    I’m into wrist candy. Trust me you did good. It gets way more expensive. The $3,00 - $3,500 range gets you to the $800 - $1,200 knife range so just imagine. Great looking watch! Also vintage 60’s Swiss automatics are great buys in the $300 - $400 range. I just grabbed a collector grade 1960 Benrus for $250!

    The bezel changing feature is really cool. My favorite watches are watches that look good with different straps to give some variety, or in this case a different bezel to make it feel almost like a new watch. Love the micro adjust system on this watch as well. Something someone new to watches probably wouldn’t realize is such an awesome feature especially headed into summer. Love talking watches. Enjoy!

    Stunning watch and excellent choice for a new collector! I’d love to have one myself! One watch I’d advise you to look at is the Casio Oceanus line. They have some amazing offerings ranging from $500-$1200 range. I just got a Oceanus manta and it truly is the nicest watch I’ve owned to date…just some ideas for the slippery slope that you are now standing on!

    Insane. This this is an absolutely beauty. My first dive watch was a Movado just because my grandfather ALWAYS wore something from them.
