Got it used. 6 months old so still got 18 months of warranty left.

I was thinking of getting Omega Speedmaster Professional as my first Omega but it didn't happen. I have bought two Seamasters since, hopefully I will get one in the future.

I'm very sorry because I know it's not the most polite thing to do but I like the version with the hindu-arabic numerals better.

Sorry!

This watch is a BEAUT. Very very nice. Now *that's* a dress watch.

Now that's a beautiful watch. A Movado has been at the top of my list to buy whenever I have enough spare money for a dress watch, but I think it has a serious contender now as to which I buy first. There's a very understated elegance to that I like.

It is all a matter of taste, I said I preferred the roman numerals while another member had one with the 1,2,etc numerals. To each their own, how boring would it be if everyone had the same watch!

Ive had this one since 1996.

The legendary Submariner. The price has increased. It's too late for me now.

i remember when i bought mine in 1996 - it was $2500.
m not sure how much it is now. i have not checked it out.

btw these suckers needs to be cleaned once in a while when u use it in water a lot and its a lot to pay for cleaning .

Submariner 14060M sells for around $6,000. It's not cheap to service such a watch either.

Do people actually use the Submariners for things like SCUBA diving? I'm a diver myself, and a $6000 Rolex could buy me an entire setup including dive computer, and a few spare tanks to boot.

Can't imagine that salt water would be good for something like that, though.

This is what I wear:
Amazon.com: Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch #8926: Invicta: Watches

and this is what it compares to:

I couldn't imagine personally wearing a watch while diving (especially with the functionality of modern dive computers), but I wasn't sure if some of the more moneyed divers out there (maybe the ones who own their own dive boats, heh) wore them in the water, too.

I'll never spend more than $400 on a watch myself, as I only wear them on formal situations and those are pretty rare for me. Not that I could afford a Rolex, anyway

It's no Invicta, but it's a nice watch....
