QUOTE(patryn33 @ May 9 2011, 12:48 AM) U looking for quartz? such design? Thx for the awesome recommendation. Yea..was eyeing the tissot.. Hehe![]() U can try mondaine, swiss army ![]() ![]() 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. http://www.ocean7watchco.com/cs2/index.php...ew&product_id=9 ![]() The mondaine looks very nice too. But what's the diff between the watch tech, quartz and mech?auto? |

QUOTE(patryn33 @ May 11 2011, 01:53 AM) quartz vs mech/Auto? yea.thanx dude for the info..was looking for someone to provide a simple and straight forward answer.hehe 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. |

QUOTE(ivanswk @ Jun 9 2011, 02:26 PM) higher value when u buy it.. how much does a samurai ti set you back? hahabvlgari 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 |
