Not a bad choice that one.

I have been thinking about a new Omega Seamaster pretty seriously... the question is can I make myself wait for xmas?

Those cost close to 50K do they not??

I am pretty sure that is a one-off watch. Sold @ auction for around $60k us if I remember correctly.

Maybe a similar monaco? Or did you buy it???? lol

Not really an aficionado but I was looking for a cheap 20 atm watch to go on vacation with (I loose watches like I loose hair) and was wondering about some suggestions? My current thought is to go with the Casio MDV-160.

Seiko Pepsi's are automatic and has better value IMO:

Nice pickups, I am jealous of the Rolex Gerald, still wanting one but with nearly a year now without a paycheque it will still be a while before I can make a large purchase.

Here is some GMT info to help with using multi-timezone pieces. http://www.larrybiggs.net/mirror/gmt/gmt24.htm

I got my new strap from B&R ended up coming overnight from France via Fedex, a week after placing the order, no charges or anything. They included the strap in a nice velvety pouch, a lanyard and some paper work for receipts and returns, a nice setup for a fairly cheap order and I would definitely buy direct again from them, now I will find the time to switch out the straps myself.

Nice scores James! I think Tudor is back in the US now or soon, but not sure on Canada.

I believe Tudors have always been available in Canada. They are available at Brinkhaus here in Calgary. You're correct that they have just re-entered the US market recently.

Heres my vintage Tudor Submariner circa '65 or '66 that my father gave me which he has owned since new. Also recently picked up a Rolex Submariner.
