Watches - another OCD problem
-
BTW, are you a flipper or a keeper?
Keeper for the most part, though I'm going to sell a few I've had for 2-5 years. I've only bought one in the last couple of years. At this point I really only want to buy stuff I'll keep until I die or give to my son. My want list is pretty short: Submariner & a Stowa (probably a Marine). Staying off of watch forums helps me not buy anything.
I'll post pics of my other ish as I wear them.
If I feel like flipping then I can just snag some G-Shocks for less $.
re: Lum Tec
They used the Slavas on their earlier models, not sure why. Maybe keep costs down? You can probably do a Watchuseek search and find more info. The dude behind LT used to make custom Panerai-y thingies (forget the term that rip-offs ;)) then moved on to his own watches. Very happy with my LT.

Homage, there we go.
Nameness, I wish you hadn't posted that Lum Tec! I've been all over the European website this evening trying to justify buying one. If I didn't already have a Dagaz Tsunami on pre-order, I might have broken down and done it already.

This is the one that keeps popping up to the top of my wish list. I may eventually break down and sell off a few to finance a purchase.

At the time it was the most I'd spent on a watch. Had a short bout of buyer's remorse. Now I wear it the most. They're not too bad used.
Yeah, it would be the priciest one for me, too. Thankfully the absurd price inflation of new Omegas hasn't trickled down to the secondhand market. I could probably clear enough funds for a used one by selling just 3 or 4 of my less worn watches. I could sell everything and still not have enough for a new one. Luckily, it's a classic that sells well year after year and hasn't had many noticeable changes since its inception. Unless you want to geek out about movements, bracelet components, typefaces and such…
