      75 prices for you.

      • +1

        great effort PJC!

        • You're welcome!

  • Do these watches have any resale value?

    • Yep.The FC3XX series and FC7XX series.

      • +5

        I'm sure they will all resell for a price, but I don't think PJC has posted these for resellers.

        Nice work once again PJC, your shop window is full.

        • +9

          PJC knows that Ozbargain resembles a shop window, so he invests 3 to 4 minutes and adds 4 to 5,000 examples.

          And if he needs to change it he also knows that his 'edit' button is between 'view' and 'revisions'.

        • +5

          @Scab: Thanks, I knew there was an 'edit' button somewhere.

    • +5

      My friend at Westpac told me watches are a high yield investment.

      • +12

        It just takes time.

      • They are if you're a realestate agent

      • +1

        Are you telling me this will go well with my 80k car that will appreciate with time?!

        • +1

          Of course! Isn't that obvious?

        • Comment appreciated but not upvoted due to restrictions.

      • +2

        FC makes one of the cheapest in-house movement perpetual calendars. Their slimline and classic models are quite reasonably priced for someone starting their journey into the horological world. As for resale, you probably would probably get back 40-60% of the purchase price if it is in good condition.

        • +1

          Comment appreciated but not upvoted due to restrictions.

    • I'd suggest anything battery operated would not.

  • +16

    Is this the standard for a watch deal post now?

    Cos the quality is so high I need no drugs

    • +3

      PJC is a drug, I think it's similar to GBH.

      Got pulled over last week and the cop did a roadside PJC test.

      Also made me do a sobriety test by walking in a straight line while saying, bargains have prices, we like to see prices.

    Great post. Can anyone recommend a sports watch mainly for swimming? Thanks

    • +4

      Personally, I'd go for an inflatable watch.

    • +1

      Not much info to go off, but there are lots of Casio G-Shocks in the description under Other current watch deals:-
      They are all 200m water resistant.

    • +1

      Wenger 01.0441.117 with silicon strap and 100m water resistance for about $51.15. Incredible value.

      • +3

        Yeah, but Wenger out.

          Ungrateful Arsenal Fan are we?.
          He gave Arsenal many good years, in particular in the face of mega million foreignly owned 'English' clubs.

          There's always one…

    I’ve got one of these - have had some terrible rusting issues on mine. They keep fixing it and the problem keeps happening. Requested refund but no luck. Purchased from an Australian retailer too :(

    Great deals/prices!!

    any watch for ladies?

    • +4

      Yes, they all have the ♀ symbol between the No. and model name.

      • +1

        wow, great effort in the details.
        Great post.

        • Great except for the colour gendering (just made up a new outrage term), boys can like pink too.

        • @Scab: Yes, the right shade of dark pink can look good on a man's watch. I followed the manufacturer's designations for gender.

        • Comment appreciated but not upvoted due to restrictions.

      • Why does the "ladies" sign point downwards and men sign points upward? This is gender bias. Feminazis of the world, UNITE!!!

        • Oh no. Now I'm really in trouble.

        • It represents an erection and is anatomically correct.

        • @Scab: And the downward pointing sign? What does that represent? Frigidity?

          Also doesn't it mean that men are always horny?

        • @vodkamilkshake:

          The female sign looks like the inverted version of the cross. I always knew women were evil lol

        • Please, take the entire rainbow. Nobody deserves any colour except you.

  • I always though FREDERIQUE CONSTANT is Rolex, IWC level brand….. guess I was wrong :P

    • +10

      Yes, you were wong.

      • +4

        Unless you're confusing it with Vacheron Constantin?

        • +1

          Most would when hearing the Constantin.
          Great work OP though on the post. Have considered one of these for a cheap(er) dress watch

        • +1

          @Maz78: You're welcome. Let us know which one you get.

        • @PJC:

          I'm not sure the budget allows it at the moment mate, but definitely good prices! :)

        • Good point. Comment appreciated but not upvoted due to restrictions.

    • +1

      They are expensive, but these are the lowest prices I can find. Except on eBay , some are a little cheaper with a vendor named hot-brands, who I excluded because they lack an independent website.

    • I thought the same..

    • +1

      They are owned by Citizen, a japanese company which makes the bulk of its sales in the sub $50 market

    • I just reported you to the mods.

    Omg. There is 1 that I've been eyeing for so long. Just curious since it is over than the tax free threshold for import, how do we calculate the extra duty I need to pay? Or the price listed is already included with any duty that might come with it?

      Not sure if GST is included, if not and it's over $1000 just 10% GST plus brokerage fee if it's coming through courier companies like FedEx. And if you're lucky it might slip through the customs.

    • If it's over $1,000, customs charges will be around 14%. Make sure the strap is not made of alligator skin or something exotic.

    Just a heads up, to those they may be purchasing their first mechanical watch.
    Keep in mind that they should be serviced every 5 years, and the service alone may cost more than you're prepared for, and in some cases pretty close to the purchase price.

    • Sometimes an automatic doesn't require a service for 20 years or more.

        It's like a car, regardless of use, even if it's not driven, and seemingly not "required" it should still be done if it's going to be used and expected to work correctly. The lubes will dry out, and stop working as intended, and then start to damage the movement.

          My Seiko Kinetic went for 24 years and I never spent a cent on it.

          Just recently got the battery changed which cost $120 including pressure test and service.

          Could probably do the battery for a fraction of that.

          Never doubting what can be done, but what can be done versus best practice can be vastly different.
          I am sure I could come across someone who hasn't changed their cars oil in 24 years too. Sure the forces and precision are vastly different, but the point still stands.

          My point it, it's a mechanical item, as such, beware that there is an ideal service model that is vastly different to a quartz watch, and a much higher cost associated with it.
