    "...and I'm not sure how I'd feel about owning too expensive black-faced watches. I think I'd want a bit of variety, you know?"

    I happen to have a bunch of black dial watches but I know what you mean about variety. The Seamaster can be had with a few dial variations, blue, white etc. The watch hobby is a lot of fun, but can be really damaging to the old wallet. I'm in recovery from watch addiction at the present

    yes. Though there are some inexpensive watches out there, in general razors seem like chickenfeed by comparison.

    Speaking about the costs, are there any Tourbillon watch owners around?

    Always a comedian in the group eh?

    If I could afford one of those I'd buy this site.

    Actually you can get a Chinese version for about 3 grand.

    Are we talking about the same thing here?
    I've seen Tourbillon watches for under a grand.
    Granted, still many times more than what I spend on a watch, but not shocking compared to high end razors.

    The cheapest ones I've seen are at least 3 grand and those are the Chinese versions. I've never seen one for a grand.
