Watches - another OCD problem

[Seul]

@Chris:

I love buying on the used market, but some watch freaks get really twitchy about their precious timepiece having someone else's scratches on it.  Personally, I don't have an issue with a couple of scratches on something I'm going to beat up anyway, especially if I can get an extra 20-40% off the price for new.

You said it… My Weil goes for 5-700 € here (that is if you can find the ltd. dial)... Bought (as) new for under 300 $...

Any recommendations for second hand watch shopping in New York?

What's the word on Braun watches?

Panda on Duck…

Typically not a fan of this type of watch but deary me that is nice… 

[Onairda]

It reminds me of the omega speedmaster.  I like it.

My new 2nd hand Marathon tsar i got of the bay. The steel band is especially nice.

[orlylow]

can't decide if a NATO strap or a leather strap(brown?) would look better on this…

[Chris]

I'd go with the brown leather on that one.  NATO wouldn't look right, in my opinion.

Love that tsar, by the way, mvb.  Thought about getting one in the past, but they're just such tall watches and I have a tendency to bang mine against things.

Thanks Chris, up till now it's been ok, cant wear it with some dress shirts with a tight cuff though. Fortunately don't have to wear those a lot.

I would prefer a leather one on that omega as well orly
