Bumped this to tell a funny and sad story. I appreciate sites like this, because it has people from different backgrounds to put you up on game about things you don't get to discuss normally. I just got back from a quick 3 day cruise, and it was sad and funny seeing guys (black, white, etc.) buying watches for more than they were worth. You know how do they on those boats on the last night with their watch sales! Truth be told, that may have been me about 7 or 8 years ago. I saw a dude buy an Invicta Diver's watch, that was identical to mine, for 225.00. I paid 97.00 for that same watch 3 years ago. Later on, I found them for about 80 or so, but hey, live and learn. While I was watching these guys buy watches and walk away with their yellow Invicta bags, I thought to myself: "Don't think anyone from the board who participates or lurks in those watch threads would've done that." On the cool side, I did stop a brother from overpaying for a Sturhling. They're great watches (I own 2), but he can find better prices on Amazon.
