Ok well I am going to be in ruff buff all weekend but the following week or weekend sometime I can shoot down to the store and talk to the manager. I doubt they will do $1,500 but I will make the offer. Problem is that they typically stay just above the unauthorized retailers. ---

Are there any watches similar to the Navitimer? Looking for something with a black or white face. I really like Breitling’s, but wanted to see if there are any other options. ![http://www.wristwatchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/125e_anniversaire.jpg](http://www.wristwatchreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/125e_anniversaire.jpg) ---

you can get Poljot russian automatics that look exactly like navitimers… go ebay… they are like $300… not massively accurate but still interesting watches and have the same depreciating value characteristics of good watches. i just bought my 7750 day date Oris XXL Chronograph… 44mm actual pic: ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Other/Watches/oris%20demo%20pics.JPG](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Other/Watches/oris%20demo%20pics.JPG) i am going to mod it immediately… i’m thinking red for the register and chrono second hands… or blue for everything… what say you? ---

FUS… need an emoticon specifically for telling you off… even though JLC doesnt really do it for me… alot of the hyper expensive stuff is sorta ‘too much’ and not with reference to dollars. ---

ok, I figured this would probably be the best place to ask since it seems people about higher end watches anyway… I have a Baume & Mercier watch that I got for a gift a while back and I think I may have worn it once or twice in the past 7 or 8 years. I know they normally go for upwards of $1200 atleast from what I’ve found. my question is… what would be the best way to find out the actual value of this particular watch and selling it for around that much? the only thing I could think of is the obvious option of going to a jeweler and getting it appraised, but I don’t care much for watches or any jewelry for that matter so I don’t really know what stores would be best for this or if anywhere locally sells them. ---
