This is a good looking watch.TheOC16 said:
Anybody need a bronze watch?
This one's totally unworn, full kit, so that patina is going to be all yours. And at $2,900, that's cheaper than I can find any USED models online.
How does the Black Bay compare to sports watch offerings from the luxury brand set (Rolex, Patek, Christopher Ward, etc)?
Nice troll attempt.

Now that is a list of luxury brands.

To balance the day's discussion…
First watch of the day was my $29 G-Shock Mud Resist which I wear when I'm duck hunting.
And last week I traded my Christopher Ward for this 34mm gold watch that's older than my dad:

That looks very similar to the watch I bought my girlfriend last year! We both love it and she gets more compliments on that from the big time "watch people" we know than I get on anything in my collection, including a Patek.
Hers game with a dark brown strap that I replaced with a much lighter custom strap for Christmas

I love all the old Omegas. My problem is so many of them are Frankenstein watches.
You would not have loved the fact that I bought it to wear with my tux.
But it slides neatly under the cuff, so you wouldn't have known.
And this one's all original.

You do you. Wear sneakers with a suit. A ball cap at church. Shorts while it's snowing. Linen in Feb. A red nose after work. whatever makes you happy.
Oh, we're doing lol poor watches? I can do that
Samurai? Nice
King samurai, because I'm a pinky up type. It comes with a rubber strap, but I prefer the stainless or nato
Hi, Farmer…
That's a fantastic 3rd deck game day watch. I'll be picking it up if I can find it

Hi, Farmer…
Great idea on the NATO, never thought that watch made any sense on the mesh it comes with
New addition in the works. I have placed an order for the beautiful Pennsylvania 801-ce triple enameled chronometer from RGM. The waiting time is 1 year!!! But will be well worth the wait when I get it
That is a beautiful watch.
That's a nice, classic time piece right there.

Beautiful watch, congrats.
I love my RGM, but it's a recased Hamilton not their own movement.
What pushed you toward the enamel over guilloche?

Wait….what?
Congrats. I'm jealous.
I have an RGM 222 with a caliber 923 movement, which is a recased Hamilton pocket watch. Roland Murphy was a Hamilton guy.
And what was the deciding factor between the 801-CE and the 801-E ?

The E is gorgeous, but the CE has a more classic look.
Both are nice.

Thanks man. I'm not a huge fan of guilloche although I appreciate the craftsmanship, just a personal preference. I like the cleanliness of the marine chronometer look, this will replace my Nardin when it comes in

It took me a minute to appreciate Farmer's completely blunt statements and thoughts on watches. This is the "high end and luxury watch" forum so technically I can't fault him for calling certain watch brands trash. He's just doing his thing.
I'm sure he's as sweet as a Georgia peach in real life.
Except what he says doesn't line up with the world's opinion of high end and craps on anything not "ultra luxury "
I'd take a Ball watch over quite a few of those "entry level" watches. I'm a little biased as I own 2, but from a quality stand point and their movements I think they far exceed a lot of other brands priced a bit higher. They just don't have the namesake some of these other brands do.

Not really. Again, it's a chart from a similar thread to this one I have nothing to do with.
It's a conversation starter. The entire point is luxury and value is subjective. So it's pretty close on the low end and high end and everything in the middle depends on the individual watch and person being willing to justify the cost.
Feel free to try and find a better one. I'm all for it.

It's not a personal indictment on you.

Good to see Zenith getting some love although not sure I would put Brietling in their company.
