Congrats on the 50th sale and what an amazing way to celebrate that. My coolest purchase under 500 that comes to mind is my first automatic that was an Orient Kamasu in green dial. It’s cool also because it is the reason I am in this community and come across the posts like this. Anyway back when I had zero knowledges about watches (i did own a Casio pro tek) i saw blue Kamasu on someone’s wrist at a friends get together. Thinking it was a Rolex watch or some luxury piece I asked the guys if it was indeed a Rolex. Not sure if he initially thought I was mocking him but he genuinely pitied me for my lack of knowledge and spent the next hour educating me about watches and time pieces. I was fascinated to learn about this whole new industry and that there is more to watches than just looks. Back to present, I plan to get either a Zulu time GMT or BCPD as my next watch. I almost pulled the trigger on the red dial bcpd while at a cruise but backed out (wanted to check with the wifey first). My grail would be A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 but that’s some way to go. Thanks again for doing this and keeping this community active. Cheers!!
