Nice Watches

[C4S]

I actually agree .. and I love Breitling Chrono .. just in general... and just each brand .. has HUGE price range too!! :eek: :eek:

Even Chanel ... can go up to $1/2 million!! Good for Blink Blink!!:bigpimp:

[Expiredsoda]

AP Royal Oak Carbon.

Forged Carbon Case, Tourbillon. Don't even want to know what it costs.

I like it more then my speedmaster too! It is bigger, but not heavier thx to the Titanium shell, good style and it is not as common as Rolex/Cartier/Tag/Omega/Breit etc and cheaper!! :poosie:

(but the titanium shell is very easy to get scratches!!)

It was rated the best entry level automatic watch in 2007 as well! :D (for under$2K)

Nice nob too! :)

nice watch and well priced

[B17a]

Anyone own Ulyses Nardin? I have a love-hate deal with that brand. Some of their Maxi Marine chronos are beautiful, others.....:barf:

[smc]

I was thinking of getting a movado as a graduation gift (for myself). I was looking at either the Luno 0605556, Juro 0605023 or the sports edition 0605788 wich is a bit more expensive.

My favorite is the Fiero 0605621, but it is too expensive.

Opinions on these watches?

What is the duty on importing from the states (5% + GST)?

Thx

Here is a quick pic that I took back in the summer. The car is easy to name but I would be very surprised if anyone can accurately name the watch...without spending an hour on Google.

So its the car's clock incorrect or the watch??? 11:07 or ten to one?

what IS msrp on that. I love that thing



and is it the navy frogman auto chrono???

[cam_wmh]

Personally, I've only got a few. Seiko Kinetic, Tag Heuer Sport are the ones of note.

My grandfather was a cheap Scotsman, and worked at J. Vair for 30+ yrs as their master jeweler. He swore by Seiko. LOL, tell Kenny Anderson that.

He passed away a few years ago, but has some really neat watches that the family has hidden away. There's a very rare Howard pocket watch, that I should try and get a pic of. It's gorgeous, great wedding watch.

I'm thinking of getting a Tissot next. Great watches, as mentioned previously, and reasonably priced.

Sadly, my post doesn't have pics, I'll try to get some of the family's collection.

Any suggestions for watched to look at in the sub $1000 price range? Whats a good resource for ratings/rankings?

[Weapon_R]

Originally posted by urban.one

Look at Hamilton and Oris. Both lineups are well made budget brands that can be bought for under $1000. Check online through reputable sellers for the best prices.

[Destinova403]

Canadian $ MSRP for Oris starts around 1100 for the Team Williams F1.
they are fantastic watches though...

[HyperZell]

How about this?

Limited to 5007, I believe...drool.

[RY213]

^Do you have that watch in your store?

[Destinova403]

no we dont... we can get it though... but you might need a second mortgage.

[RY213]

I remember you talking about the Parmigiani's when I was there, just wasnt sure if that was one of them.

[Destinova403]

yeah... they are beautiful watches...
that is one of their higher end ones.

[The Cosworth]

I am looking for another watch under these conditions, let me know what your thinking:

- ~$1000.00
- minimum 40mm bezel
- Saphire Crystal
- Circular Body
- Doesnt matter on the strap
- Either enclosed or skeleton, doesnt matter
- Doesnt matter if it is Auto or not, no self winding

- NOT made by the following companies:
- Citizen
- Swiss Army

To give you an idea, I dont like any of the new Seiko's and I dont like the new Tag F1 watch. Look to plastically for a $1000+ watch.

If you havn't picked up that t-touch yet, I'd consider the T-Touch Expert.
It has a bunch of new functions over the orignal and its 100M water resistant vs. 30M for the original

THe C1 retails at Calgary Jellewery for $13,900.00. I paid under 10g for it.

ssense has that sale right now going on and they sell welder watches, i know someone posted about them a little while ago. so if anyone was looking, now is not a bad time to buy, 30% off, canadian site so no duty, free shipping too

[E36M3]

I'm thinking about offering a beyond.ca store to give you guys access to deep discounts on watches. Any interest? I'll post a list of brand names when they are available and if you'd like more information, feel free to drop me a message.

If anyone is currently shopping for watches, let me know the brands and model and I will see what I can do.

[Pacman]

What kind of discount are we talking about?

Is it going to be more than the standard 25% to 30% discount that you can get at most authorized dealers?

[The Cosworth]

what does everyone think about nixon watches? I dont know what kind of movement they use or anything but some of their newest designs I quite like. They also seem expensive to be a cheapo watch maker (like fossil)

Are they the crap that I think them to be?

I am just liking these two designs:

http://www.uncrate.com/men/images/2008/08/nixon-magnacon.jpg

[ercchry]

they use japanese quartz movements for the most part, they make a few higher end pieces that are in the 1-2g range that have chromatic japanese movements. they have some pretty cool styles and the watches are pretty tough. i have one, i think it is the banks model. it has a nice weight to it and i wear it when i travel and when im up at the lake

EDIT: turns out there chromatic watches are swiss made, also have a few other swiss made movements too

[Tezzating]

I just picked up one of these for going out and occational work use..

Yeah it was, not sure where the guy got it all he said was "not in Calgary" ha-ha


I really liked it to be honest. The Saphire Crystal coveres the bezel screws, it looks really sharp. I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone though.

I had one for a while. I loved the watch but found it hard to wear. Because it was on a rubber strap I didn't like wearing it to dress up, and the Rose gold was a little too much for casual.

Can anyone comment on dealing with Calgary Jewellery on 17th? Is it relatively easy to get the standard 20-25% discount? Most shops I’ve been to in Calgary will offer a discount in this range if you are serious about purchasing. I don't want to end up going there and wasting my time if all I’m going to get is MSRP. lol.

Oh .. you should offer this earlier ..
Are you in watch/jew business??

Btw .. the big bang is awesome .. I love the senna edition a lots .. but I dont see any place selling them in Calgary ..

Rosegold big bang will be too pricey .. :facepalm:

talk to matt. they easily give you 25% off. EASY. ask how much the watch is and if they can move on the price. he will.

i talked to him on the phone and he was very helpful. and i did purchase what i was looking for and got an awsome price.

[C4S]

:eek: Um .. depends on which brand ..

Baume & Mercier/Tag/Omega/Oris .. may be 20-25% area depends on model ..

Breitling/Tag etc .. probably more ..

Cartier ... Rolex .. no way .. unless old models or ladies ..

( Calgary Jewellery don't sell Rolex .. )

Actually .. those Bell and Ross are really really cool .. and ~ $3-4K for a 46 mm .. quite nice .. :) (after discount from C J ;) )

[That.Guy.S30]

omega for sure.... didnt ask about the other brands.. he didnt tell me 20-25% off. he gave me msrp and gave me his price which worked out roughly that. (tax in)

also like to note that the no one in calgary or las vegas was willing to touch his pricing. so it was a no brainer.

[ercchry]

so i was looking at watches.... again haha, and i ran across a brand call u-boat, they have some pretty cool looking watches and they come in HUGE sizes (like 43mm-55mm)

i really like the flightdeck cab 3 50mm (55mm is a little too crazy :rofl: )

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3F6zCUWga4U/SE9Rg5u2IEI/AAAAAAAAAMg/s2gQio5jWWI/s1600/Picture%2B3.png

from what i can find price on this is around the $4k mark :dunno:

[RY213]

http://www.thetimezone.com/media/enlarge/TOFC-50-CAR-BKWH.jpg


I looked through their watches, pretty cool looking. Some of them look similar to the B&R watch posted earlier. That one is $7650:eek:

Like I said earlier in the thread that I am more into designer brands, this is the latest one I got. It's a Louis Vuitton Tambour Chronograph

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1334/803189206_a12a7e8e98.jpg (not the actual pick, but looks like it.)

This is almost my first leather strap watch ever, all my other watches are chain bracelet style. I usually don't fancy leather straps, but saw this in Paris on Champs Elysees and fell in love with it and the gf bought it as a Christmas present.

[C4S]

U boat is nice ..

But .. I never know they are $4K ??? :eek: :eek:

Or $4K for their higher model?? IMO .. if 4K (street price) go for BELL ROSS for huge and great style .. or Breitling for big size and traditional .. :)

Nice man, I have the same watch, the strap totally fell apart on me though.

What does a replacement strap for one of those cost? Looks like it has proprietary ends on it, so you probably can't buy an OEM strap unless you cut out some notches.

I think it was around $400 when I priced it out, it's a nice watch performs well, I'm just unsure as to who makes the movements. If I did it all over again i would probably get something else. Still love it though.

Mine came with a 5 year guarantee, but I am not quite sure if that covers straps though. But maybe worth looking into.

[Redlyne_mr2]

How much was it in France? Heard LV is cheaper out there.

[shakalaka]

I would say it is a bit cheaper over there yes. I had looked at the same watch in California and it was near about $5,500 US. And I paid 3,250 euros which turns out to be just over $4,500 US. I didn't even realize this was the case but I am not complaining. I suppose it makes sense though, LV being French and all.

[Projek01]

I managed to get 30% off when i got my omega from calgary jewelery. i walked in and he gave me the price without me asking. awesome guy, too bad my watch sucks and i have had nothing but water leaks

[2000impreza]

I stopped by Calgary Jewellery to check out the watches today. It is by far the best Jewellery shop i've dealt with. I walked in having my mind set on purchasing an Oris and ended pulling the trigger on a Concord :eek: . Got a great deal on the watch so I can't complain.

I stopped by Calgary Jewellery to check out the watches today. It is by far the best Jewellery shop i've dealt with. I walked in having my mind set on purchasing an Oris and ended pulling the trigger on a Concord :eek: . Got a great deal on the watch so I can't complain.

Nice, which one did you get? I was eye-ing an Ebel and a Concord when I was in Vegas this past weekend.

I think it was around $400 when I priced it out, it's a nice watch performs well, I'm just unsure as to who makes the movements. If I did it all over again i would probably get something else. Still love it though.

From the position of the subdials and the date, it looks like a ETA 7753. I have the same movement in a Sinn chronograph.

I have been looking for a thicker chrono watch but with a smaller face, any ideas?

It’s an automatic Mariner model. Might even be an discontinued model. It looks like its fitted with a nicely decorated ETA 2892-2 movement with clear display back. The watch itself is nothing special at all. It makes a good causal daily/dress watch.

The Mariners are great watches... so thin and light weight

and yeah they still make them.

does yours have the divers bezel? what colour is the face?

People who are smart enough to realize they are not worth that much to begin with...LOL

Who buys used cars? :banghead:



Watches @ retail are retarded, a lot of watch collectors end up selling a certain model for a loss, at which time we snap them up, barely even worn, at a huge discount.
