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

My son has a watch he likes. I'll ask him what it is and post a link here.
 
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

And enjoy the wonderful background stories (entirely fictional of course) about some of the watches.

is this salvos located in a wealthy area? im waiting for you to pull a rolex for $10 lol

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 " ;)
