Casio Raises The Bar Again With Tough Recalibrating Radio Controlled Movement Using LED Precision System
Never say that there is something wrong with the watches coming from Japan. There may be a ton of them, lots of them may be ugly or forgettable, but most of today's useful watch innovation is coming from the land of the rising sun, not Europe. While the Swiss and Germans are focused on perfecting the past, the Japanese are hard at work figuring out the next way to not only improve, but lower the cost of technically superior watches.While the Japanese cannot beat the Europeans when it comes to style, grace, and refinement, they do beat them when it comes to innovation. And trust me, the European watch makers are always taking a close look at what new things are coming out of Japan, even if it does not appear as such. For instance, Casio was one of the first to use DLC (diamond like carbon) coating on their MR-G line of watches. The ultra hard shiny compound found its way on super rugged Casio watches. A few years later, some of the most expensive of Swiss watch brands are proudly displa

Market Value For Navitimer II?
Hey all.Looking at a 10 year old full steel Navitimer II. Both boxes, all papers including warranty. Leather deployment strap. Never serviced. I haven't been able to find comparables on eBay completed auctions.Seller wants $3000, I offered $2000. Considering Breitling service is $550 plus tax, and the current leather strap is stained, and has loose stitching, I'm looking at another $300 for a new strap. Is my offer too low? Seller thinks so, but factoring in servicing, and new leather I think it's a fair offer.Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Upgrade or Wait For Grail?
I have a 3710 Comet, which I enjoy wearing daily. I am a huge fan of the Nautilus line. Coincidentally my appreciation of the different models corresponds to their prices: I love my Comet, but I like the 5712 better, and the 5726 better than that, and the 5980 best of all.My watch fund grows slowly. I have the value in the 3710 plus cash to buy a 5712, but not enough for my 5980 grail piece. Here's my question: Suppose the 5980 is your grail, and you currently have a 3710 (or 5711), and you like all the Nautilus models as I noted above. Do you trade up the line as you save? Or just wait (like years) to buy the grail and skip the models in between? Presume the loss (if any) from selling the current watch is not a factor.What Would U Do?

Best resale
I see a lot of panerai watches for sale here and while most list for under retail even if BNIB I know there are some that appreciate. Aside from the bronzos, which PAMs have typically held their value or go up?
