Pinball and watches are my things as well. Been cooling a bit on the watches the last couple of years and selling off.
I just wish the pins were as easy to move snd store as the watches are.

Quoted from Erik:Lemme ask what is probably a dumb question but I will expose myself anyways .. how do you discern a real watch from a replica* Is there a website that shows the difference? Do you only buy direct from Rolex or Omega, etc stores?
* wanted to say "refake" here but was advised I'd owe Tiki royalties
The most basic is that most fakes have quartz movements and have a "sweep" seconds hand. While genuine mechanical watches generally have a ticking seconds hand. You can spot prolly 75% of fake Rolexes by the seconds hand.
Here's a site with a pretty good rundown. http://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-blog/rolex-info/the-top-ten-ways-to-spot-a-fake-rolex.html
Once you have a real one, you can spot most fakes from, literally, 5 feet away.
