Incoming! First Royal Oak!
...unfortunately, not a Royal Oak for myself! When I first met my gf (back in 2007/8), I noticed she only had a Swatch, and wanted to get her a more 'proper' watch, so to speak. No better way than to start it off with a Seiko...Two years ago, for her birthday, I bought her something which made her really happy!But earlier this week, I think this one put a really, really, really big smile on her face Now, I'd been looking for a Lady Royal Oak for the longest time ever, and finally found one from a AD in the US. Unfortunately, the watch had some imperfections and I requested it be sent back to AP for some rectification. After a two month wait, I finally heard that AP didn't have the necessary parts, and the AD was not able to provide me with an estimate timeline when I would be able to finally purchase the watch.This one is a quartz, and an interim one, but I can tell she's happy nevertheless. Now, it is time for me to start saving up for a 15300...

Planet Ocean first impressions
So I just received a new 2201.51 with 2500D movement. It feels a bit smaller than my ExpII 42mm. It wears more like a 40mm to me. Love the case shape and proportions. The new 8500 PO felt too thick for a 42mm. I'm a sucker for matte dials as it just looks more classy too me. The orange numbers pop off this dial. My only complaint would be the bracelet. Not really impressed with this one. The newer Rolex bracelets just feel and fit better than this one. Even the older rolex bracelets fit perfect with the micro-adjustments. I may just order an isofrane to go with this one. As for the 2500D, I guess time will tell how durable and reliable it will be. Overall, a great value at it's street price.

1995 Seamaster caliber 1680
I have a Seamaster caliber 1680 superquartz, serial number 55797613 with a 1501/823 bracelet. White face, date, 120m. My brother is the original owner, I have the original box, manuals, and warranty card. The watch is in good condition, I replaced the battery today. Does anyone have any idea what this watch is worth today. Thanks for your time.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
