I got it as a birthday gift, i personally love it because of how it looks and i won't need to check my phone once in a while. I needed a watch for school anyway. So i guess i chose a good watch that can possibly last longer than i expect

I passed on the AVI-8. Even during the lightning deal it looked like workmanship wasn't worth the price they were asking. The various images show misaligned paint and overall a lack of attention to the fine details. I've had sub-$100 watches that have precise detailing so even though I liked the look quite a bit it wasn't worth the investment. And I think if I'm to buy another watch any time soon it'd be either one I've had my eyes on for some time or a nice automatic with Swiss movement.

 
Yes - a co-worker ordered one of those through Amazon and arranged to return it within minutes of opening the box - because the "second marks" weren't even spaced correctly on the dial.  The marks would come into alignment with the second hand for only about 1/3 of the dial.  Yuck!

But it's a beautiful watch!  Enjoy it!  
 
I'm somewhat like you, in terms of self-discipline (only barely), in that I've managed to stop "collecting" watches - with five that are working fine, I've got four more than I "need."

Thank you, Luckily that watch was the last in stock there in the store. Well i'm not surprised about head-fiers spends lots on stuff so...

Fitted a new silicon strap to my C11 Titanium Elite. Really happy with the look and comfort over the stock strap...

Collecting watches is the other hobby I have and like audio equipment, is destructive on your savings. :rolleyes:

I've thinned the herd a while back, but still have a Bulova Seaking as backup, a 60's Omega Seamaster Geneve and a 70's Tissot Seastar that I wear daily among others that I have stored away. Lots of 'sea' in this era.

Nothing comes close to a mechanical watch IMHO. Amazingly enough, I haven't serviced any of these watches in years, but still keep time accurate to the minute each day, unless I forget to wind them over the weekend.

May post images later.

Please do. Images are good.

Amazon has a couple of 20% off coupons that work on watches they sell. 20OFFWATCH and SUMMERSAV work on many different models but they don't stack. I've been wanting a new watch lately but I have no idea what to pick. So many choices.

I wonder of those coupons would work on one of the $100,000+ watches? $20,000 off!

If that's up your alley go for it! I'd love to save the price of a car off a watch that runs the price of a house.

Anyone know good places to buy vintage watches online, aside from ebay?

-I've had nothing but great experience with Neil at chronomaster.co.uk; he's got a nice (though not exhaustive!) collection of vintage watches on offer for what I consider reasonable prices.

I've also bought from watches.co.uk twice - no complaints, though my impression is that their mark-up is slightly higher than at Chronomaster.

Finally, chrono24.com is essentially the eBay of watches.

Ooo thank you! Now to find the Longines of my dreams...

Interesting!
 
I just tried the 20OFFWATCH code without actually purchasing, but the price was recalculated with a 20% discount against this Movado - a savings of $199:
