Fancy Watches On The Cheap
During the last stock market boom I had made a little bit of money. At that time I had often contemplated buying an expensive watch but it seemed like such a waste of money and I put it off. Anyway the market crashed and so did my dreams of owing an expensive watch. I promised when I made some money again, I definitely enjoy some of it.
Part of that enjoyment was traveling, which I did a fair amount of in the past 2 years. But now that watch idea has reared its head again after I saw my boss’s Omega Seamaster
Here’s the ones I liked. Of course they cost around 20-50% cheaper online.
- Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Limited Edition
- Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
- Omega Speedmaster Day Date
- Mens Tag Heuer Carrera 40th Anniv
- TAG Heuer Carrera Steel And Gold
- Tag Heuer Link
There was only one Rolex that I liked, the Rolex Daytona Oyster
Before buying any watch online, make sure you know what size suits your wrist. For me I felt the 42 mm felt the best, but the range is from 39mm to 45mm. If you get the wrong size, you won’t enjoy it.
I also like the Omega Speedmaster Moon to Mars
Plus every 5 years (10 for the new Omega Coaxial series) you need to spend $400-500 to get them serviced, so its an on going commitment. (kind of like an expensive girlfriend!)
Anyway, if I buy one I’ll let you know. It’ll probably be from Amazon.com. I could of course get a comparatively cheaper Seiko, some of which are awesome cool watches, but then again, its not really a luxury brand.
And if any of you are feeling generous, I’m open to accepting gifts and donations

I’ve got a Swiss watch… but it cost $70 it looks vaguely like those ones, made by Swatch. I could go buy one of those watches anytime, but I guess I don’t get the point. I bought a former girlfriend a Movado watch – cost about $300. It seemed the most appropriate and nice watch at the time.
Anyway, seems like watches are becoming obsolete as people are close to clocks in cars, computers, and cellphones (though I don’t own one) all the time.

any watch that costs over $200 is a piece of jewelery, ahem, i mean work of art.
its like having a pretty adornment on your wrist! the fact that it tells time is secondary.

I think some of the Swiss watch that moom is talking about looks as much like art as some of the others. I love Movado’s and think the simplicity behind them are even more like art. I think they can be just as pretty as for 1/10th the price.
If you are stuck on a name brand, I’ve had luck with my Seiko Kinetic watch at World Watches. That was over a year ago though.
