Nice. Sure beats a Rolex.


What is your problem? If this is an attempt at humour it fails miserably. If you don't like the watch posted, I suggest you at least have the decency to keep your gob shut.

Here's a link to his eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Rustwatch

He also sells pretty much the same merchandise on Blujay, for a few dollars less than his eBay prices. I wasn't familiar with Blujay before, but the buying process works well (with payment via PayPal). Here's a link to his Blujay store: http://www.blujay.com/?page=profile&...name=rustwatch


I've also bought from and recommended him in the past. He is a great seller.

Not sure if that's accurate or not...but I was looking for a nice looking vintage manual wind watch and this fit the bill.

I remember when you posted the score. It's a great watch.

Thanks. I was bummed b/c it stopped running a couple days after I got it. I sent it back to the seller and supposedly it was fixed but ti stopped running after a day or so. So I took it to a reputable jeweler and spent about $150 to get it serviced. It's been running great ever since.

Good lord Medtech that is an abortion of magnificent proportions.

Bought my first watch yesterday, from the Longines Master Collection. Im only 16, so it was hard on my wallet, but totally worth it. Hopefully it will last long.

This is what I wear everyday (I would have shot it on my wrist, but even with long arms, 50mm is pushing it. So, it got the star treatment

). I also have the Desire model on a nice black leather strap, but I'll have to post a pic of that one later. The next watch purchase will probably be an Omega De Ville.

Excellent. I've got the black face with the arabic numerals. I don't think I've actually worn it once though. Probably should sell the bastard. It really is a fantastic watch.
