Beautiful. My grandfather bought almost the exact same watch around the same time. Cherish it.

Thanks, I absolutely will cherish it.

On another note, would anyone have any suggestions here in Houston to have it appraised so I can insure it? Thanks.

Next two planned watch purchases are: 1) for my fiance and 2) for my fiance and I to share.

I wanted a yellow gold watch to match my wedding band and Aggie ring. So, I bought a vintage gold capped Omega Constellation.

Must have missed this yesterday, but I love that watch. What size is it? Bet it was (relatively) budget friendly to.

Definitely budget friendly compared to a solid gold 40mm. It's from 1963 and 35mm. Think it was in the neighborhood of $3,500 a couple of years ago. They are readily available.

My wife was in Houston today and bought herself a used Roadster. Hobby is 2x expensive when your wife likes watches too...

My wife really wants one of the pink roadsters, but it's a lot of money for a quartz watch for someone who wears their apple watch 95% of the time

For sure. I wouldn't have a problem pulling the trigger if she'd actually wear the damn thing instead of sitting in the drawer most of the time.

Same. My wife won't wear anything but an apple watch but does love stacking love bracelets.

I've tried to get my wife to look at getting a nice watch to replace her Citizen but haven't been successful. She's mentioned that she isn't interested in having to reset it every time she decides not to wear it for a few days, and as much as I like the look of a Panthere I can't get there on spending $5,000 on a quartz watch.

buy her a $50 winder

"I don't want a bunch of clutter on my nightstand."

Unfortunately my realtor didn't advise me to look for a house with power outlets in the master closet.

Look at Mozsly Watch Winders. You can get a double for like $120 or something. It also takes batteries.

There! Now you are out of excuses!

ha...I had the same problem. I ran some conduit through the wall behind my dresser in the closet and fed into the outlet in the game room. Pretty fancy!

As far as those Cartier dress watches. I wouldn't stress about the quartz. Those watches are beautiful, and you're basically buying a fine piece of jewelry with Cartier. The mechanics are mostly secondary.

20 years ago I bought my wife, then fiance, a relatively nice watch. It's been so long I can't remember the brand but I spent close to $1000 on it. For us at the time that was a big chunk of money for a watch.

She almost never wore it because she just doesn't often wear a watch and on our honeymoon she left it in the resort room safe along with a pair of earring she borrowed from her best friend because they must have somehow gotten underneath that crappy little piece of outdoor carpet that goes in all resort safes and she missed them when packing up to leave so that stuff was gone forever.

Now she has an Apple watch that she only wears occasionally. Usually just when exercising or when she has to go into the office.

I've mentioned getting her something similar to that Cartier above and she has zero interest whatsoever.

Wish my wife was the same, that would mean more money for me to spend on watches and fly rods.

How are you liking that Nomos Glashutte?

Caseback/movement view?

Very nice.

Still happy with it.

Beauty

Nice! Thanks!

Man, that's nice.

That is a really good looking watch.
