Hello everyone, I want everyone who is suspicious about the various internet watches to read and take heed to what I am about to say.I personally am tired of hearing about the whole conspiracy theory on these watches. Lets analyze what is being said. The term MSRP means " Manufacturers Suggested  Retail Price." That is what the creators of these fine watches suggest based on the work and material used to make these items. Basically though since these watches have no clout (to put it in a way everyone can understand) when compared to more well known watches i.e. Rolex, Movado etc. they sell for less. Let's take 50 cent, the rapper for example, when he and most rappers first hit the street with their CDs they tend to sell them for like $5.00-$10.00 dollars out of the trunk of their cars. Now 50 cent could sneeze on an album and he gets $10,000.00 or more. I personally have a massive collection of watches including, Movados, Joe Rodeo, Balmer, Louis Bolle, Esquire, Bulova, Aqua Master etc. I would raise my arm right next to someone with a Movado and show them my Balmer Lacerta and I guarantee they would give me a compliment. I am entering my first year on ownership on many on the ones I have bought on the internet with very little problems. On course a couple may need a date hand tweaked but any automatic watches will have the same issues. You could pay $30,000.00 for a Phillip Patek and have the same problems. For those of you whose Wohlers or Louis Bolles have broken, that should be a statement on the seller more so than the watch. In case you haven't noticed the price of many of these watches are going up,up,up as they get more "street cred" if you will. I feel like a genius for snatching the Balmer Orion and Galaxy last year for like $400-$500.00 because now they don't sell for less than $800-$1000.00. What these store dealers need to do is buy some of these and sell them in the stores for $1500.00 or so and get rid of a lot of the crap like Invicta that are truly cheap. Wake up America, you all are looking a gift horse in the mouth. 911 was a conspiracy, rising gas prices is a conspiracy, our next President (McCain) will be a conspiracy, these watches aren't. By the way, I have had some on mine appraised by official reps and they all are of at least $500- $2500.00 depending on the model. Balmers are worth more than the Tavans but you can't go wrong with either. Take it from me, I know quality watches because I have worn them all except Cartier and Breitling, but I will soon have those in my collection as well.
