IF you want the Cheapest, Ebay. But be careful. I would much rather buy from a dealer though.
GL | I just recently bought/ordered the Eto online off ebay for i think $408 from the seller "count_shop"...top rated seller with 99% feedback
Awesome looking watch, would prefer the x-wind but cant cough up the dough for it atm

Added a trendy Fossil AM3695(middle) to my small collection. Got it as a gift from the gf. 
Looking into getting either one of these soon. I'm really digging the looks of divers right now...   | |

anybody know where the best place to buy used watches? any watch forums? I'm looking at getting myself a Breitling Chrono, stainless with 18k gold. MENS BREITLING GOLD CHRONOMAT | eBay
Theres tons floating around ebay for about 2 g's, but i'm always weary about ebay. And the reason I want to buy used is because there's such a big price drop. My dads gold breitling retailed for $44,000 and he bought it for like $10,000 cash off some guy going broke. They had a used section in Ceasers Palace but still wanted $5,000 for a $7,000 watch. The thing with high end watches is once they're used, they're worth half as much (unless its an audemars piguet or something)

Tell us how your experience with the shop is like and post a picture. | Watch just came in yesterday, didn't expect it to come so soon - delivered from HK. they shipped last week around 6th - 9th, so quick delivery.
The watch itself is fantastic, my new favorite, pics later...its awesome looking. Came in a Hamilton box with manuals and mini brochure, and i think count_shop has their own 1 year warranty.
They have raised their prices though it seems about 100$, for my model at least, so maybe check the auctioned off watches.

Their all quartz too i believe. Not much of value if your planning to resell in the future

Nixon, Gucci, Armani, etc. are all standard quartz. Really all you're paying for is the look and the name. Inside is pretty much the same as any $20 watch.
All depends what you're looking for.

Quartz is a watch movement that is powered by batteries as opposed to mechanical watches that are self winding.

But Energy pretty much summed it up in a nutshell in the post above.
For example.. A $2000 Gucci watch with quartz movement is essentially a $50 Fossil watch with a different casing and the brand stamped on it. Under the the casing, it's pretty much the same. Quartz watches are really more fashion accessories.
Automatics however, run off of movement. And that's what people who buy these watches appreciate - The brand, the build, the mechanics.

Having said that, a lot of swiss automatic watches use the same movement as well. You can get a <$1000 watch using the same ETA movement as a $7000 watch.

Quartz is generally more accurate than automatics but like impulse_x said, its about the mechanicals inside the watch.
And yes, unless you spend for a high end brand like Rolex or Patek that makes their own movements then most automatics use the same movement too. So you pay for materials, design, and marketing.
I'd still like an Oris skeleton watch even if it has a mass produced movement   | |
