Guys and Gals, I'm getting tired of...

...My collection... Yeah sure... It's a nice and good collection... But I'm getting bored of using all of the same... Even my DJ has lost it's special feeling when I wearing it. There are even times in the morning before going to school, I don't feel like wearing any! I want to buy something new... But nothing like a New Rolex or Omega... something less than $150 or so... Automatic at the very least.
Can you guys help me? I don't know what to do!! And that fake PO was kinda my everyday watch and it's messed up! Yeah It was a fake, but I liked it.

A fake is never the answer. Just aiding criminals.

Do I dare say it... oh what the heck! Invicta Pro Diver perhaps? Get the Miyota Movement Auto and they should be less than $100 Model 8926 for Ex.

or... Seiko 5. Great watches for the money also. Under 100.

Check Amazon for decent prices.

You have a lot of nerve and no respect.

If you would have explained how you were duped that would have helped, but posting that you miss your fake doesn't really state that. It rather states that you wish you still had a fake to wear. I don't know all your history, etc. I don't know how people can keep up with everything here.

Then you say you are sorry and tell me to bite you. Which is it?

Then you say your sorry again but say I don't care what I think and go ahead and tell on me if you want. So which is it, you sorry or giving me the finger?

Beater watch, you can't be a Seiko. I have two.

I'm done.

But I did say that I got duped... I'm sorry and you can tell on me if you want... I'm just a 15 yr old that's not mature enough...That's all... I've got to many problems right now... i'm just... confused. That's all.

Tell you what, Gaby.......take a stroll down one of your avenues that has a RADO dealer.

Stand there for about 10 minutes looking at all the RADOs on display.

You will then find yourself rushing home asap and hugging each and every watch in your collection.

End of story.

Cheers - JJ

hey... There is nothing wrong with modern Rado watches......

It is certainly a better alternative than the fake PO ;-)

I suggestion is take $150 (or whatever the budget is) with you and go to your AD or jewellery store and see what is available for you.

I have been in similar situtation before and that's why I have other brands other than rolex in my collection.

Thanks, Eric That's what I'm gonna do... I've been eyeing a Seiko Monster for a while, but for $150 I don't think I can get one

There are so many watches for that price range. Check the internet, get an idea for what you want, then hit the streets. Good luck.
The best watch I ever bought for 150 or under was a titanium festina. Very nice watch.
