Over the last three weeks, I have been in the process of moving from Washington D.C. to San Francisco. Although Ive been very busy with housing, hotels, commuting, working, and coordinating my relocation, Im never too busy to do a little watch shopping.I picked up a Tissot T-Touch primarily for the compass function to help me get oriented in the city. Ive been to San Francisco dozens of times, but Ive Replica Omega 2225.80 Seamaster Watch always taken cabs, so now Im having to adjust to finding my own way. I have a terrible sense of direction, but fortunately, the T-Touch has a pretty good one. I wrote a very thorough review of the Tissot T-Touch a few months ago, but I wasnt able to keep the watch I reviewed, so I ordered a new one with a black rubber strap.
I typically go for watches with stainless steel or titanium bracelets, but the black rubber strap and the black dial of the T-Touch make a great combination.I stayed in a hotel right on Union Square (the historic Westin St. Francis, for those of you familiar with the area) for about a week while I waited for my household goods to arrive, and I found a little watch store nearby that had a Seiko Sportura SLQ017 in the window. Replica Omega 4175.76 De Ville Prestige Watch The SLQ017 is a limited edition Kinetic chronograph which is one of the most unusual and striking chronographs Ive ever seen. Seiko only made 1,500 of them, and only 400 of those made their way to the US, so I was thrilled to come across one in person. I visited the SLQ017 a few times during my stay on Union Square, tried it on a few times, and even started negotiating on the price, but in the end, in the spirit of trying to control moving costs, I ended up not buying it.
I hope I dont regret it, but I probably will.I found a Tourneau watch store in a mall on Market Street that had a decent selection of Rolexes, among other brands. In the used watch case was an 8-year-old white-dial Rolex Daytona for almost $14,000. I learned that the movements in the older Daytonas were actually made by the Swiss Replica Omega 2908.50.82 Planet Ocean Watch watchmaker Zenith which surprised me because Rolex is known fortheir own movements (the newer Daytonas have Rolex movements). It was an extremely beautiful watch, though overpriced. New Daytonas go for about $7,000, but they are in such high demand that when retailers are not bound by Rolexs pricing policies (as in the case of used watches), they often cant help but partake in a little price gouging.
