    Thought I would put this out their. I have most sport models in stock including the new Blue/Black Gmt. Authorized Dealer with papers in your name with full warranty.

    Looking to ad more pinballs to the arcade: Mainly looking for Stern Le's, Cactus Canyon, BBB, Arabian Nights, Scared Stiff, TZ, and maybe a few others, Also looking for mint examples of Gottlieb System 3's

    #4 9 years ago

    A buddy bought one of those from a street vendor in Ocho Rios, Jamaica (Mon) a week ago for $35.00 It may have been the "Wrist Green" model though.

    #8 9 years ago

    Curious how this works out as I have a nice ladies Omega Seamaster and have wondered if it was tradeable for a pin for quite some time.

    I've been wanting to trade one of my rolex's for a pin for a long time, just a challenge. My watches are used though, OP may have better luck...being an authorized dealer will help his cause too I'm sure.

    Pizza, pinball machines, watches, and wardrobe consulting, you are all over the place.

    I wonder why Bene asked to have his account frozen?

    #17 9 years ago

    in before another lock

    Still got 18 months before being an official failure...

    #19 9 years ago
    Quoted from Concretehardt:

    Likely so he can create a different account to wipe his slate clean.

    #20 9 years ago

    Authorized dealer? Just like he was an authorized Stern dealer, etc. Rolex lists all their authorized dealers, I doubt he's on the list.

    And I just noticed the other thread is now locked, etc. Oops.

    #21 9 years ago
    Quoted from DCFAN:

    I thought when you have an account frozen, they do a full IP ban to prevent a new/duplicate account?

    #22 9 years ago
    Quoted from Whysnow:

    I don't think that applys when you request the freeze (see last post made by Robin)

    I really like nice watches, and would definitely be interested in trading for a Rolex Submariner or a Omega Seamaster, but only if the trade value of the watch was at liquid value (not retail, a price that the watch could be sold quickly).

    #24 9 years ago

    I've got a nice Rolex Daytona that says I won the 1994 Rolex 24 Hour on the back if anyone is interested, came from what I believe was an authorised dealer in a market in Cambodia. Or if Omegas are more your thing, I can fix you up with a nice Constellation from a reputable watch kiosk on a corner in Hanoi.

    I stayed at the Hanoi Hilton once.

    #26 9 years ago

    Was John McCain there at the time?

    #27 9 years ago

    He already had left.

    #28 9 years ago

    Lock it up!

    Watches are for hamsters so they know when to get on the wheel.

    Even though I wear a watch, That is an outstanding line!

    #32 9 years ago

    I will not wear any jewerly at all period. Not even a rolex... Why take a chance on scratching your 10k machine.

    #33 9 years ago

    Ill definitely take you up on that offer, here is my watch, how about sending a BBB my way? lol...

    I never could justify buying a Rolex.

    The Asian knock-offs always looked better than the originals.

    #35 9 years ago
    Quoted from Magic_Mike:

    I don't own a Rolex but that's just a silly statement right there.

    They are not my favorite "style" but Rolex's are very well built with quality "in-house" automatic movements.

    They use 904L steel. Try and fine one other watch maker that does. They also make their own gold and platinum. Each watch takes about 1 year (on average) to make from start to finish.

    So while they are not my favorite I still respect the quality and materials used to make them....they have a pretty good history also.

    #36 9 years ago

    Do you really still wear a watch? Most people use their phone to find out the time.

    BBB for sale - not accepting trades on Rolex's.

    #37 9 years ago

    I like watches. I'm more of an Omega guy than Rolex, little less flashy for my tastes, but I wouldn't turn down a Daytona if someone wants to give me one.

    I appreciate them the say way I appreciate pins really. Mechanical watches are a bit of an anachronism in a digital world the same way pins are in the age of flashy video games.

    There are bargains the in the mechanical watch world too, you don't have to spend Rolex money to get a nice piece. But I treat spending money on a watch the same way I do on a pin. People who don't "get it" will give you a look when you told them how much you spent, but we know that the personal satisfaction and enjoyment is worth it.

    There's no avoiding the stigma that comes with them, they're bling too, and they come with certain baggage. So does my car, but I drive it because I really enjoy it, not to show off. And in Southern California no one gives you a second look in a BMW anyways, they're like Honda Accords down here.

    #38 9 years ago
    Quoted from badbilly27:

    Every day. I put it on first thing in the morning when I get my glasses and get dressed. Feels funny to not have the weight on my wrist. Sure, I have my phone on me pretty much all the time too, but I enjoy wearing a watch.

    I treat that question that same way I do people saying "they still make pinballs?" Hell yeah!

    Until the parts start falling off.

    Quoted from badbilly27:

    Yes I do.....every day. And you know what....it's WAY easier to glance at my watch and get the time (even with my hands full) then to pull out my phone and have to push a button. Especially in a meeting.

    #41 9 years ago

    still rocking my timex. great watch with all the functionality I want.

    I save my $$$ for pins

    #42 9 years ago

    I still need the feel of a watch on. Honestly its more jewelry than necessity. I have some Rolexs but my favorite is my Breitling.
    lots of good watch forums to resell on that are better than trading for a pin though .image.jpgimage.jpg

    #43 9 years ago

    I get watches are more like jewelry. Don't get me wrong, I own a watch as well. I only wear it for business meetings to dress up the suit. I rarely ever check the time with it though.

    Curious many still do. I also get that it's easy to get used to the weight on your wrist too.

    I once strapped a Timex to the beer can on my FG to prove Timex can take a flippin' an keep on tickin'.

    I still have this Timex believe it or not.

    #46 9 years ago

    I love timex watches. I had a triathlon until the band broke. It was a great watch, but, unfortunately, the band could not be replaced. After that I got a timex expedition. I'm on my third set of batteries and bands. It has chromo w/ lap timer, timer, and three alarms. I use all three to wake up each morning.

    #47 9 years ago

    I still have a submariner but I much prefer my Audemars piguets. To me a watch is a mans only form of jewelry.

    That is the same watch I rock. Great value and great size also.

    I think I am also on my third band and battery.
    I don't think I will ever be able to trade it for a pinball, well maybe for a single ball...

    #49 9 years ago

    I'd like to get a Rolex Submariner but until my student loans are paid my Seiko's will have to do....

    That's great. Here is the decision process. Could buy a new Expedition for $35 or get a new band and battery for about $13. The last band I got is leather so hopefully it'll last longer.
