Watch Shopping on An Air Force Base (and saving BIG)

It’s not something everyone can access, but if you can, buying a watch from a military base exchange (BX) is one of the easiest ways to save big.

What Is a Marriage Watch? It’s Not What You Think
มุมมอง 585หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, we look at a watch that I recently got off of eBay. It’s a pocket watch turned into a wrist watch. Another term for this kind of watch is a “marriage watch.” Check out my friend Ivane at MwMAtelier. He used to build watches like this in Ukraine. Now he is in Switzerland. Also, check out Vortic Watch Company at vorticwatches.com. They have some very cool vintage piec...

The $100,000 Trump Watch - Is It a Scam or a Deal?

People can say what they want, but if you wear one of Trump’s watches, you’ll be noticed. And if you pay $100k for one, you probably don’t care what others think. But if you think this watch is just a money grab, a scam, then maybe you should look a little deeper.

    I'm retired Army and have shopped at the PX/BX since 1973. I have found good bargains for jewelry but I haven't had your luck watch shopping. Just not enough discount compared to Walmart or online retailers, even considering the lack of sales tax. Maybe I will look again. But the 50+ mm designer watch will never be on my wrist.

  • @kleinster99

    There are no luxury watches at the PX which is a bummer. Most of those you can get at the Walmart too.

    I did 22-plus years in the Air Force and was stationed at Eglin from '77 to '82. I may have worked on that F-15 behind you, was there when the 33rd transitioned from F-4 Phantoms to F-15 Eagles. I got to go back to Eglin TDY in the late '90s and the BX really was upgraded from the time that I was Stationed there. Eglin is a terrific base for those lucky enough to get assigned there. Enjoyed your video.

    Brother those price are a scam even with no sale tax, I'm a watch dealer and I can buy every single watch you showed for a least 30% less expensive and still make a profit. When I was in Fort Jackson in the 80's our then called PX was truly a heaven for purchasing electronics, I purchased a Casio calculator watch for $12.99 and it costed over $50.00 dollars in malls!

      I believe you. But from my experience, at least with G-Shocks, they are rarely sold for much less than MRSP. Sippy and demand, I suppose.

    The Bertucci in the poly case extremely light, the straps on the Bertuccis are some of the best made. Its avalible in stainless steel and titanium with Japanesse or Swiss quartz mobements which are far less noisey than those used by Timex in their entry models. Timex vases are also usually plated brass under $100 mark.

    The tritium lasts 25 years I’ll be 80 so don’t really care I have several Ball watches as well as Marathon which has tritium. One of mine is 15 years old and still as bright as the new ones. But each their own. I guess if I really need to see the time in the dark in 25 years I’ll get a Timex indiglo. Oh I really enjoy your videos.

    Ball tritium tubes have a half life of approximately 25 years. That means I’m 25 years from production it will be half as bright as new. Remember triituum is not as bright as regular lum at first, however, after just a few minutes in complete darkness, tritium will out shine all conventional lum. That being said, there is something wrong with yours if the lum doesn’t glow. I would take it back to your retailer and ask wtf?
