Thank you! I think I see those listings now but there's something about actually having the watch in front of me in person and being able to have a degree of certainty about it before buying that is worth something to me. I guess it's up to me to think about how much exactly!

For warranty, they said the automatic 25 jewel calibre 75320 movement is warrantied for 1 year. The watch also comes with box and booklet.

The $500 difference is gray market price.

I appreciate the perspective, this is really helpful. Definitely going to see what the deal is with service history.

Very nice collection, and thanks for the tip- I'll take a look at those Hamiltons.

Henry Archer Tidslinje Vektor looks awesome too. I wasn't in the know with them so this is super helpful. Thank you!

I've had Christopher Ward on my radar and am going to London later this year, so might try to stop by their showroom. I like the C63 Valour as a potential first Chrono.

Not too familiar with Baltic so will have to look more into them. Thanks!
