I have a Hamilton Khaki its a good watch, swiss ETA movement.

Dream watch would be Rolex GMT or Submariner. Cant go wrong with those.

Never got the hype with Rolex, overall I find them too flashy and not something I'd wear in a formal setting, or otherwise. I'm truly in love with Omega and Tag Heuer.

My favorite by far is the Link Ayrton Senna 2004 limited edition.

Tag, Rolex, Omega and now Panerai. Just mass marketed bullshit watches you can buy at your local Costco. Come back when you guys buy real watches and not just brand names.

As is anything else.let me guess you would only wear patek?we like them so we discuss them.even if i was a miliionaire i would still buy these watches as i dont find pp,ap, jlc etc... To be good looking watches,i like sport watches that look the part.

Patek is nice, but I prefer IWC, jaeger lecoultre or Hublot, but hublot has become too ghetto life.

I was in the Millennia Mall in Orlando the other day and decided to get a new watch. Nothing too expensive, set a limit of $5000 and set out looking for a white faced chronograph with black leather strap. Nearly bought a Mount Blanc at $4200 then I spied a great looking watch in the next display cabinet. Never heard of the brand before and when I tried it on I expected it to be more than the Mount Blanc.
Turned out it had a retail of $599 and the shop guy sold it to me for $380 because it was old stock.

I fuckin love it and everyone asks what it is which never happens with my old gold Rolex or any of my other 20+ watches.
Bulova's Precisionist chronograph.

What U think??

Yes, those Mount Blancs are nice. Shame you can't get a Mount Blanc at Kohls like Bulova though.

I think this is the Mont Blanc that originally caught my eye.

I picked up a Milgauss not long ago, needed an understated watch for everyday use.

What kind of jobs do you guys have that you can afford to spend $5K plus on a watch? Are you getting the Chinese high grade counterfeits at a discount?

robcguns · « **Reply #67 on:** September 10, 2015, 03:55:38 PM »

Ive been buying and selling watches for many years so i make money that way,i traina couple people in home and get paid very well for that.I gamble a few days a week and i get alot construction work that i sub out.I dont make alot but i make pretty good money and i dont buy fancy clothes or cars,i spend on my family,vacations watches and tvs.basically im always grinding away at something.everybody spends differently,i a guy who has a 100k vette and a 60k bmw,another that has a couple boats and another that is all clothes,i like watches.you find a way to make things work with the money you make i guess.

Owned IWC and JLC and prefer the other brands. IWC had crappy resale too and bought it used.

I, for one, am extraordinarily happy with this one.

Was a bit apprehensive because I'm not a fan of Quarz movements, and this has to use one for technical reasons, but it's a great watch.

Sinn has some nice looking watches.Never had one but there have been some that have caught my eye.
