Marcello C Rising: Watching The Growth Of This Impressive German Watch Maker
Marcello C is going places quickly. The growing German watch maker came out of the mind of an ex Oris master watch maker 15 years ago. Just when the mechanical watch was making a comeback, Marcello C started hammering out extremely high quality watches for unheard of low prices. At that time, the philosophy was simple; do not reinvent the wheel. Marcello C is not a design innovator, and it does not need to be. Marcello C excels at taking handsome, classic designs and making very good watches based on them. The most distinctive quality of a Marcello C watch is that the watch is built better, and functions with more accuracy that most watches costing twice their price.This direction has allowed Marcello C to take a lead role as one of the fastest growing small watch companies. Saving money on not having to test designs, they focus on quality. Let others make the mistakes and produce what the consumer clearly wants. Perusing the Marcello C collection, you will see all familiar faces. The

New member with a 2254.50
Picked up this beauty a few weeks ago as a birthday present to myself. I have been looking around for a while for an Omega and this particular model caught my eye especially with all the talk about it on this forum. I stroll into my local AD to window shop a little and what do I see! BNIB and waiting for a new home. Apparently someone ordered it couldn't wait for it to show up and bought something else. Walked out with it 10 minutes later. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. Sorry all I have are crappy cell phone pics:Getting along with a friend's Rolex:

Invicta Question
So, I've recently been bitten by the Rolex bug - but with my unemployed college graduate salary, (big $$, lemme tell ya) this may surprise you - but it's pretty unrealistic that I will be able to afford one in the near future Maybe I'll land a job with Exxon or some ridiculous company with my Chemical Engineering degree and get paid like 80k with a nice bonus as an entry level engineer, but I don't see that happening soon, lol.Sooooo, annnnnyways - back to the main topic! I like the look of the Rolex, but can't afford one. This led me to look at the Invicta diver line.I'm just curious as to the quality of this watch. I like the way it looks Are there any other watches with this design for a similar budget? (I also do not like the Invicta scuba helmets on the bracelet as a fyi!)

Just got a new Panerai "homage" watch, not too bad!
I no longer have this watch. "jpv" bumped this 3 1/2 month old thread below on 2/23.Marsss25 now has it.This company doesn't bill their watches as Panerai, and doesn't even mention that word on their site, but it's clear who they've mimicked their style after. There are other watches available that have text on the face "Marina Militare" or something like that that really look like Panerai.Came in the mail about an hour ago. Total time: 19 days roughly from Hong Kong.Pretty impressed so far. This thing is built very nice for a "homage" watch. The band is very nice and comfortable, very pliable and soft. Up until this point 44mm was the biggest watch I have, this is 47mm and I think it looks way too big on my wrist. Hopefully it will "grow" on me. The ticking sound is louder than what I'm used to. I don't mind, but others might.It's a wind up watch. This is also my first screw down crown watch. Seemed weird the first time to unscrew the crown to adjust the time, but I got the hang of it

Avenger Blackbird Boutique Edition of 100
I have an opportunity to buy an Avenger Blackbird Boutique edition, number 43 of 100. My question is, how do these things hold their value being such a limited run?I actually do not care as I love the watch but my wife cares hence the question.
