The Perfect Timepiece

[edmond]

My grandpa had this rolex his dad bought him when he turned 18, he wore it all his life. At around his mid 50's he had some money trouble and sold it off to a friend so he could pay for my dad's education. When he was 64 he died of a heart attack and at his funeral his friend (the watch one) went and gave the watch back to my dad, said my dad should have it, not him. I was looking at my dad's watches the other day and it made me all nostalgic, it was way weird.

they're a bit overhyped and not timeless enough.

and i hate the bs fake history that this brand wants to create.

If money was no object, and you could buy one watch, what would it be?

since money is no object, i would have to get something really simplistic looking, with a ridiculous movement. this joints 88k so i doubt ill ever own one but whatever.

Well if money is no object then It would have to be one of these three.

Br 03 Tourbillon

Hublot Big Bang

Zenith Defy Extreme

Also for those of you that want a fancy watch without the fancy price tag, I just came accross this site, its probably totally sketchy, but Im tempted none the less.

im not too demanding so a richard lange and a 2006 carerra rose gold will do it for me.

i'd go for the IWC Exupery one. Nice and classic with great meaning attached to it. it's relatively cheap as well if you don't go gold, less than 5 or 6 i think.

Id totally forgotten about the Uhrwerk, those are really something else, but the price tag is truly ludicrous.

It says "if money was no object..."

The mechanism is something else. It blew my mind the first time I read about it. It has to be an ultimate nerd watch.

Definitely one of the ultimate horology geek watches, although this one does give it a run for its money
