Thoughts on this?

[m3sye]

I really would like a new sporty type watch and I love the bulkyness of this

What is the general thoughts on these watches?

I can think of other watches I would spend £5k on.... but if you like it...

I like the brand, some lovely pieces...but this one is a touch on the busy side for me, 3 tone bracelet does not help it....

It's up to you, but for £5K, you can get a much better watch from a better maker for that sort of cash. Especially if you go pre-owned.
If your into Chronos then find yourself a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph in SS. I had one for a while, build quality of an Audemars Piguet, Movement fit & finish as good as if not better (in this case) than a Patek Philippe.
See,


Also VC make all their movements in-house so you'd have a genuine complete package. AFAIK RW use ETA movements (nothing wrong with that) but for £5K I'd expect more for my money

Good choice! i'd choose the VC over the Nabucco too

I have been offered a 2nd hand one for 1200.00, does that change things?

Bit "meh" (my opinion clearly worth every penny that you are paying me for it lol) but at £1200 it's a bit more easier to accept then at £5k.

Since you ask: Not for me at £1200.
As for £5,000!!!!

from 5k new to £1200 second hand buy a 2.5k submariner it,ll be worth 2k or more in 10 years

Its not just about the value to me, its what I like, I have tried it on before and I really liked it on.... not that arsed if it loses money tbh as I will keep it...

They are generally around 3k in the shops, not sure where the 5k price has come from.

Not really asking for peoples opinions on if they 'like' the look of it, more will it last etc and are Raymond Weil watches any good or are they prone to breaking down etc ?
