New game day watch inbound. Got this baby brand new for 50% off msrp.

Parmigiani's quality is absolutely amazing but it charges an armload and hasn't gotten the respect it deserves yet.

I just went down a rabbit hole and found a Breitling that is similar to this. Looks like this thread is going to cost me some $$$$. Thanks.

I tell you which breitling I have been liking, the new limited edition USA only rose gold super Chronomat with blue face.

Waaay too expensive at msrp, might grab one lightly used if they exist in a few months

I'm very limited in my watch game knowledge, but I'm learning as I go. I think these were made in the 90s. The new ones are rose gold and I don't like them as much, at least the pics I have seen.





And this

Nice thanks. I really like the maroon leather strap one. That's Aggie through and through with the gold

I tell you what though, I have never said this before but I think I could sell my entire collection and be happy with this one. It has been to 7 countries now. Going to add an 8th in mid August (going to visit a customer in Quebec just as an excuse to attend the Beterbiev fight on the weekend).

That's a great looking piece. The two tone definitely looks better on this one than the solid gold. Wrist pics when it comes in

I looked at that one too. I didnt feel good about that being the only watch with a price tag above $300 on his site.

I was not a fan of this watch, but it has grown on me in the last few years. Nice change of pace from a lot of the buys on here.

I don't normally care for square-type watches and at first i was the same with this. But it slowly grew on me. Something less common, but with a pretty sizable heritage. Also, i liked the unique bracelet features.

I really like that one. I have had my eye on the rose gold one. I actually had it purchased from Cartier and then cancelled when they said 8 month delivery

You buy a watch like that you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh it looks good on you though.

Different strokes. Some people think a solid gold or rose gold requires a matching track suit and chest hair.

I personally like my bluesy. Although I probably would only purchase a two tone again if it was an iconic presidential. Otherwise I'd rather white gold or steel.

I come seeking the wisdom of this board for ideas for a milestone watch. I am looking for a dress watch, preferably something I can pair with a brown leather band and no more than 40mm. White or silver dial. I'm hoping to stay under $3500.

It's most likely going to be an early 2024 purchase, so I'm just doing a bit of homework now. I've always been drawn to the Omega De Ville line, but the Baumer & Mercier recently caught my attention. What else should I be looking at in this vein?

Omega De Ville Prestige (would swap the band on either)



Baumer & Mercier Classima 10214

My suggestion to everyone looking for a non dive or chrono in the 3-5k range.

Thanks. I'm really digging several of the Portofino models on the IWC site. I must admit that I'm not as familiar with IWC as a brand. Is it comparable to Omega in terms of quality?
