Very classic, a nice watch for sure!

A couple new limited edition B&Rs in a light grey colourway, like the power reserve myself.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I love watches, here's a pic of my 1962 Small Rose (7928) Tudor sub and a few pic's of my daily wearer 111 "homage"......nice way of saying non-branded rep!! It is pressure tested to 3ATM and the movement is a custom pvd coated CDG ETA (unitas) 6497....This one will have to do until I can dump 5K on a gen....soon I hope. I just ordered a Bond NATO strap for my sub...I'll post pics when I get it.

smstar......nice pana rep. I too have 3 Pana reps as I can't buy the real ones just yet.....



I also just finished building my drawer "watch box"..............
Kor, Close your eyes as there are a few reps in there. There are also a few real ones in the mix, can you spot the them? Thank God the Wife has no idea how much I spend on watches........

What are you using to hold the watches (the grey things)? I am in need of something similar but I don't have watch holders (I don't know what else to call them) for all of them.

p.s. I love the 51-30, I have the black/lime one.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

they are watch box pillows. I bought them from a guy on Ebay that was selling the boxes. He sold me the pillows for $.85ea + $5 shipping........

Dude if you didn't buy all those fakes you could buy plenty of nice watches, and support the business rather than some knock off built by little kids in a sweatshop in Malaysia....

Lots of great authentic watches out there without spending a fortune...

Don't understand the appeal of fakes. Rather wear a Seiko or a Tissot and have a quality beautiful watch that's genuine than put on a fake $10,000 watch... to fool people into thinking I'm richer or something? Or somehow smarter because a fake is cheaper?

Re: Watch Aficionados?

right, because the authentic watch companies are extremely moral and dont use sweatshops or slave labor in anyway to create their product ..... ?

I'm not a fan of fakes either.... I only have 3 watches - but all are real. With that said, I think your argument is a little off-base. For many people it has nothing to do with trying to look richer than they are - it's simply that they like the watch, and can't afford the real one.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

thats exactly it Liquid.......
I like watches and would rather spend $3k on 20 knock offs of which I can wear a different one everyday instead of the same 1-2. My concord or B&R Tourbillion reps for example are over $130k ea, I love that style but could never afford them, so for a butt load less I can enjoy looking at the fake. I in no way give anyone the impression that I have the real deal, if they ask if its fake I tell them. And don't forget, I still own the real B&R Phantom, and U-Boat which are well over the price of all my reps, so I think i've helped support the real watch industry as much as they need it.
