I wouldn't pay those prices listed for those watches-just me.

You could get a new IWC Pilot watch for not much more. And for 25% more you may be able to get a new IWC Aquatimer.

I like TAG but only if gotten for a heavy discount. Ball are cool due to their tritium capsules, neat to play with at night and I would only consider as a toy in a larger collection.

Any mechanical watch will need service and care, some people like divers watches due to beefier case and capability in water.
I will try on both Ball and Tag before making any decisions. What are your thoughts on their prices? I welcome input as I'll be taking months finding the right used model once I finalize a model...

I'm not a huge fan of IWC styling though I find them more attractive.
