If the watch doesn't have a laser / video camera / car remote control built in then I'm not interested. Perhaps the Bond movies have given me unrealistic expectations of spy watches.
(BTW - I do...
Those results look superb. What other types of finish can be achieved with lapping machines? Are they primarily for starburst effects only?
Can't say I like either of those.
It's not so much buyers paying too much as sellers not knowing the right places to sell.
Lovely. Nice strap also.
I now want one of these. And I don't even like Rolexes. (OK - I do quite like them but am slightly put off by the bling factor.)
There's a difference between collectors and wearers. Both have a place. Decide which one you are and conduct yourself accordingly.
28 years without a service! What sort of time does it keep?
Dive watches are (or should be) what most people genuinely need in a watch - durable and legible. Hardly surprising really that they're so popular whether or not they see a drop of seawater.
Much of any price difference will be as a result of different VAT rates in the EU and state sales tax in the US. Most online retailers (such as Amazon) don't remit sales tax to the buyer's state -...
Some great watches here. The diver style in particular suits orange.
Orange and subtle don't really go together!
No dive watch. Plenty of dive style watches that are only 100m WR. Can't wait to get a Seamaster chrono.

On the topic of Nazi watches.
There's a perverse effect with cost - the easier something is to achieve the less it is appreciated. So while I don't think expense is necessary for something to be a grail, if a watch isn't...
No art, craft or real skill involved in that project IMHO.
+1 for the Tissot, but the Revue Thommen is very tempting also.
Time to start scouring the car boot sales so...

What's that model?
Don't like the crown but the rest is a nice dressy watch.
The non-chronos always seem rather bare on the dial for such a large watch. I'm also looking for a value priced Monaco chrono, but I suspect I may go on looking for a while.
A fascinating episode. Is there any good book on shenanigans and fakery in the world of watches?
