I don't get it? I don't buy used watches. The Omega i got is brand new.

I have owned close to 200 watches over the past 14 years. and all of them were purchased used on the secondary market.

The reason? In the old days I could buy a mint condition watch with full boxes and papers, for 1/3 of the MSRP....wear it around for a a few months and get 100% of my money back and sometimes even make a small profit when I got bored with it.

I don't bother buying watches now as the fakes are getting too hard to tell from the genuine ones and there are too many scammers that have infiltrated the watch forums.

I keep an Excel spreadsheet with all my prior transactions and I haven't lost any money from the watches I bought/sold. That's not a bad deal considering the costs associated with other hobbies.

Just picked this up. Citizen Eco-Drive. Calibre 8700. Very classic, it has perpetual calendar has an alarm, dual time and a non-reflective crystal for easy reading. Looks better in person. Did not thought i would like citizen watches but this one in pretty cool. Here some quick pick i shot.

Hi guy's

Just got back from Calgary jewellery. They had a eberhard for sale today. They where 50% off on clearance.. The watch was $3000 but i can get it for $1500. What do you think?

They also had a new Hamilton Jazz Master Open heart that i can get for a good price?

Here is some pics.

Which to go with?

Eberhard.






Jazz Master.

[Pacman]

That Eberhard Traversetolo Vitre is a decent watch. I used to own one and you can pick them up in used, but mint shape for under $1,000.

If you want a less expensive alternative, using the EXACT same movement (Unitas 6497), check out the Swiss Army/Victorinox Ambassador XL handwind. You can pick them up brand new on Ebay for $250 - $300 (they retail at $700 I believe) and it's basically the same watch and would be comparable quality.....as long as you can get over the "Swiss Army" logo on the dial.

I've owned a few of them over the years and they are great.

I used to own a Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro chrono and they are good watches for the money.

[ICEBERG]

Thank's Pacman.

I have few swiss army watches that i wear on and off. So really don't want to get another one. But do you think that the eberhard is a better quality watch than the Hamilton jazz master for the same price?

Never owned these two watches, so any info on them would be great. I am more of a Omega fan.

cheers

how big is that eberhard? i like the simplicity of the design and it looks to be a manual-wind watch?

[Pacman]

They are both going to be good "quality", and you probably won't find much of a fit/finish/quality difference between either of those watches and a Breitling/Omega/Rolex etc unless you crack open the case and start inspecting movement parts for high quality finishing (not that Breitling/Omega or Rolex really have any high quality finishing on their movements in the first place).

If you want a chrono function and an auto movement, then go for the Hammy. If you don't mind hand winding your watch every morning and have no use for a chrono.....then go with the Eberhard.

I think mine was around 43mm, give or take 1mm

[flipstah]

I'm a fan of Movado's as well ever since I bought my very first one!

I have an eclectic watch collection so don't hate.

[The Cosworth]

^^ I like a couple in that second pic. Nice.

I am thinking I will pic one of these up in the next few days. They are a cheap 'knock off' if you will of a A. Lange and Sohne Lange 1. But I dont have $175,000 to drop on a turbillion one yet.

[ICEBERG]

OK guy's.

This is the new watch i brought home from Calgary Jewellery. Hope you like it.

Nice watch, the Eberhard's are certainly an underappreciated watch. That one almost has a Patek look to it. Good pick.

Thanks,

I love watches where reading the time is easy (after all that is what a watch is for), so for its simple elegance the Eberhard was the clear winner for me.

cheers,

The new Hamilton Jazz Master was $1750. Calgary Jewellery Just got the watch in last week. I could have had the watch for $1300 with taxes included...
