Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I dont buy many watches and i am new at it.

I was in Branson Mo today and visited a pawn shop and a Fine Art Gallery.

At the pawn shop, I picked up a 2014 Chris Ward C60 GMT with box, papers and the original warranty card for $600 even.

Walked across the street to the gallery and saw a 60’s Omega Seamaster. I think i over paid at $900. But i have been wanting this watch. The pics look rough. It doesn’t look like that in person. The gold is very good but…

I have seen on local i like for $4000. I have seen them online for $2000 up to $700. They all look similar and so many varients. What should i look for?

How much time does your Oris 733 lose over a week?

Edit: 3rd time the watch has lost 2-3 minutes over a 4-5 day period. Should it go to warranty? It is 5 weeks old. Oris says -12 sec a day on the high end. That is 1 min per 5 days. Mine is a little on...

Edit: bought it new, $375. see pic below.

How do you feel about Bulova?

I know there is a Bulova forum, but i don't want fans to answer. They will always say, they brand is great.

Some Bulovas have some good specs. If the specs match what i want and the watch looks good, any reason not to buy it?
