i was actually looking at a Citizen in Gulf City, they wanted around $2400 if i remember correctly...http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-BJ8075-58 ... B009G6XLXW
not a bad price, all things considered.
i went home and looked it up, that lead to other eco drives, and then military styled watches...nixon definitely has that section well covered...they make some nice watches and some ugly ones as well...that leather band with the white face is a nice look...i like that...

at some point i think i'll get a uboat...a left hook or flightdeck....i just dont like the fact that the crown is on the left side :|

They actually quit comfortable, just don't wear them on your right hand,mines mess with my wrist when I do cause of the crown and crown guard being so huge

My project. It's over 35 years old. The movement is working properly - repaired by Kallies in Trinicity but I need to change the crystal and some other stuff.

Hoss that's a top of the line watch.

It's Rolex sister watch. Tudor

Don't let locals do any repairs on that they will screw it up . Get it serviced by Rolex, pay the extra money to maintain its class.

Thanks. Kallies was the only person in Trinidad that could fix a Rolex. Back in the boom days there was a company here that use to distribute them and he was somehow associated with them.

I had to real search to find him but that was real years ago.

Apple Watch Sport Gold. Smart watches aren't for everyone but I'm liking this so far. Alot more useful than the Pebble I had. What also makes it interesting is being able to switch looks up easily by swapping bands. Whole lot of aftermarket bands available.

Save ur money then kill three birds with one stone. Go a lil short holiday (St martin ect) and buy a watch in duty free or what ever airport you fly out of. You will get duty free prices, plus wear it on your hand when coming through customs, thereby you avoid paying Trin customs . Same with gold ect.

So for money spent you get Holiday + duty free+ no trin customs

I did and know of other guys that brought in some really high costing watches, like over $30k tt.


I kno we not debating price...but St Martin duty free watches cheaper than forin?
