Nice choice. Where did you purchase it from?
I'm aiming to purchase a submariner yellow gold by end of next year.
local dealer in Melbourne.

My current.
A minimalist version would be amazing.

Looking at getting my first automatic swiss watch, I cannot decide between a diver and a dress watch but have narrowed each category down to the following

$1500 delivered from US - Grey Market with no manufacturers warranty
http://www.chrono24.com.au/oris/aquis-date-73376764154mb--id3878654.htm
$1700 delivered from Australian supplier with official ORIS 2 year warranty
Leaning towards the Baume & Mercier as it is an excellent deal, not concerned with authenticity as I have researched enough to be comfortable Jomashop are only selling authentic watches.
Has anyone used them? Are Baume & Mercier likely to fault in the warranty period?

I don't know enough about Baume & Mercier and grey market imports to comment but the watch definitely looks the better of the two. Also the link you've posted says that it comes with a two year warranty?
I purchased my second G Shock watch on Boxing Day a year and a bit after buying my first. The face on this one is much larger (watch was $30 more expensive, yet when on sale it was much cheaper than the first watch lol), the band actually looks cheap and tacky though, like it will wear out after a while.

that's stylish
Because it's so much more convenient to take your phone out of your pocket, press a button, look at the time, press the button again then put it back in your pocket. And I guess you just wear tracksuits 24/7, they're perfectly functional, why bother wearing something that looks good when your Kmart trackies cover your skin in the same way as a nice pair of jeans?
Too hot for trackies in Qld but I can see that an extra few seconds taken to tell the time would be a hardship
Speaking of ships I also have an 8 bells ship clock so I dont even need to look
I just glanced at the time at the bottom of my screen it might be time to watch something other than a watch.

Walked past a jewellery store today that had a display of ten Edox watches in the window, fell in love with 6 of them. Get home look up the prices, yeah may have to go back to looking for a Seiko Flightmaster.
Hadn't heard of that brand before. I really dig this one, if only I could justify dropping $1k on a watch...
Yeah that's a beauty, really nice. That was $2200 in this store I'm talking about, Wishart jewellers on Jetty Rd if you get down that way they have a nice collection. I also didn't know about them before today.
Yeah I dunno where I got $1k from, because it goes for about $2100 on ebay. $2200 in an Adelaide shop is a pretty decent price, normally our retailers cant come close to the online/overseas prices.
Yeah the $2200 was actually for a black rubber band that one is $2600.
