Do you wear a watch?

Damn! That's sexy! :thumbup
 
Ordered this yesterday. Supposed to arrive on Monday from Singapore, which is pretty fast.

Sweet. I love an inner rotating bezel!
 
Looks like a great find.. also while looking at the other watches offered there by that brand. Maybe I’m partial to classics..:cool

It also looks like you’re having a great deal of accumulation of watches too!

I tell myself "ok last one, really!" but then I fail miserably :laughing. I hope my next watch is a Grand Seiko, a snowflake or something similar.
 
Shit, just got word that my Jazzmaster is on backorder and wont be here in time.

Rado Centrix?

I'm partial to the Hi beat mosaic.
 
Cool, which Centrix?
This a one
R30156152

There is also a Mido that looks pretty nice but I have a few chronos already.

Which site did you in?

Is that the sentence they use in dark smoke filled warehouses in Nuu Yowk City when they have to procure a watch from a shop in Poland to the person who ordered ?

Just gotta verify...


Get a white dial Tissot Le Locle for a wedding

Or walk into Macy's and get either, including the jazzmaster (I mean--if it's urgent. )

Jomashop

I've got two Tissot's already. Maybe my fiancee is right and i have too many watches :laughing
Pulled the trigger on the Rado, with quicker shipping it should get here in time.

I was going to ask about Jomas. What I can tell, they buy closeouts or overstocks, and stuff like that. So real watches, but no warranty. Is that about right? They have an Eco Drive for half of what I can find anywhere else, and even finding it anywhere else took some looking

Yeah, grey market is it's called. The site provides it's own warranty of sorts. But if it's a well made movement I don't think it's that big of a deal. If it were a bespoke movement I would be more concerned. I don't imagine your citizen having any issues.
I've bought a few watches from them.
 
It arrived early! :teeth So fast, place the order Tuesday evening and it arrived today (from Singapore). It's a 15 yr anniversary watch. The mrs got a nice ring.

Love the watch, I tried the white+blue dial version at Macy's and it did not look right. All dark dial is way better.

As for Jomashop, they're fine. A little slow sometimes though with getting the watch out the door. My comfort level with grey market watches from Jomashop is <$1K. I bought two Hamiltons from them. I don't think I could get an Oris, Omega, or Rolex from there.

Thanks. So, I got the Citizen I was looking at, and a Seiko 5 green dial with green canvas strap.
