I wouldn’t be paying anywhere close to MSRP for a quartz watch. It’s basically a slightly more upscale Fossil. ---

New, 50% off through a friend in the retail biz. I’m not committed to it, but it was really appealing when brought up. At the same time, throwing another $400 at a ‘nice’ quartz watch, no matter how much retail is, seems stupid to me in a sense. You boys think I should save up some more and wait for a big boy piece? ---

Get a big boy piece Paul, You wont regret it! There is nothing like a fine Swiss time piece. Its a nice treat to yourself. Every time I look down my wrist and see my omega on it I cant help but smile. Even though it wasn’t cheap, It was worth it compared to anything else I was looking at. If you buy a cheaper designer quartz watch, you’re going to find in not much time that you’re looking for something more and you’d of wasted money on a quartz watch with no resale. Even something like the Oris below would be a great first Swiss piece then when you want to bump up, you’ll most likely get what you paid or close to it back when you sell the oris.

I was just doing some research on spotting “fake” Rolex. The link you posted shows imprint in the case cover. It was mentioned very few models have this imprinting. What say you? ---
