    Sold  SubZero 4 Planet X/Blue

    I have a never worn, former display model SubZero #4 in Planet X/Blue. I have the box, warranty card and original microfiber bag. I am the original owner, I bought it years ago but never wore it. The bad: - The foam insert that was in the box disintegrated a long time ago. - There is a faint...

    Watch Size Question

    It's just going to be a matter of getting used to the look - I don't think the size of the watch should hold you back (to some extent) from wearing what you like. I have pretty small wrists at 6.5", but all my watches fall into the 44mm - 47mm range. If I had the spare cash, I'd buy another...

    Is it OK to post a "what's it worth" thread?

    Yeah, I know, but they are so... new. It would actually be better if they were slightly used, then I wouldn't be afraid to wear them, especially since I don't have to because I already have Oakleys that I like and wear. Like a new car, I'm trying to avoid that first ding...

    Is it OK to post a "what's it worth" thread?

    Thanks guys. Correct, no serial number, it is a current production pair. I was pretty sure that's what they are worth (still listed on Oakley's site), but a quick look at Ebay showed a couple just like it going for $500 or more. I was wondering if I was missing something, if there was...

    Is it OK to post a "what's it worth" thread?

    Thanks, I appreciate the responses and the opportunity. I've spent 10 years on the various knife and watch forums and I try to help out the newbs if possible, so I know that it can sometimes seem annoying when people ask questions for which the answers may be readily available, but not always...

    Is it OK to post a "what's it worth" thread?

    I want to make sure that I don't violate any rules (written or unwritten) since I haven't seen any threads like this, even though I figured there would be some. Anyhow, this is the situation; if it's OK to proceed, I'll upload some pics: I bought a pair of Juliets with Ruby lenses a couple of...

    New Gearbox Is On Oakley.com

    +2 on that. Also, the lack of a date display is a deal breaker for me. On top of all that, at $1,895 for a straight ETA movment, Oakley is playing in a different league, there are many good automatic watches that can be had around that price point. Check out an Oris Pro Diver for around...

    Looking For A Good Winder

    I have a couple of Breitlings, an Oris and some higher-end Seikos and I've been using Orbita winders which have been great. If you don't want to spend that kind of money on a winder, the Sharper Image winder is hard to beat. It is dead quiet, where even my Orbitas make some noise when going...

    What Are You Driving ?

    2005 WRX. Sort of an old picture, I no longer have the huge spoiler on the trunk.

    US Customs?

    I've had packages clear customs in a matter of hours, some took over a month - whenever it took a while it was because they were trying to figure out how much duty to assess. Hopefully, in your case, they are just slow. The last time I got a watch from overseas, I had to pay $160 duty on it.

    PayPal Gift?

    I never use the Gift/Personal option to pay someone and I won't do business with those who insist on it. As a buyer, using the Gift/Personal tab gives you zero recourse should the deal go south. By sending money as a gift, you are literally saying to the seller, "hey, here's some money, I...

    Any Reason To Snap Up Juliets From The Oakley Store?

    Do you remember how much they cost at the Vault? Are they only slightly discounted? I will be in Las Vegas in two weeks, I know the Downtown Premium Outlets mall has a Vault, I was thinking of stopping in. Knowing that they might have some Juliets at a decent discount will help sway my...

    Any Reason To Snap Up Juliets From The Oakley Store?

    Sorry if this question has been asked before... I stopped by the local Oakley Store yesterday and I noticed that they still have some Juliets - mostly the "old standbys", like Plasma/Fire, X-Metal/Black and Carbon/Black. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to grab a pair while I still...

    Watch Prices Increasing!

    Most people who think that $3,000, $4,000 or more for a watch is a lot don't realize how much watches cost. There are dozens upon dozens of watches that cost over $50,000. Just two weeks ago, I saw this guy at Barnes and Noble wearing a jewel encrusted Richard Mille - I went home to look it up...
