Should I buy this watch?

It's currently at $47.00 with about 50 minutes left. $15 shipping from Singapore. I've bought from this seller before, I just don't know if I need another watch.

It'll probably go for about $55 + $15 shipped. Well below $80 for sure.

Hmm then its a dilema. If i didn't have a watch id definitely jump on it. But since you already have one it seems like kind of a waste. And its not really good enough to be a collector's item.
 
Hmm, let's see here...

$47 + $15 = $62

then...

$62 / $1.50 (per loaf of bread)

Approx. = 41.3 loaves of bread

I already have two (one arabic numbered, one Roman). But they're both rather small (both Seikos, both bought from the same seller).

I feel like maybe I should switch it up perhaps. Maybe a Tag ($$) or a Citizen?

It's based on the bulletproof Seiko 7S26 movement and shouldn't require any warranty service. I've already got two watches with the same movement, and they're ticking along great.
 
jumpr, which seller did you buy from? I'm still trying to decide which seiko I want from a seller in Singapore also (I think), but there's so many good ones that I can't make up my mind 🙁

It's part of the movement. I'm not sure about the specifics, but the more jewels, the better. I've got two 21-jewel watches, but I'm looking to get a 23.
 
So if I wanted to look around ebay for a watch, could you reccomend some kind of information resource that might help with making a good decision? Some kind of forum I suppose.

Do you know how hard those Singaporean eBayers would be flogged if they were discovered by their government?
 
How accurate is your Seiko 5 automatic? I Have to move it back 2 minutes every couple of days because it is too fast.
