Baselworld 2013: Swatch Sistem51- Only 100 Swiss Francs for a Mechanical Watch!
Today sees the launch of the Swatch Sistem51 and the fire burns bright once more.Swatch watches were one of the guilty pleasures of my youth. When the Swatch craze took over the world in the early 90's, I was there in the thick of it. I remember going to Swatch boutiques looking for the "Bora Bora", the headline watch of the Scuba 200 series, and even starting a collection of the Swatch quartz chronographs when they first came out. Then, when the Midge Ure song "Breathe" came out, I was singing along like no tomorrow, making sure that I had a carefully selected Swatch on my wrist when it happened.There was something very cool about the attitude that Swatch embodied, and as a young boy whose only other option was a Casio or Seiko, everything by Swatch was instantly?elevated?to something special.?Of course, I grew up and Swatch was resolutely forgotten in?favor?of more sober watches in more traditional?colors.

New to Omega, Looking at the Planet Ocean
I cant stop thinking about it, figured it would be better if I had one on my wrist, so I'm 99% sure that the PO will be my next watch. Looking to pick it up in the next few months, and I have read several reviews of the watch online, and have seen overall very positive feedback.What should I expect to pay for used?Obviously condition is a factor, but say for Brand New in Box, or Mint, to Slightly Used and so on.Thanks for your helpMattEDIT: I have done some research and found prices anywhere from 2200 used up to like 3600 for Brand New out of the store, Im looking I guess to make sure those are fair prices, what I would expect to pay at an AD (cause the nearest Omega dealer is over an hour away) vs what I could expect to pay here for slightly used.

One doubt about PAM 005
The PAM 005 have COSC certificate?Thanks.Sam

Finally purchased a Submariner 116610LN at a great price
I've been looking for a Submariner 116610LN for about a month already but all the local AD's are out of stock. Almost bought one from a seller here at TRF but hesitated because of the price being close to retail. I've been looking everywhere for a good deal, then suddenly I saw a posting on Craigslist listed for $6500, it was bought in 2017, with box, no warranty card just a photocopy of a receipt and the card from AD priced at $8750. I texted the seller and asked what his best price was, $5700 he said. I quickly left work that morning and went straight to the bank. On my way to the seller he texted me and said he just got another offer for asking price of $6500. I told him that I have cash in hand, will not resell the watch and almost there. He said he way going to honor his deal with me. So, I met the guy at his office, inspected the watch and bought it with out the warranty card. The seller said he'll contact the AD and see if they can track the original warranty card and possibly
