      Watches are another weakness of mine…

      Raymond Weil makes solid watches, from what little I know of the brand.  I like the style of this one, and I've always loved the jumbo date window.  Quartz movement, I assume?

        Gonna buy a croc strap for it though… Made the guy an offer, we'll see... Quartz movement indeed.

        It's new, with 21 months of warrant to go, w/ papers and box. For 50% of the rrp. Can't really go wrong...

          Nice pick up, Seul, I reckon. Let me know if you want any suggestions for strap websites.

              Sounds good.  Hope you enjoy it; watches are fun and the great thing about them is that there's something out there for every style and occasion.  That one is a good simple watch that can be dressed either up or down and still look appropriate.

                What's the big difference?.. In terms of quality, I mean. Future resale is n/a here as I will probably give it away to family if I decide to buy another watch…

                Oh: and it hàs a croc strap. Nice!..  😘

                  Watch freaks are a weird breed, they really get off on the pure mechanistic qualities of an auto. I think that the there is a feeling that coupling a low cost quartz movement with a high end brand has a demeaning effect. Notwithstanding that the average auto movement in mid-high range watches is a generic ETA movement that probably costs $100.

                  Quartz makes a lot of sense, from an accuracy POV, and also from a pick up and go - i.e.: you wont need to wind it.

                  I'm not a snob about it, just thought it was worth a mention.

                                Yay, awesome! That's an older model than mine I think, I think I prefer it with the exposed titanium. Have you seen the latest incarnation:

                                            Nice watch Seul, I do like black faced watches.

                                            just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…
