The auto tissot has a very cheap chronograph movement. I think maybe the quartz bulova but i find quartz very very hard to sell and the dropoff from new would be around 40 to 50 percent? straight away.

commented on Jomashop a good market place? ·

I just wanted to add my experiences. I found that if the item was in stock and ready to ship then theres no problem. I did however buy a Hamilton Murph that was listed as " ready in 3 weeks" and it never showed up after 4 months. The thing is your credit card is not actually charged until it arrives to jomashop but your credit card does have the amount pending .....for 4 months in my case until I managed to email and cancel. This held me up from getting a watch to wear as i couldnt buy from anywhere else because of the pending purchase at jomashop.

 For jomashop it was a win win situation because I was locked into a sale on the off-chance that they could procure a Hamilton Murph from somewhere and then sell it to me.

Yes, but you will need a beater to do the garden, and a lil partying watch, and then.......

Yes they do make knives too. and other stuff. Mind you so does Cartier and Bulgari and Hemes. 

commented on Is this gap acceptable?! ·

I never would have thought a white/silver dialed Tissot luxury powermatic would look soo good with a blue nato strap!  You are the man!

Oh, I personally dont like the bracelet gap.
