Watches again

I want.....



OR




thoughts??

Go for the Omega.


My bro just picked up a really nice Hamilton Khaki chrono. Nice watch.

I'm going to say go with the Omega as well. I love the Speedmaster. They've got a beautiful vintage 1968 Speedmaster at a shop down in the mall for 2500. Would you get the wind up or the automatic? If memory serves the former is more expensive.

You do realize the price difference betweem those 2 right? I'd not even consider them as alternatives to each other.

i used to like wearing a watch, then i fucked them up all the time.

screw it

that's why i have a $30 Timex, for when I'm doing shit with my hands.

Then I have a couple nice watches for when I go out.

Not Patek Philippe nice, but nice nonetheless.

They are alternatives when you havn't decided on your budget yet. Kind of like me and considering an Audi A5, or a used acura RSX.

Same. I have a work/ formal watch and a play watch.

I like that Omega a lot. How much?

Over $3000 CND from what I can recall.

I've personally really started to like the Tag Aqua Racer.

Wally, you don't race... especially on the water...

why not invest in some good scuba gear, or downhill skies instead.

I have good scuba gear. And I don't like skiing. Plus I'm learning to sail and I'm going start getting into kayaking more.

Ah, I figured scuba gear and ski equipment would be equally useless on the vast frozen tundra that is edmonton.

Sounds like the mrs. has you in 'orillia' training. Do you also sip your tea with your pinky out.

Its just under 2k GBP so i guess double that in canadian dollars? It's the best watch in the world aside from electronic ones.....but the Patek Phillipe is a Patek Phillipe. They're my two favourites....and one will be bought over the other.

Rod - Not really bothered what they cost...even though theyre miles apart.

Wally - Id get the wind up. I dont really like the reduced. I would also get a black leather strap i think

Pennz... if you don't care about the price, go for the patek man. It's a patek.

Yeah, that actually sounds about right. high $3000s here for the windup Speedmaster. i think the Automatic is a bit cheaper - mid to low 3s.

I agree with Rod. The Speedmaster is a beautiful watch. But it's still an Omega. It's still relatively common. If you can afford one, but not both, get the Patek. That's the sort of watch which is passed from generation to generation. It's a work of art.

i've been more into the non-chronos now.

really, really like this one:

Do I even want to know how much those cost?

probably not.

Aristotle wrote:probably not.

I just checked. More than my car. By a long shot.


yeesh.

hahaha yeah

the A Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Pour le Merite (which i copy/pasted) is pretty badass. it's not automatic, however, so i'm a little bit disappointed.

this isn't bad for a chrono

i like this one, too.

Aristotle wrote:i like this one, too.

Yeah, Baume and Mercier make some nice watched. Not absurdly priced either.

Holy shit! I found a watch for you Aris.

lllllllol

i still want the remote control watch by casio. that shit would rule.

Anyone see this new Porsche watch? $150,000. And just so you know it's not a typo, $150,000.

so it costs more than 90 percent of their cars. brilliant.

WTF how do they justify that price? The porsche brand? Rolex watches cost less. Even audemars piguet!

Gold? Diamonds? Platinum? Even Silver? No.

I don't get it. It's a joke.

the lange & sohne chrono i posted above is 100k.

watches are serious business.

i'd like to see how that mechanical stopwatch works on the porsche watch, though. looks cool.

Not that I am trying to justify the price, but I can't imagine the tolerances that go into making those gears.

number of complications....although i doubt porsche are that brilliant at them. rolex's are tacky imo

this fucking watch is $300k and it's fucking sold out. amazing. doesn't even TELL THE FUCKING TIME. WTF

here's a pic for the lazy

also, porsche doesn't assemble those watches; they only design them and contract it out.

Had to get the battery replaced in my DKNY watch the other day. Cost $20!

In the long run, you'll save money on the $100k wind-up watches above.

i'd steal and sell babies for the shit that romaine jerome puts out.

People would assume the face had fallen off your Timex. The decomposing appearance of the bezel doesn't help.
