Invicta Akula Chronograph Grey and Gold Dial Grey Polyurethane Men's Watch 0637

Ever seen or passed up a steal?
Well within a month of my acquiring my " Grail " 3573.50, I came across a well-known collector selling his newly-refurbished 1971 Speedy Pro. He couldn't sell it and eventually dropped the price to an unheard-of sum of $1100.That's eleven hundred dollars!!! Now if the gentleman had waited two months, he would easily have picked up a further three to four hundred for this very handsome watch. Later in the year, the watch would have fetched $1800 on that place by the sea let alone in sales corners. There is a reasonably familiar name on again, that place by the sea offering a later late-70s model for nearly $3600 in the past month or so. Naturally I wouldn't buy from said seller as Rick knows since I think their prices are inflated beyond belief. But I do wish I had the spare readies to have opted for the never to be seen again recently-refurbished bargain offer of that 1971. Even paying the import tax this end wouldn't have dented the desirable nature of the bargain that it was.How abou

What Breitling
I am a new on the Breitling part of the forum. I would like to buy a Breitling watch. As to the mechanical chronograph I prefer something from Chtronomat series. If I want a quartz mvt is it wise to chose Aerospace? What is your point of view???

Aqua Terra or SMP??
Hello,Im seriously considering selling the Aqua Terra 2500 i have, the white dial i have ordered is has taken a long time to arrive, and honestly, im starting the hate the way this watch looks. Its a dress watch, which looks wrong with jeans or sportswear.In my opinion, a watch has to be recognized when worn on one's wrist, and the Aqua Terra is constantly mistaken for a Rolex Datejust, something which gets on my nerve Almost a knockoff of that.However, I think that the SMP is a 'true' Omega model that cannot be mistaken for non-other, especially the blue Bond version 2221.80.00.If I sell my AT 2500 co-axial, i can only afford to get the Blue SMP used, and in quartz.Would an SMP be worth more with regards to 'pedigree' and more a an omega than the Aqua Terra? I would really be grateful to any opinion that can help me decide.BTW, Im a 'one watch' type of guy.
