$140 with a leather strap with orange thread. I love the watch with the bracelet on it now. I actually rotate it with my Submariner now.

Funny, same as the poster above, it took me almost a month to find a buyer for a friend's Orange Monster on bracelet that was for sale at $150.

My two aren't going for sale anytime soon though

Here's my new to me Ocean7 LM-2, I have the Ocean7 bracelet as well but I can't get the spring bars between the lugs for the life of me

Hmm, the battery life is enough for only 1 day no? And it's not like the screen is on 24/7, you need to power it on to look at the watch...kind of inconvenient.

Engadget (I think it was them at least) did a great review of using the Nano as a watch, essentially renders it useless for all purposes (to paraphrase) was their conclusion

For those looking for Seiko, ALL Seiko is 50% off until Christmas time at Times Circle at FMP...

My faves: Omega Speedmaster Pro (which I have) and Tag Grand Carrera RS 6 (which I want)

I am not in TO, however, I purchased a U1 SDR from Louis Black earlier this year. I dealt with them over the phone from Ottawa and had them ship the watch to my home. They ended up ordering one direct from Sinn as they did not have one in stock. It took about two weeks. At the time their prices were comparable to Watchbuys. Overall, it was a very smooth transaction and I was happy with their service.

Thanks for the info. now the decision of either getting U1 or the U1 SDR. how is the bezel holding up? does it scratch or chip easily?

Thinking about buying a Breitling seawolf or an Omega PO XL. Don't really prefer one over the other, at the moment I'll just take whichever one I can get at a better discount. Since La Swiss is the only AD in Toronto for Breitlings I would assume that their discount isn't that great since people don't really have an option to buy anywhere else? Should I expect that their discount get any better on boxing day? What kind of discount should I look to get on either of these?

So far the bezel has held up very well. I've had the watch for 5 months and the bezel is in perfect condition. I wear it nearly every evening and on the weekends. The only signs of wear are scuff marks on the clasp for the rubber strap.

There have been 40% off discounts at La Swiss but they mark up the watches before the sale so do your research before purchasing.

Do you know which ones they carry? Do they have the Sumo? Monster? Any of the mechanical divers? Thanks
