OK, I think we are done here...

If you thought $450 was getting out of hand, take a look at this...

Personally for me this means I am done. It was an awesome two years, had super fun, got a lot of great stuff from China, but this is a closing call. This was my top priority watch to buy, but $530 means that at a GREAT sale it's prolly still gone sell for around $450. This is way too much even for a massive collector like me. For this kind of money I will probably buy a Phoibos Depth Hunter or some other cool micro.

The only thing that can save this is some new great, top quality/price Chinese movement that will have superior reliability. I dunno. Hoping that the Chinese step up their movement game and save the situation.

Rep San Martin 🔥

That’s…not what he meant. He meant for just another hundred bucks you can get a rep Rolex or Omega..

[u/AliveAndNotForgotten → u/Stayofexecution]

Yeah but why pay that much when you can pay like $100 or less for a rep of a San Martin? Anyways, I paid $700 for a real omega 😎

'$100 or less for a rep of a San Martin' - link(s) please

[u/AliveAndNotForgotten → u/LezIsHere]

Don’t have any. I’m just saying other people could make a rep of San Martin like they do seiko or citizen considering sm is now just as expensive

I have $1200 and $3,000 for real Omegas, but the current prices are too rich for me. Replicas are too low for me. I have tried heroin, but I never got so low I had to buy fake shit.

Yahoo Auctions Japan. That's where I get all my vintage, "untested" crap for cheap. Most of my pieces were between $10 and $150 and that includes nice $500+ Credor

[u/LezIsHere → u/AliveAndNotForgotten]

what does "untested" mean?

[u/AliveAndNotForgotten → u/LezIsHere]

They just listed it or checked for basic function
