Seiko Silver Dial Stainless Steel Ladies Watch SXDE35

Fair price for a new P.O.?
The tag says $4150, the dealer will sell for $3100. Good deal? This IS at an AD.The galleria said almost $3800 and wouldn't budge

New Sub. 16613, and some reflection (long post)...
Okay, let me just preface this by saying two things. First of all, I apologize in advance for the very lengthy post, but I have some reflection to do, and I hope that you all will appreciate the unique analysis of my latest purchase, with respects to the way that it made me feel psycologically. Secondly...this little watch hobby of mine is all the fault of Mr. John Holbrook! The Rolex Reference page got me started on it, and regardless of the fact that I'm finding out that this is a rather expensive hobby...I really don't care anymore. Never before have I had such a hobby or interest that has brought me the personal satisfaction as owning these lovely watches. I have everyone here to thank for this being such an enjoyable hobby, but I have John to thank for pretty much single handedly getting me started into the watch collecting world! I appreciate it, my friend! So here's how it goesbefore I started with my very first (the Sea-Dweller), I knew for sure that one day I'd have me

New SMP price. What would u pay?
So I was at an AD recently looking at a SMP Moonwatch. As we are speaking he throws out a seemingly attractive number that I don't remember hearing from any AD before. So at a retail of 5250, I'm wondering what would you guys actually pay for this watch BNIB from a US AD????

Service: Reserve times...Omega Moon...Val 72... Rolex...Others
I track the reserve times of my watches.To tell when they need service.But reserve times can be tracked on all watchesI posted the reserve times on three Omegas movements,I own: 1861 & 1866 & 550 for reference.I also have a rare Doxa (1962?), with a Val 72.Posted bellow: are the reserve some of the reserve times.I plan to send the Val 72 to Dalton Toledo, In LA..Los Angeles, California.Not lower Alabama.To have it serviced, soon.I think the Pivots on the balance are wornThere is a problem.Should be about 42-43 hours ?PM me if you want Dalton's info.I would like to know what reserve times people observe on their speedys.This may help people who are not sure when to service a watch.If the reserve times are consistent.No service is indicated.When they are low, or dropping.This shows a problem, or service is needed.Omega, Rolex and others.posts the reserve times; for reference.No two watches will be the same, in real life.And it will very, by temperature.Thank you for your time and

Aftermarket parts
How frowned upon is it to use aftermarket parts on a Rolex. I purchased a used Datejust 16014 from a jeweler with a 10 day return option. This being my first Rolex ever, I tried to do all the research possible, but it can still be overwhelming. After the purchase I took the watch to my local AD, which was one of the worst experiences I have had for a long time. He basically told me to get my junk used watch out of the store, and to come back when I am ready to be a real man & buy new. What I did find out after getting the watch is that the Bezel and dial have been replaced with aftermarket parts. The bracelet is also aftermarket, but the clasp is original. The movement appears to be the correct one and not aftermarket. The diamonds are supposedly real, but I have not been able to verify this yet. After finding all this out, would this be something worth keeping? Yes I know that is subjective and I don't want to speak about value in a monetary way, but by having custom work done doe
