Thanks for the help. I'm really only just starting to learn about timepieces, their movements, # of jewels, etc., etc. and find it to be a fascinating experience.

My budget does not allow me to purchase or collect at the same level as most of you here, but call me an interested beginner. I have an awful lot to learn.

IWC was not a brand that I had originally considered, but I will now. Patek Philippe, et al are far too expensive for my resources (and I'd be afraid to wear it on a daily basis - I'm very hard on watches). I enjoy the classic look of the Omega Seamaster and could see myself with one of those. I must confess, I always thought that Omega and breitling were very high end - shows you I have a lot to learn.

Thanks for your assistance. Keep posting as I've really learned something here. Any other good sites out there other than TZ?
