2011 E350 Cabriolet..White and Almond Mocha
I traded a Gold/Stainless Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust with Jubilee Bracelet which I purchased in 1989 or so. I traded for the Brietling which listed for (I think) $3270? The invoice shows the body at $2300 and the band at $400 so the total was $2700 + tax. No cash involved.

That is a picture I shot of my actual watch showing the mesh bracelet....I did not purchase the rubber bracelet.

That SuperOcean is sweet especially on the mesh. I got to try one at a watch collectors meet a few weeks ago. I'm thinking of the brown dial myself.

I also wanted the Bronze color but when I saw it next to the blue on my wrist, I chose the blue.

I got Tissot PRC 200, I am new to watches.
Is it safe to buy watches online? I was looking at www.thewatchery.com and www.prestigetime.com at some Omega and Longines pieces, but I am not sure, if they selling original watches, since they got low prices, like 20-30 % bellow normal price.
Can you guys recommend some reliable web store? I realy do not want to spend 2000-3000 dollars on fake :-)

Ashford.com is reliable they have been around a long time. Most of the on-line dealers are selling grey market watches. This means an AD is overstocked or has to high a qouta on a specific model. He can't move them even on sale so he makes a deal with an on-line dealer who has a broader customer base and he can get rid of the excess inventory. Down side is no manufacturer warrenty it is given instead by the seller also sometimes the serial numbers are removed so the manufacturer can't trace the AD that sold it. Most if not all manufacturers won't touch a watch with no serial number, some even confiscate them as stolen goods.

BTW, sorry for stupid question, but what is AD?

No problem guys. AD=Authorized dealer.
If you are in the market for used (some new) higher end pieces I've had great dealings with this site.
