Oh I just read JayPesoz's post where he said he bought his leather watch for $1,700 a few years back. I think this is the one he was talking abouton page 3.

Yeah, Vacheron is in my long list of "wants" but the Portuguese is just something that doesn't seem liek it would get old. It has such a classic look yet not exactly vintage but modern. It's hard to explain but it's a beautiful watch. As of right now, I'm actually contemplating about a BigBang or Portuguese. If I get the Portuguese, I might have to settle and buy the Tag's Calibre S or Carrera Chrono for casual wear along with my Burberry watches. I think that's more reasonable because if I buy the Hublot, I just can't imagine myself wearing my other watches anymore. A couple of months ago I could either have both the Portuguese and BigBang or a car, I opted for the car. i'm back on track though and just waiting for that one good deal to strike.
i think in general most NT'ers don't care about movement, but only about the dial. if so, there are plenty of choices that are quartz andlook great. try craigslist - there are always sellers there that sell great finds, and it's usually not in high demand because everyone else is looking onebay instead, or they don't trust the whole meeting up thing. there are also a few watch forums that sell at great prices, so look around, you're boundto find something you like for 1.7k.
