Well loved milgauss. 2010 warranty card. Full links. Crystal has tiny chips on outside edge in three spots almost impossible to see. I can get it polished to look minty for $175.

Watch and warranty card As is - $8000

Any opinions on Ulysse Nardin? I'm looking for a GMT and really like the simple functionality of this watch.

Love the luminors too but they are slightly out of my budget.

Ulysse Nardin is an OG heavyweight that is respected but flies a bit under the radar mainly as they've gone towards the Hublot-Tag "skeletonize everything and add carbon fiber" trend towards sports watches. I still like a lot of their classical pieces, and the fact they've been making them for 180 years is awesome

Just went to their website and came across their Classico collection. Kid you not, there are watches with mermaids going down on women on the face of their watches. Bold move Ulysse…

Anyone have any more thoughts on Christopher Ward? I saw a discussion a few pages back on their new diver. Been thinking about pulling the trigger.

I would say right now that Christopher Ward is setting the standard for microbrand success. They are popular and have carved out a nice niche in the lowest tier of the luxury market. Their prices are very affordable (comparatively) and you get brand recognition with a quality watch.

Thanks sillian. Been comparing it to the Runabout limited edition from Frederique Constant, which I can get new for 1800 or so, in case you have any thoughts…

Tiniest dude ever or biggest 42mm watch ever. Also, they need people better at photoshop.

Ha yep, just the worst PS ever. Looks really sharp on wrist. Almost bought it on a trip to Italy when I was in travel mode. Wised up and slept on it, but haven't stopped thinking about it. It's a very sharp watch at that price point. I wouldn't buy at the 3100 retail mark, but it can be found for 1800-2200.

FC is a great brand as well, not a micro brand as they're owned by Citizen I believe, but known for making very high quality watches at a good price.

I prefer a dive watch over a racing inspired Chrono. The CW is a heck of a lot of watch for less than $900. Decorated and personalized movement, exhibition caseback, 300m of water resistance, ceramic bezel; the only area that I find lacking is in the power reserve, but there have to be trade offs.

I like how they are pushing the envelope with those sharks, too. We are going to almost suggest bestiality, but not quite go there and tone it down with mermaid porn.

Craziest watches I've ever seen. WTF?!

Lol.
