If was going to go gold Rolex it would have to be this one:

Ooof, very nice. A friend has one, I've been tempted more than once to mug him for it!

I do like those,which is that by the way?

Yacht-Master 40 in Everose gold 116655.

It's a solid gold case and clasp, stunning!

I like that. A lot.

A Cartier Tank of some description, for those rare special occasions. Two hands, on a bracelet, probably yellow gold.

I'm not the greatest fan of Rolex, but if I did go for one it'd have to be this. Looks superb and very subtle on how much gold is showing. Reminds me of a 911 Carrera in that if your going to buy a rear engined German car you might as well get the best one around otherwise everyone will ask if you only bought the Cayman because you couldn't afford a 911. Avoid the turbo though (aka gold daytona) because it's trying too hard on the image side and is a pointless thing to drive anyway.

Edit: apologies to steel Rolex owners and gold daytona's, everyone's choice is entirely their own and is influenced by so many things that a rational judgement is impossible. Steel Rolex's are very nice, but just not my thing.

Second edit: an apologies to 911 turbo and cayman owners! They're both way better than my current car so I'm not really in a position to criticize them. I did teach my wife to drive in a 911 carrera 27 odd years ago though, and can attest to it superb driving school qualities - she used to put it in 3rd and leave it there no matter what speed she was driving.

I could go on, but all my cash is going on DIY at the moment. Renovating a house appears to be expensive.

There are three......

This one - that I can afford but can't find ANYWHERE. It has to have the creamy yellow face & the brown leather strap.

It a hamilton Xwind - i think when i get it it'll be far to big for my tiny wrists and i'll hate it.



This - Again I could push too, I just haven't but I don't know why. Maybe I don't really want to spend that much. Has to be the mesh strap.



and finally this one.... needs to be a 1981 model year, perspex, manual wind etc.

Quote myself....

18 months down the line - I now own number two, still haven't located number one, and haven't blown the savings on number three yet.

[JackReacher]

Chronoris for me.

This one keeps tempting me

[AmosMoses]

Gotta be a 42mm AP Royal Oak Offshore.

Don't think i can pull it off with a sub 6" wrist...

Often and for a long time been tempted by one but I just don't think I'd wear it enough to justify it and I really can't be arsed winding a watch up every day.

[anonymous-user]

This for me.

I like smaller, fairly lite watches. And this thing.

Haha, Well, since this thread has recently been revived. I didn't go for the Monster ultimately. Tried on a SKX013 and absolutely loved it, a year after the rattly bracelet was swapped out for a NATO. Only downside being I literally haven't worn anything else since.



Next on my radar is an Orient Bambino. They recently released their latest revision with an open heart which, I know is very marmite but I absolutely love the look of it. As of right now I do not own any dress watches.

Definitely on my radar. Right alongside the white 'snoopy'.

[Ibmarkprior]

I'm very much a watch newbie. Appreciating the good stuff but in reality on a low budget.

Currently i only have a vintage 1960 Tudor which is a family keep sake. A Camden Watch Co no.88 KPP and a Citizen Promaster Diver as daily's.

I've really got my heart set on a Seiko Alpinist which is big budget for me. I love the almost Britsh Racing Green face.



Any opinions from those in the Know? Is it junk masquerading as a nice watch or is it actually reasonable for the outlay.

Its not big money at below £500 but if i'm spending the money it would be nice to know its not utter garbage.

IWC Aquatimer Chrono.

Been kicking myself for not buying one almost 10 years ago now when I saw a new one up for $4,500 in Dubai airport.

Yes, I've been having a similar feeling after being offered one of these in Vegas for $4,200

[chris56]
