Watch Aficionados?

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Got myself a seiko from the states.. It was on a ridiculous sale I couldn't pass up. Has timezones, an alarm and tachymeter.. It's a good start for a daily.. That U-Boat classico above is sexy as hell!

Panerai scandal:

They're putting knockoff level movements in their $5-9000 watches now.

This is an unstamped undecorated standard factory movement that would be in a replica or $200 watch.

Unheard of from any reputable watchmaker.

:(

I used to be against buying replicas but when it comes to Panerai I say go crazy, your replica may have better internals than the real thing!!! This is like buying a brand new Ferrari and under the hood it has the engine from a Golf.

That is pretty disappointing, always was a fan of Panerai's had hoped one would be my next major acquisition.

This Uniform Wares 250 series is a pretty nice and classic dress watch, Swiss ETA movement, sapphire crystal and not much more than $500.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Just came across this thread and love it. I don't own anything too extravagant but some pretty unique pieces. I'm really liking automatics and anything large and unique. Just picked up an Invicta Revolution and love it. Looking at maybe one of their Coalition watches next.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I have been drooling over the watches in this thread for a while now... I finally have something worthy of posting on this thread as I treated myself to a birthday/early Christmas present.

I personally love the look of most Richard Mille's saw a few actually being worn when I was in Asia and even saw a dedicated boutique in KL, complete with a guard carrying an M16. I would love to have one but need 5 figures to get into anything at that boutique.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I almost took the plunge in Paris this summer on a B&R BR 01 Red Radar. In the end... couldn't stomach the price.
Love the watch though!
