anyone see the Seiko Astron GPS watch in person? I like the GPS feature and price point, but at 47mm its seems a bit huge.

Just some food for thought (and beg pardon if it's already been covered) but $5k opens up some FAR more attractive options on the secondary market as compared with buying new.

and if you were considering an Omega De Ville or the like, 30-40% off is where I START.

Where can I see an Omega De Ville for 30-40% off list?

Lauren at Inventory Adjustors, Phoenix AZ, 602-278-5966, please tell her Robert sent you. They are one of the largest wholesale pre-owned dealers for 2nd tier (Tag, Movado, Omega, etc.) in the US. Typically you can expect 50% off list for used no box or papers. Just don't call her and ask for a Daytona or a Patek please.

Then you wouldn't really be making too much! But if that's ok with you, I cant really disagree!

Most know I am anti-watch bug! In my humble opinion; a fella only needs a few watches! I wouldn't be sitting on 17 like I was, thinking I'm gonna cash in big in 10 yrs. (2-long)! You may be kicked off the planet by that time! Then you gonna leave your wife or your kids "watches," why? It would make more since to keep a few and dump the rest, take the cash and put it into a trust or money market like you wrote! Because we, maybe some of us know when people bring in their loved ones collectables to a dealer or pawn broker; they get what they get and are happy they got something out of it, pennys on the dollar!

The Omega is nice! You can pick up a decent Mont Blanc for that price too.

List price of $3,600.

You can try Cartier, Breitling, BVLGARI, Longines and TAG Heuer watches. Some models of Rolex and Omega are also available for around 5000$ range.

This is another good option.

I am guessing his comments are referring to the retailer's listed price. If that's the case, then I agree with him in that they are often way overpriced. That was what I meant.

You are right. Retailer rates are usually overpriced. Why don't you check out some online options, especially the price comparison lists. This will help you the find the actual price.
