The only thing I will add is that the watches I wear everyday are not the best watches I own, I reserve those for special occasions. You can certainly do otherwise, but worth thinking about. The more special/irreplaceable, the less I wear them. I have a few Connies/Longines that are maybe 80-85% that are easy to wear without a lot of concern. The watches I found that are near original get a lot less wear. That said, I agree with others, do your homework, and you will be able to recognize good values. I definitely recommend the sales forums on this site. I've bought several watches here that were definitely very good values and some that are really special. It's more important to know what you are after.
