It's nothing special, just an Oyster from 2001. Blue pearl face, stainless strap. 21st birthday present from my folks, so more sentimental value than anything else.
I used to wear it a lot, but I just won't risk it these days. If I lost it, or it got stolen I'd be absolutely heartbroken.
EDIT
That's close, but the face is darker in real life and the bezel is slightly different. Smoother, I believe.
really nice Ekona, understand about the risk of losing it and sentimental value.

I really should get my watch (Rolex) serviced at some point. Not that I use it that often, and tbh I prefer my cheapy Sekonda anyway as it doesn't matter if I get drunk and fall over and scuff it then
tell me more! which model is it? age? pics? I think there are a few of us that are keen/aspiring watch fans. I'm certainly in the latter of the 2.

So do all high ends watches have high servicing costs?
Sorry I missed the Troll!
Flex, no is the short answer. I know a few people who only use an independent to service watches, which warrants a much lower cost but the same level of servicing (depending upon the watch maker). Rolex's should last 10 years without a major service (which is circa 450 from Rolex, and expect the watch to be gone for a couple of months). Breitling minor service is around 150, major being around 400, but again only if you go back to the manufacturer. I wouldn't get too hung up on servicing costs tbh.

In to watches so happy to help if poss!
Rado's are nice Swiss watches, made from the same composite from the nose cone of modern rockets (if that is your thing?).
Are you wanting to get a brand new watch, pre worn and reconditioned or brand new/un-worn? Personally I am a fan of buying brand new/un-worn watches, essentially a brand new watch which may be 3-6 months old but still with all of its tags, protective films etc.... they normally come with circa 10% of RRP. I would also recommend a couple of indy watch shops which are highly regarded: blowers and watch centre. They may have higher end than the value you're looking at but it's worth a look at least!

This is a common problem with multiple dealers and it's suggested that anyone with a 370z goes and checks to be sure

Looks a bit like a Gumpert Apollo.
It really doesn't!

they always come crawling back in the end!

It looks like your zed is an older one, but I had a 370z for a week whilst my 350z HR was with Nissan for some work. The sales guy basically gave me their new 370z demo car which was fully spec`d up. I seem to recall the price he took out of the screen was something like £36k, although it was a good few years back now. He was convinced he`d get me to "upgrade".
I just didnt like it at all. It`s styling looked longer and narrower than the 350z when in reality its the other way around. My 350z HR felt quicker, more responsive and just a much better driving experience. The only area I really did like of the 370z was the interior. It made my facelifted 350z look very dated. Also the multi-media system was miles better than the ancient bose sat nav in my 350z. So for me, the move from a 350zHR to a 370z wasnt worth it. But from an older 350z you might notice a huge difference.
Its all a personal thing though. Test drive a couple, you may love them or hate them!
Exactly my experience too, maybe it had something to do with the later model HRs in comparison

When I originally bought my 350z HR I test drove that and the 370z. IMO I preferred the drive of the 350z as it felt more "raw" and more of a drivers car than the 370z. Subsequently I test drove a 370z Nismo which IMO was similar to the 350z but better in every aspect, plus the "raw" feel that I was looking for.
Maybe worth driving a standard 370z and a 370zNismo/modified
Good luck!

awesome!!

Wowzers!

depends on your financial situation. I loved my old 350z but I just couldn't get over how old the car was getting ... if you can afford it, go for it!

Very nice but It's crying out for white front reflectors - like I put on mine.
Looks great, are they LED's also or reflectors only ?
Reflectors only

O that's a bummer ask for a refund, if he's a forum trader, then talk to him, he cant be that bad.

Were they made by a blind one armed ferret on work experience on a Friday afternoon?
That's utterly shocking. Send 'em back and ask for either parts that have half a chance at fitting, or a refund. A little bit of massaging isn't out of the question, but those parts aren't even in the same postcode as the car.

It's just a car. If anything, I drive mine more in the winter as I love the challenge wet and cold weather brings to a driver.
Sorry but this did make me laugh a little
-
Womens car! Look quite small, fragile/feminine looking and personally don't think they have road presence at all.
-
Looks good!!
However the rear plate looks like its not straight, lifting to the right
-
Swap it out, why run the risk! Not sure if a drifter or someone would be willing to take it off your hands.. ?

just say "X (daddy), I am going to ask X (girl) to marry me" ... pause for reaction, end of. You're not asking for permission and you're still doing the respectful thing by giving her dad the heads up

Watches

i'm pretty confident that Rolex don't "do deals" with independent watch shops. You'll probably find that its a combination of reduction in tax, and most likely brand new/un-worn.
