Wearing thousands of dollars around your wrist is a great way to help poor people become less poor. Watches are easier to steal than many many other expensive things. ---

> [@DarkkstaR](#): > > shame about that rolex. completely disrespects the entire history of the brand in my opinion. exactly. Today I’m working on a 2 tone GMT from 2006 1/2. Now this is a nice watch. Has the updated 3186 movement in it. Definitely one of my favorite watches to overhaul. ---

> [@tpgsr](#): > > Todays chronoshark deal. Too blingy? Is the accutron a lower end bulova? I think it looks ok in the picture, just worried about it looking ridic. For work Accoridng to wiki: > On January 10th 2008 Citizen bought the Bulova Watch Company. Together they are the world’s largest watchmaker. > Currently Bulova designs, manufactures, and markets several different brands, including: the signature “Bulova”, the affordable “Caravelle”, the dressy/formal Swiss-made “Wittnauer Swiss”, and the sportier Swiss-made “Accutron”. As for today’s watch it has a Sapphire Crystal which is a plus. But it has Quartz movement and 40mm is not a “big” watch unless you have a small wrist. I am not a fan of the diamonds look, but it is not a bad deal if you are looking for a watch like that. ---

I am usually not a huge fan of Tag’s but this retro watch is pretty cool: > The re-release will be available with a brown or blue face with coordinating perforated alligator leather strap, and bears the classic Heuer logo before TAG took over. Only 1,500 examples of the re-issue will be released, with a price tag of approximately $6,500 apiece.
