u are a female who just entered demonito's radar. you will get molested.

[revoked]

i wanna wear it with jeans and shirts / riding my bike/ to work ( construction site) /and to functions /black tie affair/ business meetings .. so what do you guys think?

you're going to want two different watches for all of those things.

decide first which you need more: a sports watch like the rollie or a dress watch like the breguet

to be honest, not feeling any of the three you've posted.

[dizzhizz]

speaking of german made watches, does anyone have any experience with stowas? specifically the airmen no-logo?

[edmond]

ok then post your suggestions pics pls not over 8,000 bucks... im getting a used one..

i want something that wont drop its value even after 5 years

[ericdw]

problem is, watches don't appreciate... some lose value less than others. not many will keep it's value - daytona might if it's a white faced ss.

for your uses, i'd take that 8k and get two - one sport and one dress

for sport, maybe a sub or a SD, maybe a breitling?

for dress, maybe a a used villeret or a portuguese?

but if you insist on getting one, definitely don't get a dress watch. that breguet wouldn't last a day on a construction site, they're just not made to take a beating. go with a sport. maybe a DSSD? daytona if you can find one that isn't so ugly

[edmond]

i already have a sub and 3 more other datejust rolex

so getting a single tone daytona? this secific daytona i believe was mfg. before 2000 and uses the detuned zenith movement thats why im considering it.. what do you think?

[ericdw]

daytona with that movement is definitely a great watch... but i wouldn't b/c i just hate two tone so much. that's just imo though

if you have a sub and a few datejusts, i'd get a dress watch. i don't like the you posted breguet (b/c of the two different metals)... i'm a big fan of the port chrono for a sporty dress watch, white face will be dressy enough for a suit. the newest release - the handwound, i think only comes in ss with a black face, but it's sexy as hell. or maybe a white face breguet classique auto, a little out of your price range new (i think around 10 or so), not sure how much they run used. or maybe a villeret, but it's so light and thin that imo its pretty limited to only dressy occasions.

[revoked]

ericdw & I are thinking alike here....

since you already have so many sport watches, get a dress watch. i LOVE the IWC portuguese line, but so does almost everyone else in case that bothers you. (but judging from your rollie collection, it shouldn't)

perfect dress watches:

[ericdw]

i think the no-date is dressier

and this is the handwound. heat.

this is my dressiest watch. i almost never wear it though

you're mad chinese. you have made like 6 posts in this thread about the decision your facing in picking up a watch and only now you remember to mention that you already have 4 rolex? who in their right mind would even consider another rolex?

definitely go for the breguet.

[mr fluffernutter]

that means at least 2 are fake

I gotta check out the 1st maurice lacroix in person

[dunkin deeznuts]

jeez ed, you have three "sporty" rolexes already? you def need something a bit dressier than....

the IWC that revoked posted is pure SEX!

[edmond]

fuck you i dont wear fakes!

[edmond]

hmmm IWC? how about JLC?im considering jlc over the iwc..

[DaBestSpoona]

jlc too many people have iwc including me and dd

[ericdw]

and me. so good point. which jlc?

[edmond]

yeah which one?

[dunkin deeznuts]

eff a jlc

step up, sell a couple of your rolexes and get this

if its good enough for the terminator, its good enough for the demonitoooo

[ericdw]

i've always thought those APs are hideous. bolts? and two-tone at that. trainwreck.

[Egpt]

i really like the bolts on ap and iwc . the colors on that particular model do not appeal to me though

[revoked]

you guys would consider the ap a dress watch? i feel like it's more casual (not sports watch like a sub, but def. not a DRESS watch)

i think that's somewhere in between a dress and sports watch. it's too busy... a dress watch should be simple & classy

[dunkin deeznuts]

i didnt mean that exact AP model

I just posted a pic, i liek this one more

And i stopped listening to Ed cause he has no clue what he wants or needs

[DaBestSpoona]

i've always thought those APs are hideous. bolts? and two-tone at that. trainwreck.

they're in the same category of ugly as hublots, and bvlgari

[DaBestSpoona]

And i stopped listening to Ed cause he has no clue what he wants or needs

he does

he wants a watch that will exert power and respect when he's ordering a bunch of coolies around on the construction site.

[dunkin deeznuts]

there is room in every collection for a bit of excessive garishness

[arem]

Spoken like an ex-sneakerhead!

[lexishere]

What are peoples thoughts on these?
