New from a grey dealer around 70-75ish.. probably a bit less from a private party. I am just starting the search so I'll get back to you with further details.

 

Craigger- personally, I like the AT with the "yacht deck" dial...

 

This watch feels really small and I was uninspired by the piece on. I hate to say this but it felt cheap.

 

Did you try the 41.5mm or the 38.5mm? Either way, I saw one at my AD and thought it looked nice. Didn't try it on though because I am not too into bracelet watches. If I had to get a bracelet watch, I would probably go with a simply black-faced RO @ 39mm.

 

Both uninspiring
I normally like Omegas as well.

 

Omega is one brand I have yet to own... Don't know why.

 

IWC vs JLC seems to be the big thing for me this past month and for the upcoming year, learning more about their history and lines and makes. think i have the iwc down to:

Portuguese 7 days, ss, black dial


Portuguese Yacht Club chronograph, i have no idea how anyone can choose between white/black


more inclined towards non-chrono in all my searches, need to figure that one out before the elimination starts.
the Pilot series is heartbreaking because i made the mistake of trying on the middle east perpetual perhaps a year ago; and the new top gun perpetual does not help soothe

 

Do like the Seven Days...... ;-)

Not so much the Yacht Club!

 

If I could swing it I'd definitely get an IWC. I've been looking at that 7 days SS. Love it.

 

I've got two. I love them both.
There's no real loyalty, but I like the image Omega projects in general.
I like the cal.8500 movement that one comes with, but the blue indices of the 2503.33 is something else. Plus it goes well on bracelet, strap or NATO.
You're scared you might keep something more than 6 months

thanks for the help guys

I've found a decent deal on the MasterDiver locally, and we'll see if we can come to an agreement.
