when i think about "clean and understated" i think about vacheron.
but they are outrageously out of budget. in fact, i´ve only seen 2 in real life in my 29 years in this planet.

vacherons are beautiful still rather conventional styling though.
i like that one
available with a ti body too, looks gorgeous
btw anybody still remember the company which build that mechanical watch which mimicked a digital clock by turning tiny metal bars?

Have you thought about getting a cell phone and a fancy bracelet or two?
thats not the one i meant but pretty cool never the lees, and something i'd never buy...
yep..
From what I can see I get a seven day satisfaction guarantee, I'm sending this sucker back, not because it's a bad watch but because I was led to believe it was local stock. If I had have known it was going to be a grey import with a foreign warranty card that wasn't completed I would have bought it cheaper from a different source.
Hopefully I get a refund and I can get something else.
Seriously? We are on a site that has a majority thinks your kit should match your bike, or you should be rockin body hugging Lycra.
In comparison this thread is balls out macho!
Just kidding, yeah it's gay.
Am I the only one that hates digging a cell phone out of their pocket to check the time? Not to mention the assumption that the phone is next to me every single time I want to check the clock.
I A) don't have my phone glued to my hip, and B) think it's annoying to pull the phone out of my pocket to check the time. Also, it's not exactly discrete if you want to check the time in a meeting, or when you're talking to someone, unless you're antisocial enough to be one of these people constantly staring at their phone regardless of the social situation.
Suggesting $3k watches with bad grammar is FAILZ!
Plus the pastor seeing your face light during service might call you up to witness if he says the spirit in your eyes that day.
Oh the irony of these two sentences being typed at the same time.Suggesting $3k watches with bad grammar is FAILZ!

Nope. I'm confused why people would want to dig a phone out of their pocket when they can just have the time on their wrist.
There's all sorts of situations where I don't have my phone with me, so the watch is good to have.
What watch did you end up with?so, my catholic wedding is in a few weeks.
last weekend my mom asked me "have you thought about what would you like to receive as a wedding present, for yourself" (as in, not like a washer/dryer for the house).
i said "anything you give me will be great, mom".
so my mom told me how my dad got a pretty kickass watch when they got married, and that she thought it would make a great present for me too.
she said, considering how i always liked my dad´s ss daytona, she thought of 2 stainless steel sports watch i might like.
she said she has thuoght about a steel rolex submariner or a omega speedmaster (i like the white face with black small dials, but i dont know if i can find one )
she asked which one i´d prefer, or if i liked another. i also like iwc.
submariner. there is also a nylon strap (nato style) available which is pretty sweet.
speedmaster. i like this combination, although am not sure they still make this one.
i also like iwc, though not sports watches.
the portuguese (one of the least expensive versions, sans complications)
and the portofino.
picks? suggestions?
Sweet! I love watches! About 4 years ago I bought a Daytona, of course the following year Rolex came out with the ceramic Daytona which I’ve been searching for. I’ve been on a waiting list for one for 2.5 about years now. I don’t want to pay grey market prices. I also have my grandfathers/dads 1803 Day/Date, but seldom wear that one.
Buy them in Lima, or in Europe. Rolex controls the supply in the US, but steel Daytonas are normally in stock in Lima.
A friend of mine has a ceramic/platinum Daytona here. It was in stock.
You could probably buy Daytonas for US MSRP or maybe a bit less.
There is a pretty cool jewerler at the airport in Amsterdam. Lowest prices I´ve seen on high end watches. They can charge your card in whatever currency you want and have pretty much all the cool stuff in stock. Gassan is the name, if I recall correctly. Euro/USD is low right now, and its tax-free if you are boarding a plane out of the EU.
I have gotten a couple watches off Wish recently. They are all less than $15 as I lose and break stuff far too often.
Casio G-Shock.
A platinum Dayton is too much for me to drop on a watch at this moment. I went to half a dozen Rolex dealers in Italy & Greece over the summer and they had nothing as far as a SS ceramic Daytona. I am also on the quest for my birth year (1966) Submariner. The search goes on.
So another watch came up on wish, so I saved it. Then (as it often happens) it showed up on the blitz buy 5% off and I had another coupon I needed to burn, so I ordered it. If it's legit, I am going to freak out (and likely get a few).
This is what it's supposed to be. Titanium for comfort.

Time fucking flies huh?
The gift of time cannot be measured or put on display. That is all. For today. Unless I get drunk.

I didn't pay anything close to that. It was actually cheaper than my old fake Rolex, that was how I justified it.
