Here's the business end of my gold Invicta with an automatic Miyota movt.
I also have a stainless Steel one that is indentical looking but actually has a seiko auto movement but branded as Invicta, it is NICE and keeps great time. I think as a whole invicta could use higher QC standards. JMHO

Burned my cigar money for awhile, sold my Marathon Jsar and re-aquired a Helson Shark Diver

Thanks Bro, I recently found a nice Seiko Auto Divers on the interweb for a song, so that'll be coming in the mail. Some day I will get a "real" watch.

I have a few Movado's I will have to post a few pics when I get a chance, the last one I picked up is my favorite

A few pics of some of my watches. A few years ago I went through a watch collecting phase.

Have any of you bought from the gray market dealers in the orient? I am in the market for a Tag Heuer 1887.

Yes. I bought my IWC from a Malaysian watch place online. It was a long time ago and forgot the name, but there are many in Asia that are 100% legit. Better Swiss watch scene in Singapore than Switzerland from a consumers perspective.

True, but just arriving back from Switzerland, I can tell you the selection of 100% legit watches from authorized dealers there is nothing shy of impressive. The prices are definetly high there though. Been looking for a IWC Aquatimer Chrono and the prices are definetly much higher in Switzerland. But just seeing stuff like a Ulysse Nardin Tourbillon displayed in a shop window makes me weak in the knees.

What... you're not getting the Deep One or Deep Two??? Love the Aquatimer series; one of the best dive watches IMO. Love the Blancpain dive watches also.

The Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich is just mind blowing for the watch lover. So are the prices.
