Buying New Watches - Blu-ray Forum

allstar780 · 09-16-2008, 08:22 PM

I'm interested in a few new watches (my bulova has been out of work since I cracked the crystal and decided to let it RIP) and I was wondering if anyone knows a good site to get watches from brands like Bulova, Android, Seiko, Citizen, etc.

Incase you're wondering (and can't figure out where I live based on the fact that I live in Alberta) the site needs to ship to Canada

I did find this site Kenmar Watches and was also wondering if anyone has experience with them... if nobody can provide a good review I'll likely buy from somewhere else

Dude, I think you need to specify where you are first. I can tell you of stores selling watches but I somehow doubt it's interesting for you to come all the way to Brussels for watches

allstar780 · 09-16-2008, 08:31 PM

well I did say i was looking for a good site to buy them from... if i found a watch I really liked and could only ship it from belgium, then by all means I would ship it from belgium! lol... but alas I see your point

If you want a cool watch, if you can find it since it's discontinued, get the Frank Gehry Positive Negative watch. I want that watch bad.

You cracked your Bulova's crystal?! Those things are damn near impossible to crack, mine's been through hell for 2 and a half years and there's nary a scratch on mine...I forget the model, but it's this one:

Compared to my Seiko, which actually shows scratches.

I've always bought them from Macy's, and not because my mother works there and hooks me up with her 25% employee discount,

What are you looking for? Gold? Silver? Diamond accents? Casual? Being a minority I actually have my own jeweler as well. lol.

allstar780 · 09-16-2008, 08:54 PM

well i dropped it a dozen times on hard tile floor and nothing... the one day at work I smacked it off a corner on the counter and a little chip fell out of the glass... then eventually it became a bit of a crack and I figured it was time to retire it... it was this one... only with a stainless case with gold accents, not all gold

I got my Citizen Eco-Drive from ECost.com. Great prices, got a $500 watch that never needs a battery for about $180.

I am very open minded about what I like in a watch, so I'm not shopping for any particular features... just one that kinda jumps out at me

only reason I want to buy online is cuz some of the local jewellers are scam artists and the 2 i do trust never have anything I like in stock and ordering from a catalog is about the same as ordering online

a watch is more than about telling the time

and my cellphone doesnt look too professional when I pull it out at work to check the time, at which point i usually have text messages and my phone simply displays how many messages i have instead of the time

m_tyson · 09-17-2008, 03:18 PM

I haven't worn a watch since 1998. Whoa, that's 10 years now.

I have a bunch of watches, and it's more like a piece of jewelry than a clock. There are clocks everywhere, watches in this day and age are really not necessary.

Come on you don't want one of these?

m_tyson · 09-17-2008, 03:33 PM

I do have Pateks, Rolexes, and a Bulova. They are just collecting dust in a drawer.

Try Invicia, it's all I've worn for years now. Great looks, price, and quality is just outstanding.

allstar780 · 09-17-2008, 09:16 PM

so can anyone answer my question of where to buy? i don't really need recommendations of brands or styles as I have browsed at local shops quite a bit... please read my Original Post before replying as I'm looking for reputable online stores

Beta Man · 04-17-2009, 07:15 AM

I have two Rolex's one is a sub, one is an 18k vintage with pres. band that I never wear (don't like gold..... too flashy)

If I were in the market for a watch (sub is a daily wear..... EVERY DAY) I'd probably look into Baume and Mercier..... Great watches... and many different styles.

jkwest · 04-17-2009, 03:22 PM

thats my watch...I love it.
