That's interesting because my daily watch is a Tissot PRS 200, which I have owned for about 7 years...it has served me well and still looks quite modern. Go to the orient if you want to buy a watch...I was in Hong Kong last September with some friends. There are so many jewelry stores on the street in the old downtown part of Hong Kong with used Rolexes and many other watches. I don't know enough about the subject but some of the used ones I saw for $10,000 US were apparently "deals"...I would have a hard time spending that much on a watch though.

I should have said I like some of the old school Tissots better than the new ones. I like my PRC100. Looks good and is a solid piece.

As far as the Rolex... I almost bought the one I just described about a year ago for something like $7700, but decided to wait. When the market picks back up and things are back in order I will pull the trigger.

^ do you characterize this as a new or old style watch? This is mine.

Definitely a new style.

When I say old school I mean these designs. This is from the heritage collection so technically it's new, but it's based on an old design.

Pretty difficult to take a picture and get the details of the watch. Daily wearing good watch. Invicta Grand Diver

sorry but the whole rolex thing never caught on to me.. i appreciate the zenith movements of the late rolex's.. i like omega's and such but could never hop on the rolex wagon.. i like tags though go figure lol. I have a few seikos and honeslty they are nice daily watches and keep time very well. I just would absolutely love to move into high end time pieces with sick movements. If you want to see the movements completely open check out a Richard Mille timepiece.. unbelievable. It'll probably never happen in my lifetime but just an example, and a dream lol.

I very much want a Rolex Explorer II, but I've got a hard time justifying spending that much on a watch.
