Re: Seestern... why do I feel dirty?!

For me, it depends on the watch being, uh, "homaged". I have no problem with an inexpensive Rolex Sub/Explorer knock off. You can't buy the real thing at retail and they're even nuts pre-owned. If I shell out $100-$500 for an Invicta or a Steinhart, I'm not taking money away from the Big R. Omega? N...

Re: Done with Fleabay

I've never sold a watch on EBay, but I've sold a few here and on WUS. And Rule No. 1 for me is no international shipping. None. Zero. It's a total PITA and not worth the hassle. Not even Canada. I sent a $150 watch to Canada a couple of years ago and accidentally used the wrong shipping service( USP...

Re: So my wife bought me a watch...

That's really nice - I work in an office. I'd wear that thing proudly. About 5 years ago, my wife let me know that she found a great deal on a "nice German made watch" and that she would put it under the tree for Christmas. I was stoked - Stowa? Sinn? Nomos? Nope. Sturhling. She saw an ad on the "To...

Re: Smartwatches: A Good Thing? Or Modern Day Quartz Crisis?

Some will cringe, but I wear both. I wear a fitness tracker on my right wrist, because I like the data it gives me, primarily heart rate, sleep score and workout data. I got the smallest, most discreet one I could find, and actually turned off most of the notifications, because I don't need a devic...

Re: Seestern... why do I feel dirty?!

I'm not an "homage" guy either , but I did drop $175 on the blue Seestern. My rationale: 1. I've always liked the Doxas, but the design was always a bit of a novelty to me. Strictly a summer/vacation watch and frankly -as I live in Colorado - I wasn't ready to drop $2K on a pure dive watch I would w...

She was beyond upset. But I've talked to a lot of ...

But it knows these pieces go for 2X and up on the grey market. So does the AD just sell to a grey at an inflated price? If so, how is that...
