If you stick with their "better" watches meaning around $400 they have some fantastic bargains like the Expedition Series for instance.

I have the S1 which is half the price. They spent so much on the injection molded case the rest of the watch is cheap looking though it has a good Citizen mvmt. Maybe the S2 overcomes that but when...

Just saw an ad by Timex for their new top of the line. Almost $1000 for a Timex. Would you spend that much for one? It's Swiss made but for that price the competition is very keen.

Seiko makes more models than you can shake a stick at. They make many thin dress type watches that are very affordable.

I think spending a mint for a watch you only wear maybe once a month or less...

It blazed the trail when it comes to watch design and became an instant classic. You may or may not agree with that but you know it's like when someone told you to eat something when you were a kid...

Any "good watch" can come off the production line with issues. Rolex is a mass produced watch. It's not as if it was custom made. When watches come off the line they get a certain amount of...

Well, of course they die. Many quartz based dive watches and computers have the date the battery was installed engraved on the back and most change the battery religiously on a set schedule. As far...

Most professional divers use a pro type timer depth gauge which is what they depend on for their lives. Most save the Rolex for cocktail time at the bar. There are loads of serious watches for casual...

Yea, Invicta was still making some great pieces are late as maybe 15 years ago or so. I had their Swiss Diver which I would put up against any watch on the market period. It was that good and was a...

Yes folks lose it when Rolex is mentioned but rather than be a fanboy for the brand understand why folks have the attitude they have.

Too many people think Rolex "is the best watch in the world"...

You say VALUE? Har har.

Any watch at the 2 grand mark has value and less than 1 grand that much more.

There is no magic in a watch, any watch. The only reason some watches command the prices...

I've heard of them before.

At any rate you can find JL everywhere from Amazon to department stores and all over the place. They have become more a fashion brand. I don't know where they are made...

If I had that watch I'd sell it and laugh all the way to the bank.

That's in the same vane as Swatch/Omega with the moonwatch knockoff. You can only get one at select Swatch Stores and only in person.

I've had a couple of Doxa watches and I sold them both. I don't know what they do to their metal but I've never seen a case that scratched so easily.

I've had a Tungsten carbide watch and the problem with those is the stuff is a hybrid metal ceramic and the case is very brittle. It looks and feels like metal but it's made using a sintering process...

Naa, they are plenty of watches made these days like IWC and Rolex and Patek that make larger watches in solid 18k and Platinum too. Now, you won't find any 46mm or 44mm watches like that unless you...

I agree with you 100% but as straight razor users we aren't exactly on the vanguard of technology.

There seems to be no problem with folks, including women with 6 inch wrists or smaller wearing an apple watch or a Samsung Watch which is around 45mm or so. If anything that trend might more...

There is no magic in a watch. It's just a bunch of gears and cams and "jewels" often times sourced in the "East" and assembled in Switzerland and cased and adjusted there. Like the drug companies...

Don't give them ideas.

Well, a quarter mil for a watch is outside just about everyone's budget.

At one time you could buy an English Pocket Watch back in the 18th century and it was made just like that and it only cost...

When you start talking fashion it's some dudes at an agency deciding what's in style and what's out of style. That's so you have to go out and buy all new stuff.

40mm isn't considered big these...

Only 70???

Maybe some day you'll catch up to me. I have around 90 counting pocketwatches.

Any classic watch with a moon phase hits the spot for me.

If you get tired of that watch feel free to send it over to me.
