Being a watch enthusiast, I refuse to spend big $$$ for a watch anymore. Saw a 42mm Bulova Winton classic [ made in Japan with Chinese bracelet ] and I really liked what I saw. Finish is superb for an automatic 21 jewel 60hr reserve watch that is available from Amazon as low as $583 dollars cdn. My trusty Tissot T-Touch is ready to die of old age and want to replace it with a mechanical movement automatic. What is your experience with Bulova?

My only concern is the new movement, don't see ball bearings in the rotor. The movement is Myota 83SO.
However, Myota [ Citizen ] claims using AO oil and grease that suppose to last 20 yrs.

I like Bulova as a brand, and has great history, my dad's daily is a Bulova, so I definitely support the idea of people owning one. As you said, it all comes down to the movement, and the Myota 83SO appears to be a hacking movement, many of there's aren't, so that is a good thing. The power reserve is decent, but just an FYI its beat rate is reduce to help get it that 60 hour reserve, just like how Tissot and Hamilton do with theirs.

I don't see any red flags. Funny you mention Tissot, I have been considering getting one of their PRX models recently for a good all 'rounder.

I am not the expert at buying used watches, but every chrono24 post I see are dream prices for the seller, so I don't know if the game is to offer low and see where you end up. I like watchuseek to get a better idea as it crawls various forums websites looking for listings, and those sites seem to be where more realistic numbers are posted. With the current state of things, prices should be coming down weekly. There are some brick and mortar places I know of in Orange County, besides Bob's Watches, if you are in this area as well, and as someone that has bought 3 Omegas in the past year, you can save a bit buying new, 20% off list or close to it usually, and if bought out of state with some places, you can avoid paying sales tax. Sometimes the combo of these two make a new a better deal than used.

Hell yeah,
The Mudmaster. For those uninitiated, the MudMaster is the Schiada 21RC of Gshocks .

I am still waiting for my perfect 2100 series CasiOak. I have a metal case one now, but I want full metal like the new ones, with the bluetooth and solar module, BUT, they need to be sensible again and have high contrast hands and indices so its actually legible if I am dropping that kind of coin on a Casio .

Pronstar, as soon as you wear this tactical as fuck Gshock, you can pretend to be anything from Jack Ryan to a SWAT Team leader, choose wisely

 

[pronstar]

Funny thing about G Shocks, is they appeal to everyone, regardless of the size (or lack thereof) of your bank account.

Well... Not everyone.

Not at all to say I dislike them but I can say they don't appeal to me. I totally think there is a place for them and lots do like them for good reason. I'm just not one.

Found this used Tissot classic I like, but not for 2K. I'd buy a Longines before the Tissot. Prices are definitely up on nice vintage watches.

Ps; I still can't find out if that Bulova automatic I posted have ball bearing rotor or not. I called some reputable dealers who sells Bulova, but most stores are out of the Bulova 96A207 models, sold out at Chtistmas, to take a look at the back looking at the rotor for me.
It looks to me that the rotor is running in a jewel rather than BB.

Trying to help a buddy out…
Very close friend of mine is looking for an Explorer ref 226750. Doesn’t want to pay over MSRP and is still seeing used sell for more.

He has no relationship with any dealer.
With the market softening, do y’all think he’s got a shot at finding one at a dealer (and what dealer if so)

I have not had any luck finding AD's to be interested in me on Rolex still. The explorer is a better shot, but I still think he will need to get on a list and wait, maybe get lucky. Only realistic shots within a couple of months these days are smaller datejusts and maybe a Milgauss. When I asked about an Explorer II, they said that would be no different than a Batman in terms of wait time and scarcity.

Yeah, sorry. Don't see anything changing anytime soon.

So no luck finding this one, wasnt really wanting to spend 2 to 3k either.

Saw these at a Swatch store, cool Moonwatch collaboration.
They’re under $300 and quartz, but I’d prolly have rocked one or several back in the day...they look fun!

If any were in stock you could have made some money for your time, I am not into flipping at all, but these are still really hard to come by, you can double your money overnight. In the beginning it was stupid, but still a secondary market on them. I want one just because, but they are making it difficult by not selling them online, trying to drive foot traffic into the store.

Wow, I had no idea.
The guy at the store made it sound like they had them in stock…I’ll have to go back and check.

I've been looking for a Rolex GMT Master II for a while. I'd love to buy a new one at MSRP from an AD, but that's just not happening anytime soon. I called my cousin who is a baller and has a watch collection asking him for his Rolex hookup, his guy wanted double MSRP. But my cousin said he had a 2013 GMT he would sell me at a great price since he doesn't wear the watch anymore since he bought his Skydweller, and was barely worn. So, I met him last week and bought his GMT Master II. Yeah, it needs a new crystal and a service. But overall it's in great shape. I'm gonna take the watch the Rolex service center in L.A. Pretty excited. It will probably cost me $1500 for everything but it should look new when it's done. I wore the watch last night at the Oscars, it was a good match with my Tux... Next, I'd really like to buy an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, love the bracelet on that watch and I think it's a great deal for about 7k.

Let me know if you go for the Moonwatch, I have a good "strategy" and AD for Omega, I have bought 3 over past two years, the Moonwatch I think is my next Omega.

I am in the same boat of the GMT Master II, I want a Pepsi, however, we know getting one at MSRP is pretty much impossible, and grey market are still too close to double for me to pull the trigger. Let's see how this year goes.

BTW, new Tudor Black Bay with red bezel looks nice so far from watches and wonders. Nothing Rolex did is cool nor interesting, hoping to see if JLC or anyone else had something of interest release this week.

Guess I should have done a little more homework on this one, It's a bit too small for me at 44mm, I need my watches in the 47 to 50mm size to fit my large wrist and not look like a toy.

That's nuts! That really limits the brands you can look to. I don't think any of the brands I wear make anything that large except for Rolex that just came out with a 50mm recently.
