Picked this watch up for US$25 as a temp business casual watch. So far the automatic design has held up well and the aesthetics of it are brilliant for the price point.

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

http://www.jomashop.com/baume-mercier-watch-m0a08731.html
$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?

Got a G Shock for Christmas, like the aesthetics of it just think its a bit to big for me.

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.

I bought this one last May in Singapore, a Seiko SKX009. Other than when I'm at work and wearing my Seiko 7T92, this one hardly leaves my wrist. I now have another 3 nice watches gathering dust because I just want to wear this one all the time.

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.
