IWC Aquatimer Chronograph IW378203 Black Rubber Strap 44mm Watch

Its all the Fault of this Forum
As I posted on other threads I bought my first Omega a little over a week ago. An Omega Seamaster Pro, purchased new at an AD. Then I keep reading about the Speedmaster on this forum. While looking for the Seamaster I had stopped in at Dallas Gold and Silver and they had two used Speedmaster that were priced reasonably. I kept thinking about those two, went back today and made an offer on one that appears like new, except has no box or papers, etc. They guarantee authenticity and even give a two year in store warranty. Needless to say they accepted my final offer and I am wearing it as I am typing this. Can anyone tell me the model number going by the pic? What crystal, works, etc?

Curious about authenticity of Hamilton Watch
I have yet to come across a clear cut answer on if the watch i possess is a legit Hamilton watch. The watch is in the shape of a Hamilton Ventura Electric watch. What i find surprising is that a majority of the watches in this particular model have a black colored dial. The watch i own has a cream colored dial background with golden arms. Also i cannot find anywhere that says it is gold, however it does say plaque g10 which i believe means it is gold plated. The watch says Base Metal Bezel, Stainless steel back, water resistant, Registered edition, and 6250a on the back side. Does this information sound legit to anyone? Maybe a bit fishy? Figured I would ask considering I am new to dealing with watches and don't really know what to look for.Thank everyone for their help in advance, and if anyone has any further questions, id be happy to answer them about this watch.

Did I just ruin watches for myself (plus help needed)?
I'm already looking for a particular watch to dream about and save and build for. I don't really need to save for a watch in this range, but I have no reason to buy anything (yet) because the Breitling doesn't leave my wrist (still).The type of watch I'm looking for should look best with a black strap (non NATO or ZULU) bracelet would be fine standard, but I'd like to have a strap too. I'm looking in the range of $600 to $1200. Things that I'm looking for.1. Swiss Made auto or Swiss Made manual wind (either is find, I might prefer manual)2. Guilloche (my favorite) or sub seconds3. I like a "reserve de marche" complication so I can see how much "juice" is left4. If the watch has an exhibition case back I'd like a decorated (preferably non-unitas) movement.5. Chronometer preferred but is unlikely at this price point so it is not necessary.6. I would only like White, Silver, or a Black dial that would look nice with a dress shirt.7. I'd like a brand that I can recognize and carries some r

Thinking of trading BLNR for Elephant or 26400SO
Hey all, I am looking for opinions on this swap. I have a NIB BLNR and am thinking of swapping it for one of the above. I had planned to just add one of the above but also have a HULK which kind of fills my SS Rolex.Only thing is I can not seem to find a 44mm ROO locally to try on so I would be taking a big leap on that one. Downside to the Elephant is the SS bezel. I have OCD issues, so the thought of that getting scratched up makes me nervous to go that route. :)I was originally wanting to go with a 15300 or 15202 but I think I would like something a bit more bold.Any thoughts?ThanksD
