If someone is selling a Tudor Black Bay or something like that for $200, then I'm totally fine with used. Otherwise I think I prefer new, but not categorically against used. This won't be happening anytime soon, though, as I just ordered my first pair of Allen Edmonds and I'm a little, as they say... strapped. =)

This one has incredible sentimental value - it was a wedding gift from my wife.

Originally posted by DocDave View PostNice watch and it's great to have a timepiece with sentimentality attached to it. My fiancee was asking me about watches and if she purchased one for me, if I'd wear it daily or just slot the watch in to a rotation with my other timepieces. So I thought I'd ask here. Do you wear your Rolex daily due to the sentimentality of it (and the fact it is a nice watch) or do you wear other watches too?
Great question.
It's part of a rotation and my wife doesn't get upset about it. I think she only gets upset when I wear my Panerai because she finds it gaudy (and she's got a point so I might get rid of it).
I think she's just happy to see I don't buy watches and shelf them.

Originally posted by JayS View PostYeah, I think I should hold out for an SKX. They do seem to be an important rite of passage for any aspiring WIS. Can you speak at all to the quality of the bracelet (if you have one). I've heard lower-end Seiko's come with pretty lousy bracelets. Recommend a good buy/sell board? Thanks for the input!

This is the style that I got, it's not really an oyster or jubilee, but something in-between:
