Poor man's watch thread

[Elessar]

Do you guys have any tips for fishing vintage pieces? What are the best reliable sources? Are there any watch - only commerce websites for buy / sell / trade?

My new Hamilton Jazzmaster. (Sorry for the poor lighting.)

That is really nice.

My current favorite thanks to @RogerP Kopped on sale for under 1K so it makes the guidelines!

^^^^ Mine has been a total wrist-hog. Enjoy!

Hey Roger you were talking about wretched excess, I just kopped 3 Seikos in the span of 3 minutes, 2 on eBay, 1 on Amazon. Of course I saw them all in this thread. Good thing all three came in under $500. I must stop now!

I've run into a bit of a problem- my Squale with a 2824 is running like 2 1/2 - 3 min fast a day... It was fine before, but the past few weeks it's been really frustrating to manage. Is this a warranty issue or should i just sent it to my local watch guy and get adjusted?

It may just need to be demagnetized, which your local guy should do for free. Take it there first to see if this works.

Thanks guy, that's good advice.

Can anyone help me out on finding a new dial for my watch? Dropped it on the edge of a table this morning. Elgin BW Raymond 23jewels

I think the jazzmaster autochrono is one of the nicest watches you can find for that price.

That´s the jazzmaster GMT. It looks much better in person than in the hamilton website, it looks great
