Too bad it costs over $3000.  I was looking at longislandwatch.com and saw this little beauty:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/7286-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 800px;\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/7286-2-1.jpg\" height=\"534\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>vs.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/3570-50_7.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 800px;\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/3570-50_7.JPG\" height=\"540\" width=\"405\" \/><\/a><br \/>It&#8217;s still $299, but costs less than 1\/10th the price of the Omega.  It looks cool on leather, but I am sure a nice bracelet would be compliment it as well.  The sub-dials are in a little different order, but I like the overall look.  A quartz watch, but that&#8217;s ok.  I expect it for all inexpensive chronographs.  Oh well, just something to think about.  For that kind of money, I could almost get my grail watch, the Seiko Alpinist.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;t=Nice%2C%20but%20pricey&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2008%2F03%2F3570-50_7.JPG&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Nice%2C%20but%20pricey\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Nice%2C%20but%20pricey&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"WordPress Social Media Feather\" href=\"http:\/\/synved.com\/wordpress-social-media-feather\/\" style=\"color:#444;text-decoration:none;font-size:8px;margin-left:5px;vertical-align:10px;white-space:nowrap\"><span>by <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;margin:0;padding:0;width:16px;height:16px\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"feather\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/icon.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronographs are still haunting me.
