Re: Watch Aficionados?

Thank Engadget for this one.


Price is on the down low, but it's limited to only nine being made.

I have had my eye on a Rado ceramic lately though. Will make a nice retirement gift for myself.

I dream of one day picking up a Rado Sintra … one day.

yah, but it makes the pocket book happy, and thats more important then religion......

And I have a real Bell&Ross and a real U-Boat........so they forgive me

The replica keeps the others in line

I picked this up for a steal coming through duty free at Coutts. For $75 had to pick it up. I like the titanium mesh. The band is really cool.

Looks pretty nice but I want a real Panerai!!! Probably not going to happen this year I guess depends on the tax season bonus.

I did switch my B&R to a rubber strap as mine came with leather and I am really enjoying it so far, think it really helps hold the larger heavy watches in place better without having to be super tight.

With the help of Blair's guidance, I broke down and bought the Nixon 51-30 Gunmetal........


Also got this Panerai Automatic Replica. I must say it is pretty damn good quality, one of my co-workers has a real one and it took us a while to spot the differences, which I can live with for the $8,000 price difference.............

Any one notice Harvey Levin (the host of TMZ) wears a different watch every show.........
He was wearing a Bell & Ross last time I flip to it and a Concord the time before as well as a Hublot another time. I think that the network has a bunch of watches they get to choose from in wardrobe unless this guy spends a **** ton of money on watches.......

Re: Watch Aficionados?

how have i missed this thread???
i jsut spent 20 minutes at work scanning through it, and i am not even half way done.

i am currently rocking a few different watches. my daily drivers are both really basic, a longines L3-618


and a super thin Rado:


neitehr were super pricey. both were well under 6k. hoping to get a few new additions this year. definitely a huge Bell and Ross fan, and some more non-descript german craftworks as well.
