Websites for buying watches?

About five or more years ago I was in total watch geek mode.

I had a long list of bookmarks on my computer of all the best places to buy watches.

Well, I have upgraded my computer and lost those bookmarks.

I'm not into high end watches, mostly Seiko and Citizen and other Asian... I even ordered a few from Hong Kong that are not available in the states (I would rather have something unusual and unique then expensive).

Off the top of my head I remember Jomashop and I think Princeton.

There was an online store in Texas and a place in Las Vegas that had some good prices but I don't remember the name of the site.

Anyone have some links they would like to share?

TIA

I've only purchased bands from them but they have a very nice looking selection.

watchismo.com has some cool, reasonably priced stuff.
I bought my current Citizen on Amazon... it was cheap.

The Seiko/Citizen forum (and many of the other forums) on the following site is a great resource:

The Watchseller

This guy is honest and knows his stuff. I bought a Rolex GMT from him several years ago that I've since sold. I'd buy again from him with no hestiation.

Is there a good site to get after market leather bands for a Breitling? I don't feel like paying $200 for one.

Thanks!

I've bought some silicone bands here. I'm sure the leather ones are as good of quality. Good company and fast service...

Do an eBay/Google search for the followng companies:

Di-Modell
Hirsch
Hadley-Roma

They are probably the most popular/reputable and good quality. Each have different styles, materials, and price-points. Best to include your lug size (20mm, etc.) with your search to narrow things down.
