Watches - another OCD problem
-
I love buying on the used market, but some watch freaks get really twitchy about their precious timepiece having someone else's scratches on it. Personally, I don't have an issue with a couple of scratches on something I'm going to beat up anyway, especially if I can get an extra 20-40% off the price for new.
You said it… My Weil goes for 5-700 € here (that is if you can find the ltd. dial)... Bought (as) new for under 300 $...

Any recommendations for second hand watch shopping in New York?

I'd go with the brown leather on that one. NATO wouldn't look right, in my opinion.
Love that tsar, by the way, mvb. Thought about getting one in the past, but they're just such tall watches and I have a tendency to bang mine against things.
