Of course it does, hell, it also has all the super high end brands (Rolex, Omega, etc.) But thats strictly grey market without warranty.

Rolex is used. I have yet to buy a new watch over $1000. The depreciation on a new timepiece is just too killer. And the value on used timpieces right now are too good to pass up.

I completely agree. You take a massive hit on new watches and there are some really excellent values used now, too. Also, the cost of a service on most new watches has skyrocketed recently. I still love my watches, but I haven't bought for awhile and think that my collecting is mostly done. I'm going to stick to collecting stuff with reasonable repair costs or that I can service myself.

Used is definitely the way to go with some watches - especially when the prior owner(s) take very good care of the timepieces. I also practically gawked when I saw what the typical costs that were quoted for servicing a Rolex were: especially considering Rolex recommends doing so once every couple of years (like my dad ever will). I much prefer going through the used market and vintage markets for watches these days.

Is that Rolex Submariner more comfortable to wear than that Omega Seamaster ?

 

[intoflatlines]

I've changed my mind yet again.. Now I'm thinking of going for a Junkers G-38 Titanium watch.. It has an [size=x-small]ETA 2824-2 movement, which is supposedly pretty decent? [/size]

I want to get the one that Long Island Watch advertises as having a solid titanium bracelet, but the Junkers' German website (translated using Google) says that the bracelet is stainless steel.. Not sure what should do. I have a metal allergy so I need either a titanium bracelet or a leather band. How easy is it to purchase a true titanium bracelet that will fit on this watch?

The ladies at Ben Bridge Jewelers let me try on both while I was there trying to pick one out for my dad. Between the old Rolex Submariner style (16610 family of movements) and the Seamaster, I had to hand it to the Seamaster personally. But between the new Rolex Submariner style (116610 family of movements) and the Seamaster, I think it really will come down to your preference in appearance and weight overall. They are both very comfortable on the original bracelet but I think the Rolex tends to feel a bit heavier on the wrist than the Seamaster. The difference between the two styles of Rolex Submariner really makes a difference through. The newer model uses the new clasp that just feels much better against the wrist than the older style clasp.

I should have bought a submariner when it was cheaper.
