Lets see I am a watch junkie, I have 1 Omega 2 Seikos and 2 Corvettes

I believe the company that made that watch pictured is Taxor.

There are some great deals on Ebay I got a nice C6 watch with a black face to match my car.

I couldn't wear it.. I collect watches and I have acquired a certain taste for them and I'm a bit picky.

I have the same watch, purchased about 7 months ago...80 bucks or so plus shipping... I really like the watch, but being an old guy with questionable eyesight, the silver hands on silver face make it difficult to read sometimes. Another issue is that it came without any instructions, so I had to guess at how to set/reset it...still guessing on blue dials...
Although I really like the watch, my request for an instruction sheet went un-answered. Not sure I could recommend it for that reason...

Thanks

This watch looks great...
Remeeber that Times watches can still be bought for under $40 and last forever....so I wouldn't be concerned about the quality... it already has its share of Corvette tax...

Default Cool watch

I've had mine for over a week. Yes, it is a little heavy and large but I have had good coments from those that have seen it. It is no larger or heaver than my Submariner. To say the least, I like it as well as my Rolex. The price was $89.95 from a formun dealer (RPI) in Ohio. With shipping it was under $95.00. For those with C6's I recomend this watch very highly. Oh yes it is not cheep, and keeps great time.

The watch looks great and I am not sure why someone thinks a watch for $106.00 can not be any good. I have several watches in all price ranges and other than the price I paid for them they all seem to perform the same they display the correct time!! If you like the watch go for it.

I like it. I guess we have it good when we dismiss a watch costing more than 100 bucks as "cheap" and "not made well."

I have 4, and they are all different. Each has a special appeal.

Me too. I seem to have acquired a thing for collecting watches. Can't have too many or too many different kinds!
