BULOVA Men's Marine Star Automatic Two Tone
Style: 98A106

http://www.worldofwatches.com/cust/dailydealsteal.asp?d=0

Saw this earlier today... not for everyone, I don't typically like gold on watches even the two-tone Rolexes but I like this one for some reason. I love the dial and exhibition case back revealing the gold color auto Myota signed mvt for $99. The gold is kept to a minimum even on the bracelet and ties in nicely with the gold part of the mvt visible throught the 'skeleton widow' in the dial.

I think 3T member Devin had one of these or something similar up for some time. Nice price and not a bad look but this guy doesn't do two-tone.:shock:

This is 2 great watches! You'll make me drool with the worlddiver(Only if it's the blue model:D Hahaha)
What is your price range for next month?
Seriously, as you been shooting on divers lately, you could consider a more dressy watch of nice quality and unbeatable price!:

Mark you have a good memory! I bought it on a JTV deal of the day/week/monthsubtlelaugh.gif and i think if you do a search on elite deal seeker you will see that it is for sale again from the seller i sold it to.
here is a photo of a watch i never missed!

I think it looks good actually, why do you say you sold it and never missed t? Anything specific that was bad or wrong with it? Or it just didn't do it for you. I think yours had a better color combo.

yeap two great watches from two favorite boutique brands with great customer service. I am very excited and very blessed to get these two beauties. As it the worldiver color, I hesitated a long
time as I liked things in both models... Forgot which I ended up going with goofy
I checked that linky and LOVE that Tissot, nice dressy watch with a cool mvt. I may need to hit Oscar up with a PM on that one!
I love divers but been wanting a nice Pilot too or a nice sub maybe. My range will depend on
my feb15th paycheck which I'll know Thursday:) Feb 15 is when bonuses are paid for us and I will spend a small portion on a new toy for me, most likely a watch, the rest goes
to debt and a vacation. Conservatively, I would say range will be 500-2000, if paid what I should maybe 3000.
I do have a dress watch, an auto Baume Et Mercier Hampton Milies. I don't have a Rolex nor a nice Rolex homage like a Steinhart, don't have a Pam or nice homage. Always wanted a new Auto Breitling.... A cool looking 42-45mm avaiator maybe... Also don't have an Omega except for my gd pa's old chrono that isnot in working condition:(
So Many outthere.:)

Hey Brice,
no it was a great watch but i just never wore it much. I have way too many watches and when i saw a "want to buy" ad i just let it go for what i paid that was around $130 if i recall, no other reason! It sounds like you have some incoming that will be way more enjoyable!woohoo.gif

Hey Brice you have a good eye. The Tissot O has up came from me to McWright and then to O if I remember correctly. I can tell you it was a sweet and good looking Swiss timepiece. You would do well to grab it imho.:D

Brice.....don't like 2 tone watches??? Hmmmm....seems to me you are not yet in your 40s. toon1.gif I also remember pics you posted of yourself and maybe you may not be anywhere close to 40subtlelaugh.gif

But when you get there, you'll have this gentle, daily twitch that gets stronger and stronger and then one day, this twitch will overpower your arm arm and then out flies the wallet and pop goes the 2 tone watch purchase. Happened to me many years ago, amigo. Don't fight it..........it will cometoon1.gif

Jeff, I'm in my 40's and I don't see two-tone coming to me anytime soon unless something changes when you hit 60!!subtlelaugh.gif

well you're right and off a little at the same time, I am not 40 as you guessed but I am not far. I will be 38 April 5th (but 25 at heart:) ) and we have 5 girls. I am glad you didn't say I looked 40+ on my pics;) my wife will be 42 this year and everyone thinks she is the youngen:)
That being said, I don't hate two-tones and some though rarely speak to me and I could wear them though I would not spend a lot of $ on them.
My dad's got that 6000+Euros Rolex that is a blue-gold two-tone and as great of a watch as it maybe I could never spend that much $ on a two-tone. Too flashy most of the time and just not my taste but
never say never, you could be right and my tastes could change later on. I can't say for sure that I truly dislike black and gold together. Blue and gold I might do. I do have one two-tone but it is subtle in contrast and it looks dressy for a pro diver. But it is a <$100 Invicta watch which I surprisinly fell for.

Pax. I really dig that Tissot and would be a great addition as I only have one true dress watch and it is a rectangular expensive B&M. This would be a great altenative. Why did you get rid of it? The darn flip disease?;)

I hear you Mark I'm in my 40's too, early 40's, and I agree the two-tone just doesn't do it... Maybe your eyes need to go first so the colors blend together...subtlelaugh.gif
