Anyone order watches from a online authorized distributor that keeps warranty?
I don’t mind buying direct, but gotta check my options..

Love watches but not into high end ones, rather buy a pinball.
Picked this one up for 200 on eBay it was like brand new with tags and originally retailed for 895 so very happy
I bought two other ones that had to be returned before I finally got one that matched the description. Buying watches can be extremely annoying on there. Third time is a charm.
Amazing watch for the price it's accuracy is unparralled

My Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow has arrived! Not a watch for everyone but I really like it (thanks Bitcoin).
It tracks the moon phase in real-time. Accuracy is within 24hrs every 128 years (if the watch were kept wound). I even love the outer date wheel which is even more visible at night...very cool.

Quoted from Astropin:The one that started the whole thread...the Speedmaster Professional. This week marks the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Tuesday was the launch and tomorrow was the landing. Geez...50 years and we haven't been back...crazy.

The first moon landing as you know was in 1969. There were a handful of lunar landing missions after that with the last one being in 1972. At any rate, I agree with you that it has been a long time since we sent someone to the moon. 
I'm not a watch collector, but I have owned and worn this skeleton watch for the past 30 years. I have no real knowledge of brand or anything, but was always facinated by the mechanisms within it. It has always been reliable and kept good time (except when forgetting to wind it 
).
It was gifted to me by my older sister, she brought it back with her from the UK where she was working as a nanny.

Where did you purchase it that accepted Bitcoin?
Quoted from Jgel:Where did you purchase it that accepted Bitcoin?
I understood it as he made earnings from Bitcoin, and used his investment profit to purchase.
I could be wrong.
Quoted from Meegis:I understood it as he made earnings from Bitcoin, and used his investment profit to purchase.
I could be wrong.
Now that I read it again I think you might be right.

You got it. Bought some at 4 and it went to 12 so I sold a little and bought the watch.

Newest Acquisition: Certina DS PH200M
I really like the look on this one. It's also a really nice "bang for your buck" automatic diver and I have a thing for divers. 80hr power reserve is also a fun feature. This one is a reissue of their 1967 diver of the same name (and look). Some people don't like that it has a hesalite crystal vs sapphire...but honestly, I LOVE the look it gives this watch. It measures 43.5mm but I think it actually wears a little smaller. Probably can't tell in the posted picture but it does fit my 6.5" wrist. Came in a very nice hardshell case and included two straps...the one pictures (tan suede leather) and a striped black Nato. Overall I'm extremely impressed with the total package for the price.

I'm a fan of hesalite crystals; they give a watch a nice vintage look.
Love the leather strap Did you buy direct?

Why WW?
Quoted from ToucanF16:Welcome to Pinside misterman ! Great watch BTW! New to the pinball scene, only one pin... that will change! You can't have just one!
I find myself scanning the classifieds here and elsewhere a lot in my free time lately. Almost got a whitewater locally but it was gone too soon.
Whitewater is good. Finding the pin is half the fun. Unfortunately, I always had to drive long distance or ship my pins. Never found much locally.

Congrats! Love the pop of red font on those and agree that while it is considered big for a Rolex, really just average size compared to most modern watches these days. Must have a good relationship with your AD. Wear it in good health!!!
