Does anyone know where is the most reliable place to buy watches, like an Omega Constellation (similar to Head-Fi and Audiogon)?

From a reputable, authorized, local Omega dealer.  If you need a name for the Omega dealer I do business with, let me know.

I guess I meant vintage Omega Constellations.  New ones are unfortunately out of my price range =(

For those of us with limited budgets what are some recommendations around the 100 dollar range? I was looking at something like:

any thoughts?

That's a nice, clean looking watch. And Citizens are amazing for the money! Citizen, Seiko, Seiko 5, or even a used Hamilton are my recommendations if you don't have a large budget.

How do you guys clean your stainless steel watches? Over the years, it has accumulated some grime in the area between the links, which I can't reach with a cloth or anything like that. Is there an effective cleaning method that won't damage the polished finish?

I use Simichrome polish. For the hard spots, use a tooth brush to apply, and for getting it out of the nooks and crannies, use a soft toothbrush to polish. It leave a protective barrier so it wont get dirty as easy, next time.

I use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Wave-CD-2800-Ultrasonic-Eyeglass/dp/B001DKDAVW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=jewelry&qid=1275749185&sr=8-2
 
It's very effective at getting grime out of old bracelets etc. If the watch is waterproof, I just drop it in, otherwise you have to take the bracelet off.

The local Rolex dealer stopped carrying Fortis so they put all the Fortis watches on sale 50% off!! So since I had been to that store looking at Fortis at least 20 times over the last years now was my time. I love the brand, the design. I love this watch since it takes the best from a Flieger and a Diver watch and melts it into one.

That is the best looking Fortis I've ever seen! Congrats!

Check out one of my graduation presents from my parents!! It is my first real watch, aside from a couple of Fossil's and Nike's.
