From what I've read, their quality is so-so but for <$150, I'd take a chance.

thanks. im just wondering why they have some sales on them that are <$150 but had an original price of $700-ish....why so cheap or is it just a ploy to make it look like you are saving a ton?

Probably. They do that a lot with brands that they can't move. Jack up the price and hope someone buys it then lower it to the price you want so that it looks more affordable.

At the end of the day, if you think it's worth that price, you'd buy it.

Thanks! I agree, most other Breitlings are too flashy and/or huge for my tastes.

The Transocean is simple and clean. I actually really like the non chrono Transocean as well, but I've only seen it without the clear caseback. The rose gold version is pimp, but at $18k, way too expensive for my blood.

im all about the rose gold for some reason, i think it just looks so classy. my Bulova Marine Star is black and rose gold, but has some diamonds on it so its a little flashy, but i like a LITTLE flash sometimes lol

[bmeier]

not usually a fan of rose gold but this Lum tec looks pretty sweet.

Wrist Weapon if they have it in stock, otherwise order direct from Lumtec. If you do a pre-order through WW, there's no guarantee of actually getting it as Lumtec fills all it's own orders first.

Both are great to deal with.

ya WW doesnt seem to have it on their website unfotunately :( are they always the same price?

looks like you can still pre-order it http://www.lum-tec.com/collection/upcoming-models/v-series/v6-pre-order.html

aside from pre-orders, I don't think I've seen discounts on their models.

[03ozwhip]

^^^booo, thats the V6, not the V4, they dont have pre-order on V4 as far as i can see...you got me excited...then let me down :( lol

[lint]

sorry my bad, mixed up the models. looks like the V4 is still in stock though http://www.lum-tec.com/update

whatever, i love it, ill pay the price for it i just hope its around come october...

Also while I'm posting, even in bigger flashier watches I hate the look of numbers around the outta dial.

The KC has a bronze tint to it. I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

[Supa Dexta]

I just ebay'd mine. I like it, I was wanting something with a brown tint to it for a wedding I was going to.

Its a kenneth cole kc9089, Its just what I was looking for and the price made it even easier to decide.

The face has a plum tint to it in certain light.

That's actually reasonable price for a limited edition with so much technology built in it. Although I'd wait for v 2.0

http://www.ablogtoread.com/citizen-eco-drive-satellite-wave-watch-hands-on/

[Go4Long]

Yeah, I'd still like a skyhawk for 20 percent of the price, but I see how that'd be a cool watch to have.

It's not that great of a deal. That watch shows up regularly in the Friends and Family of staff deals directly from LVMH. They sell for 50% off list brand new.

Anybody have experiences with the new Hamilton's? I was thinking of getting a Khaki but in the 300-500$ price range, I think I can get something better and unique.

I prefer the quality of the higher end, Victorinox automatic watches such as the Ambassador or the Airboss.

I've owned lots of both and found the quality of the case/crystal/dial/bracelet to be much better on the Victorinox.

The Victorinox has some killer designs. I'm conflicted between the two:

If you are price sensitive, then I would go with the Victorinox, as they can be found for at least 50% off on the open market, sometimes more of a discount can be had.

The Hamilton's are not as easy to get for such big discounts.

I've owned both of those watches (the Hamilton was not that exact model, but a different dial version) and they are the same quality with perhaps a slight edge going to the Victorinox as the AR coating on the crystal was pretty sweet.

Well, I can get the Hammy's for ~$500 if I dig around. Haven't done so on the Victorinox, yet...

On a random note, I also remember the Ventura from MIB3:

Anyone know anything about the mute watch? I see wozniak has two so I looked it up, looks kind of pricey for what it is. Lucky for me I'm going to SF and there is a store that sells it just blocks away. We'll see.

I saw that in my Watchismo newsletter:

http://www.watchismo.com/mutewatch.aspx

This one?

I think it's neat but it may be prone to more wear and tear. Also $250? Ehhh.

[Pacman]

Those Steinhart Grand Prix will be popping up for sale all over the place within 2 months of them being released. Happens all the time.

At first, they will command a 50% price premium. Then once the sellers realize there are only 200 people in the world that want one, 149 people already have them and the remaining buyers all want to pay below list..... they will drop their pants on them.

I saw this exact watch at J.Vair the other day when my gf bought her datejust. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think it was a bit over $13k, something like $13100 before discount. I could be wrong though, my minds a blur from looking at all the watches and the corresponding prices.

The sticker price sounds about right, I just want to know how much I should be paying and/or getting the watch for 'after' discounts. With J. Vair, Brinkhaus and Birks being the three places in Calgary that sell Rolex that I know of, not sure which one would give me the best discount.

i had difficulty finding this watch in stock when i got it too. so rare... when i bought it, they didn't have the brown face and had the white oyster face in stock only so i got that even though it was a bit more. but i did get discount too ofcourse but i think i saw the non oyster was around 13000 in asia

A. i like it, i love the auto too though and im thinking after this purchase that the auto phantom is my next one. so kinda cool to have the chrono and non-chrono versions, can share straps too so i will have a ton of options which means more watches for my buck.

B. its a classic, its bigger than the M too, once i get the auto M i will have more variety in Lum-Tecs. only one strap choice though.

C. its sold out, so i would have to go back to the bay and pay an extra 20% and hope the same people are not there as i would be rememberable... not in a good way :rofl:

okay... you talked me into it. just ordered option A, if i love it i'll get the auto next, if not its the lumzilla. i wore a 44mm today which is a bit thicker than the M... but i think it will be a nice watch for dress shirt days.

Hublot Big Bang Costa Smeralda

:love: :drool:

I love Hublot's but I hate the idea that they literally pump out new limited editions every single week. Really bring's down the resale value IMO.

Not really, it just brings down the resale value of the undesirable LE's. Try looking for something in high demand, ie bullet bang from years ago, it's still trading well over MSRP.

What are you guys' opinion in regards to the Hamilton watches? After hearing a lot about them, I finally pulled the trigger this morning and purchased a Hamilton Khaki King Automatic. Sucks that I couldn't try it in person to see how it'll look on my wrist. It's 40mm and I am afraid that it might be a bit on the smaller side. Other than that, love the look of it.

Its a sharp looking watch, which band did you get with it?

[shakalaka]

The exact one as the picture. I have tons of metal bracelet one's and wanted to add more leather band options. Will be worn with suits pretty much everyday, so I think it'll fit in fairly well.

I like the simple-classical aspect of it and as well as the somewhat unique factor of having the day spelt out and the positioning of day and date. Haven't really seen many styles like that. The needles and markers have lume and has a swiss automatic movement, can't really go wrong it seems like.

I don't even know the size of my wrist but I am just hoping that it won't look too small on me.


EDIT: I guess I couldn't get over the size being so small that I canceled my order. Really liked the look of the watch, but I the last automatic Hugo Boss I bought is 44mm and I feel that it could've been a bit bigger on my wrists. So, I guess I figured there's no way I'd be happy with a 40mm one.

I am eyeing the Hamilton Khaki King Pilot Auto 46mm one instead now. Even though it's almost double the price. Also looking at other brands and such. So I'd like something on the 'big' side and possibly an automatic, although if something great is overall (brand, size, look etc) I might compromise on the automatic part. Thanks for any suggestions in advance. :D

I am torn between a few options...opinions will be greatly appreciated.

I have a Jazzmaster Chronograph and I love it. At 42mm it's not "large" though. the Classic railroad is 46mm and I found that to be to big for me, but it's damn sexy.

Been following this thread closely and I'm about to pull a trigger on a watch but cant decide which one!

Opinions / thoughts on the following?

Magrette Regattare : Limited to 2011 pieces

Lum-Tec M47

I feel that the Regattare Chronograph is much nicer.

yea im leaning towards that one too the fact that it does look classier and its an automatic

[shakalaka]

I thought I had enough choices to be confused about, but now I've got another one, thanks to you.

I am thinking of the Chrono Regattare and the Mona Pacific with the PVD case. The only thing I am thinking about is the movement is a chinese Seagull movement, which arguably isn't as nice the Swiss one's found in the above posted Hamilton and Victorinox. Although admittedly, I don't know too much about movements at all.

Magrette has great casing designs but I'm not feeling the dial.

If the dial was offered in different styles and it had those detailed engravings, I would snipe in a heartbeat. :drool:
