Default Re: always car posts, how about a watch?

Hi Chisness,

If you are going to get a new watch, then a Rolex is a nice choice, but there are other choices. For example, the Omega Seamaster is a great watch, and not as much money. That first one you listed is terrible, BTW. If you want multiple times, get a Rolex GMT.

Another option is a vintage watch. I have an old Rolex and it's unique and cool (50+ yrs old). Several of today's designs are simply retro designs reborn - you might as well get the original. Nobody else will have one.

The problem with buying high-end vintage watches is that there are fakes. If a price seems too good to believe, it is. However, I have bought several watches from these guys, and they are all top-notch:

I wouldn't hesistate to buy a Patek or Rolex from these guys over the web. It will be a great watch, and all original if they state it.

Good luck,
Sucker
