    How much is a quality mechanical watch?
    (I know they probably have a wide price range - what is it?)

    Brands to stay away from?

    The Seiko Divers/Scuba watch is cheap and reliable
    The older they are the more collectable they are

    You are not wrong there. A real awesome selection. And reasonable price too. Should have not clicked the link. My paypal account's going to have a work out. I hope they offer Pay after Delivery so the missus does not see me raiding the account.

    Cheers,

    LD

    St.kilda , no the Chrono did not come from the Salvo's
    Paid $100 for the Citizen Chrono from a pawnbroker
    With the Salvo's ,iv'e figured out the wealthy area's shops are more expansive :rolleyes:
    Salvo stores are also run by the "Velvet Mafia " ;)
