No matter how you screw, they're still dead lah.

no, they are really unique, when u screw, its hands start to move, some got blood stain on it, some got names craved on it, some got the state they came from...Boston, California, LA, Pittsburg etc etc...hmmm..if can find their relatives or loveones, can sell back to them at a high price. Me go sell at ebay

Whoa Nelly. Enter the price tag and a phone somewhere might ring. That's as close to full provenance as I've seen for a Panny.

Gedanken SG

You want to find their relatives on Ebay?

Last time i went to shanghai hor, on the street, they sell rolex oyster ladies watch for only abt 10 Sing dollars, so cheap, and it look real, so i brought it.

Then I went with friends to Shanghai noon disco...then after dancing, someone asked me what kind of watch am i wearing, i felt it was time to show off my new watch, but to my surprise, only the shell of the watch was left behind, the hands and all the mechanism had all dropped off and spread all over the dance floor..OMG, !!! i pour drink into the empty shell and sip the drink...damn, all my frens laughed until vomit.

OOh yeah. Nothing like a little controversy to play merry hell with prices. Can you imagine how much Che Guevara's GMT would go for?

So it was the laughing that made them vomit?

So I went to buy the rado watch today, called rado florence, for $820. But first, I'll show you my other watches. One a swatch and another a guess.

And now, the watch I just bought a few hours ago. However, it does not run automatic. It runs on battery. I just found out after I bought the watch. Will this affect its value as an investment? Anyhow I like the watch, but I wished it was automatic.

Sorry I used flash for the camera so you cant see the gold parts easily.

The 2nd line from outside is gold in colour.

as long as you like the watch and enjoy wearing it who cares!

Gedanken SG

I agree with av - if you like it, that's all that matters.

As a rule of thumb, a collector's piece is likely to have:

1) an unusual complication
2) an unusual design
3) some manufacturing quirk or
4) a serious rep for manufacturing quality

Unfortunately, the Rado really doesn't tick any of those boxes, so I'd be hesitant about looking at it as an investment piece - that might just stop your enjoyment of the watch.

me no watch....

I see watches as man jewellery and nothing more.

but that's exactly why I need more than one

and if you still want a watch with an automatic movement, Seiko and Citizen make some really nice models for under $500.

angel7030 SG
