raymond weil NOS maybe in your budget, new collection price I think higher these days.
dare to shop online try http://www.christopherward.co.uk/ or UHR.info
or http://www.longislandwatch.com/Aristo/Aristo-Watches-1.htm

fyi this is at a bargain now esp for those looking for a swiss auto diver rated at 1000m at ~1.2K.

quartz vs mech/Auto?
a quick summary
- quartz more accurate than mech
- mech more expensive than quartz
- resale value of quartz is weaker than mech
- it cost more to service a mech
- it takes 30mins to change a battery, a mech full service is at least 1 week long
- change battery every 2-3yrs for quartz, mech service interval is every 5yrs
- water get into movement - quartz may need a replacement. Mech just a service and re-oil.
yea.thanx dude for the info..was looking for someone to provide a simple and straight forward answer.hehe rclxms.gif

higher value when u buy it..
bvlgari cosc will still hard to flip, compare to a rolex non cosc or pam 000 which is also non cosc

sidetrack, my observation on the second hand watch in the forum, easiest to flip is non other than a seiko samurai especially the titanium one, still no luck in getting one.. aiseh

how much does a samurai ti set you back? haha
