Updated Style Marcello C Nettuno 3 For Sale On eBay: Auction Ends Nov-20-07 01:10:27 PST
I love when Marcello C watches show up on eBay, it is such a rare treat, and an opportunity to own a truly satisfying watch. The Marcello C Nettuno 3 is uncommon watch as it is relatively inexpensive but enjoys a very high level of quality. The only other watch to compare it to is the Rolex Submariner. Each have the same features, and arguably, the Marcello C Nettuno is more comfortable on the wrist. I have a Marcello C Nettuno 3, actually two of them. They are perfect watches for everyday wear, that are stylish, and very handsome.This Nettuno 3 is very special because it is a special edition style watch. It has been outfitted with "sword" hands, and special hour indicators. The custom indicators and hands serve to give the watch a more aggressive and bold look. Sword hands on diver's watches such as this are commonly used to increase visibility underwater and at night. The larger hands tend to be more conspicuous in such environments. Further, the special rectangular hour indicators

What's your latest conquest?
Here's mine. Had it about 3 months now and so far I love it. Now I have one sports and one dress style watch. I started out all Rolex and ended up all Omega. How did that happen?

Hawaii trip and watches
Been away from the forums for a bit to get unplugged (if there is such a thing) for a family vacation to Hawaii. Truly enjoyed Hawaii and got to visit Oahu and Maui. Truly beautiful place with stunning scenery everywhere and amazing beaches, which kept me away from the internet for the most part, but of course I had to try and check out some watches while I was there Very happy that I was able to check out some models that aren't available where I live, and the places I visited was more than friendly.So I thought I'd share some of my photos and hope you enjoy. Majority of content is Patek so decided to post it in this sub-forum, but mods, please feel free to move the thread if there is somewhere more appropriate.I was jet lagged when I arrived so what better way to start off the trip than to head out to the beach at dawn?I decided to go with my trusty G-Shock for this trip and it definitely survived everything I threw at it We hiked up Diamond Head and was rewarded with a great view

Rolex YM RG 116655 40mm Could drop to 14k-15k??? This year???
So as we all know PM's tend to drop in value over time. With that being said the YM RG 116655, is still selling for a high value compared to retail. Would you think the pre-owned prices would be coming down within the next year or two? I believe the 116655 could go to ~15k because #1 it's a strap and more popular models Daytona's/Sub's have decreased MORE over time then where the YM is currently at.If history holds to the YM RG 116655��.the price COULD drop to 14k-15k����.Let me know what you have witnessed over time of PM's and their price trends.

How's this for crown orientation?
It's never made sense to me why people think the crown facing up towards 3 o'clock when viewed from the side is correct.The crown facing up towards 12 makes more sense.Picture taken from the official Rolex instagram.Disclaimer: crown orientation does not matter and I don't care at all. Would be nice if they lined up, and I think one day they all will, but it's not an issue.
