Found an independent watch shop to put a more secure but less “pretty” type in all spots for $20. They don’t all sit super flush but they will never come loose. ---

I have a few watches I want to sell below… Sorry for the horrible pics; if there’s real interest I’ll get some better ones. This one was a gift from an ex-gf. The watch is essentially brand new. Wore it maybe 3 times, other times it stayed in it’s case, where it is today. It’s not a baller watch at all but it looks nice: Armani Exchange AX5002 ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/A1.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/A1.jpg) here is a stock photo: ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/ax.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/ax.jpg) Sells new for $185.00 + tax. I want $100.00. Next up is my TAG Heuer Automatic 2000. I’m undecided if i want to move this purely because of sentimental value. It is authentic, still have the box and manuals, links, etc. It has normal wear on it but no scratches. ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/TAG1.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/TAG1.jpg) ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/TAG2.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/TAG2.jpg) stock photo: ![http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/tag.jpg](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/TurboLS1ss/tag.jpg) Sells new for $1,095.00 + tax. I want $700.00. Once again, i know these aren’t baller watches like some of you have. I’m not a big watch person. I’m testing the waters and the prices are what I’m willing to let them go at. Thanks. ---

i like that you’re buying off the forum. get the acrylic crystal on that Omega changed, it will pop it back to life in a big way and it’s not expensive to have done. the tissot is great for when you knock your arm into a concrete wall, scratch your watch and then think… whatever, just a tissot. 🙂 i mean that in as good a way as i can though. ---

So i emailed the owner of [**Harmony House**](http://www.harmonyjewellers.ca/watches/cid/38/1/plist%7C1%7Cshortby%7Caz%7Cpage%7C1) in Grimsby about an IWC i’m looking for and if his web inventory is up to date. He responds: > Hello Bing > Sorry no 5001 right now > New watches coming and going all the time not all make it to the web so please do stop in, best to call or email before you come to make sure I am here. > I am off to a watch show in NY this weekend and will have new merchandise towards the end of next week. Sam, Beck, anyone else cool and into watches… wanna roll in there next wednesday? i have a few buddies that will want to go too.
