I wear an Omega Speedmaster pretty much every day. It's the watch that went into space with our astronauts and to the moon on every trip. I can't have a cell phone where I work and every time I look at it's a reminder of great things that can be accomplished if we envision a future and work towards it. I wore this one for 350+ of my carrier landings and at least 1500 of my 2400 Prowler hours .We'll see what I do in retirement but pretty sure it won't involve a cell phone. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/IMG_1136_zpsgtq75kfn.jpg) Please get a decent strap for that Speedmaster. It's a crime to have that thing on it. I have several NATO straps and like them and periodically swap it out for the stainless one. Variety and all that. This is the bond strap from Specter and I have one from Goldfinger.

I can make my LG smartwatch look like a Rolex today, an Omega tomorrow, a Breitling the next.... a Seiko, a Tag Heuer, or a Casio or Timex too. Even keeps pretty good time!

The really great fakes of Rolex though, will use something like an IWC movement-which many upscale watches also use. Fakes don't use an IWC calibre, its more like IWC use the same swiss ETA movement as the higher priced Rolex fakes. (typically the ETA 2824) or a quality swiss generic version of 2824 like a Sellita SW200....which are the trusted engine inside many famous name automatic watches across a broad range of prices.(Tag Huer use SW200 extensively) Rolex owned Tudor use the ETA 2824 , as do Brietling, Mont Blanc, Hublot, etc...and a long host of other trusted names. Omega use the ETA 2892....the Soprod A-10 caliber found in some watches, is just another swiss version of 2928. Fakes with automatic movements will use either a genuine swiss ETA, Japanese Miyota or chinese Seagull or an even cheaper chinese calibre. like the ETA 2824, the Valjoux 7750, is another swiss movement used by many well know watch brands for their more complicated chronograph models....again the same swiss 7750 is used in better quality Rolex Daytona fakes, or theres fakes with cheaper asian chrono mech.movements.

What else could you buy 20 years ago for 2500 dollars.... Wear everyday... And sell it today and sell it for 5000.... Not much... But I can with my Rolex.... I had a friend buy a orange hand Rolex in the late 80's... For $800.... Sold it for $6000 last year
The worst thing ever to happen to cops is the personal video recorder... Now people can see the truth

I bought a Submariner in 1979 for $760.00 ( have the receipt )...still get compliments when I wear it. Also have a silver and gold Datejust that the wife wears when we go to dinner (looks great on her!!) and a blue face Presidential with a jubilee band. I am way on the plus side with all three if I ever wanted to sell them. I'm with Sako ,buy them smart and NEVER lose $$$.

What else could you buy 20 years ago for 2500 dollars.... Wear everyday... And sell it today and sell it for 5000....Not much... A diamond. ...and a diamond doesn't require the designated periodical serving costs of a Rolex over a 20 yr period, which can be a number of times and vary in cost, depending on which Rolex one has and what environment they wear it in. World market price 1.0 carat white round brilliant: proportions = ideal color = D clarity = IF Cut grade = Ex, Polish = Ex, symmetry = Ex fluorescence = none yr2000 = $15,100. yr2016 = $30,925.

The above in certainly true but I don't wear diamonds and they don't tell time.....Many things we enjoy need service or need to be maintained in one way or another... I'm happy to pay the tariff but certainly understand why some would not.
