Oris Diver 44mm

Greetings from my 2252.50
Greetings to all Omega lovers! I recently joined up over at the Hamilton forum but thought that I would join you all as well despite owning only one Omega. It is the mid-size SMP, 2252.50. A b-day gift from my wife three years ago. I LOVE this watch and it gets alot of wrist time. As much as I enjoy my Hamiltons, this piece is truly the bees-knees. Some day I hope to get the mid-size AT with silver face. Still need to convince the Mrs. on that, however

A 2.5 year review of the Baume and Mercier Capeland S Chronograph 8502
In early 2011, I received a pre loved Baume and Mercier Capeland S 8402 from my Uncle Rob. The watch had been worn no more than 2 times, was immaculate, and came with a all boxes, papers and links to the bracelet. For years this had been my grail watch.

There always had to be some practical reason. I certainly couldn't rationalize buying it at the retail price. That being said, the specs on it and workmanship seemed comparable to anything f

Teaser - Deal? Or No Big Deal?
Yesterday, I saw a watch with what I am 70% sure was an inaccurate listing, with a BIN price that would be an absolutely screaming deal if I'm right.I dithered. I checked listings for watches that seem to be the same model, and they matched right down to the lug shape. I checked the seller's feedback. I considered whether, if I was wrong, was it a BAD deal. I dithered some more.All this took roughly 3 minutes. Then I hit the button.Now all I can do is wait to see whether I got my best deal ever, or simply paid a reasonable price for a watch.Keep watching this space!
