This guys watches are very popular. He modifies them to look like Rolexs which I don't think i like particularly. I bought a couple from him a few years a go before he got in to the modifying..The rule used to be don't spend more than a week's earning on a watch. Seems like sensible advice on many discretionary purchases.
I just put a bid in on a 1967 Seiko. What can I say, I won't pay more than a day's earnings.
