WRIST-WATCH PICTURES of watches costing more than $5000+ ONLY

Jeff, where did you buy that? Tapper's?

 

i agree with art...i'd be willing to pay for function, not for bling...just my $.02

 

Art: amny enthusiasts go for brilliance of design and functionality. Look at some of the Breguets, Pateks, etc. Sheer magic.

At Darakjian Jewelers on Northwestern Highway. They have a great selection of watches, including quite a few APs. I've never even been in Tappers, although I've heard about it a few times (I think they're less than a mile away from Cauley Ferrari).

 

This is a serious question...

What should I buy..

1) AP Royal Oak
2) GP Pour Ferrari Chronograph
3) IWC Portuguese

...

Really like all three, but would have to limit myself to one. (For everyday use).

Any thoughts / suggestions / experiences would be appreciated..

Thanks, John

 

I think it's a toss-up b/w the IWC and the AP. Which Portuguese did you have in mind? Which RO? I like the Off-shore ones better, personally.

--Dan

 

I have all three. All different.The GP is sporty on a black rubber strap. The Portugiser Rattrapante is rose gold / white face on a dark brown strap, dressy. The AP RO is yellow gold / black face on a light brown strap, casual.

Tough choice for only one. Would you consider a SS IWC Dopplechrono on a bracelet? ALL three. Sporty, could be dressy or casual.

You know, stuff like this makes me feel much better about myself.

Some times I worry that I'm spinning out of control, and then I see a $45,000 watch and I feel so normal and ordinary....

I did have a watch but misplaced it. Anybody seen a calculator Casio around here?

 

I really love watches. These are absolutely awesome. The pink gold one (or is it?) is amazing. (btw, I guess that's where the 5k limit comes in, we want to see fine watches, not crappy Timex...)

Don't know much about them though. Not even enough time to learn as much as I'd want on cars and bikes ...

I highly doubt I'll ever get a 45g watch ... the only watch that withstood an everyday use has been a *cough* Casio G-shock *cough* (no, I won't even bother to post pics! haha). And I'm the kind of guy to use the stuff I like day in and day out. If it withstands the abuse, I love it, if it doesn't, I say it's crap and dump it!!

Not big into the rocky watches, but most of the simple "old" look are my style!!

 

Not a collector per se, yet truly appreciate the ART and ingenuity. Pateks, old Omegas, etc. reside here, as does the Swatch mechanical "Body and Soul".

The below is under $5k (please don't flame me), yet very rare Nixie tube watch (using New Old Stock 1968 vintage Nixie tubes). Yes, tubes for a wristwatch Have the very last one ever produced (a run of 25 i believe).

 

I love watches too. My wife doesn't understand it until I point out her love of jewelry and I explain that this is my jewelry. But I haven't graduated to the upper echelon yet. The most expensive one I own is a $1000 Movado and she thought I was crazy buying that one. Otherwise I wear a simple quartz chronograph daily, but some of those Pateks I just love. I also really want a Tag Heuer Carrera, but even that isn't $5k.

Beautiful watches, nice thread.

My Watch isn't good enough for this thread (breitling Colt Automatic), But my Dad has one watch that is just under the 5k an IWC Portuguise(sp) Schaufan(sp) Stainless steel, a two tone submariner, and he just got a Panerai luminor Marina 44mm in gold with the carbon fibre face one of 400 in the world. He is wearing that watch now, but I will take a pic of the other two.

The Pics aren't that great I didn't feel like taking the watches out of the winder.

First off as an owner of a Panerai I would never consider them Bling at the same time they have been featured in several Arnold SCHWARZENEGGER movies like the Eraser. Here’s a pic of the governor wearing his Panny.

LOL Hey Steven both watches are very interesting but that krusty guy - is that a polaroid of you when the beyatch snatched your license.

These timepieces are works of art but i lose too many timex's too ever care too spend big bucks on one.

The below pic is how i looked. Fight authority

Go ahead, take my license. Are you feeling lucky punk? Well, do you?

 

It would be a sin for me to own a nice watch...
I'm so rough on watches, my wife buys me 2 new watches each year,
one dress and one casual. And when the everyday casual watch is trashed then I just wear the dress watch everyday.

 

Then get a Panerai they are indestructible with a 3.7mm sapphire crystal and constructed for Military use you would have a hard time dinging or scratching one much less breaking one.

 

the most beautiful watches in the world in my opinion are Rolex

(1) The daytona with champagne face and black small dials (18 K gold)

(2) The 18 K Rolex gold submariner with blue face

(3) The Presidential in 18 K.

My 2 c worth. Hope no one gets offended from this post.

 

Here is one of mine.
