Gentlemen - thats my dilemma, too! If u look at the AD prices and then get a deal - fine, but I would be on the hunt for something "gently pre-owned" and waaaaaay under retail off-market and probably through the clubs and watch-related sites. Steve, Pax, Ken, O and Skip - your "incomings" on 3T here fan the flames of desire for a lot of WISs - your thoughts and comments on particular watches and on the industry in general are pretty spot on and always helpful to read - cos even if you had just bought something and then found that you hate it or you genuinely thought it was a dud - I think you would tell us! It has been a long time since I bought anything from an AD - I prefer these days to deal with people I know (or know of) and with the manufacturers themselves (Ocean7, ORSA). I am darned sure that if I stump up for a decent new(ish) Omega over 42mm, it won't come from ebay or from an AD. But then again - my mythical $1500 would be spent twice over, wouldn't it...  Maybe thats the point - at $1500 there are some great watches available for up to maybe $1000 that we see as worth putting the money into - and above that a huge gap to some more exotic stuff that we have to save a little longer for? Hmmm - sounds to me like not too many grails (Kenzo, Marinemaster and Swiss aside) are at about the $1500 mark - no? ;) Thanks gents! IanMhand6.gif

Also besides the forums for good deal there are a few other places to keep watch. LOL Island Watch from our great friend Marc of course and I keep my eye on these about once a week to. Now and then a real good deal pops it's head up. ;) http://watchseller.com/index.html http://www.bernardwatch.com http://www.azfinetime.com

I wish I had a budget of 1500! I'd have to sell a bunch though. If I had it I would be looking for a pre-owned Marine Master for sure :) Cheers, Griff

Well...I basically was in this price range :D. I'm going for a 300m MarineMaster SBDX001. Fit/finish is far above it's price range, and yes, frankly it's worth the money above the Sumo (which I had, and only would sell to get the MM). It is a good question to see what others would get.

I don't have any automatics over $1000 (yet!), but if I were to spend around $1500 I would get a german watch. Limes, Stowa, Sinn, Nomos et al. all have watches in that range that I like. I've already decided that my next watch will be a Stowa Antea 365 which will be incoming this fall (gotta love a larger than expected bonus from your employer).
