I love these stories and seeing people getting 'converted' to mechanical movements. These things are fascinating.Originally Posted by gdl203
PS: nice selectin but their prices are off-the-charts expensive!!
They are expensive, but I like the fact that they give you a one year warranty and their watch restoration is regarded as top notch. Plus, if I have a problem I can always go to their shop. I asked if they had any flexibility on pricing and received a firm "no".
As a relatively new watch fan, I'm willing to pay more for the ability to view the merchandise "in real life" and for the education.
LD, that is a sweet watch. I need something like that in my life...Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
Thanks, Moo. I like yours - it looks like fun! I have a Sturhling Original that I bought on impulse just for the look.

Sweet - what's the diameter?Originally Posted by jhcam8
1.25 inches or 3 cm. I was just on holiday in your lovely state - Pentwater was a great find (slightly smaller than Saugetuck but much less touristy).

What's the name of that Seiko Japanese market military watch that's fairly popular? I even remember some folks mentioning a reputable, (and cheap) eBay seller...
Edit: So I'm a stupid, lazy asshole. Found it by searching, in the first few results and have since purchased one from Amazon. Excited.

That's good and I'm sure the turista dollars are welcome - it's hard to find nice spots after the maniacal over-building here.

Just ordered this watch. Valjoux 7750 movement, display back, domed sapphire crystal, deployant clasp. Bulova sure is stepping up their game. I'll post real pics when I receive the watch. I'm really excited - especially since I bought the last one available!

This is a question from a complete watch novice.
Does IWC make a smaller version of that Portuguese? I absolutely love the look of that watch, but a 41mm watch would swallow my small wrist.
actually traded the Portuguese with blue hands for the gold hand version...

People here seem to prefer leather straps. People start with cheap velcro when they are 12, then move up to plastic when they are 15, then cheap metal when they are 17, nicer metal when they are 22 and then after that people of class seem to enjoy leather alot.
Anyone care to explain their leather preference?
Thanks!
