The Perfect Timepiece

[englandmj7]

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

Mine:

Jaeger Le-Coulter Master Compressor Chronograph

Retail: $20,000

This watch isn't absurdly lavish, and can be found for alot less than it's MSRP, but goddamn do I love it........

[Michael Hunt]

20 big ones is not overly lavish!!

jeez dude, i need to gets me in the same line of business as you bro.

nice watch though, mine would be a rolex daytona in white gold if we are allowed to dream here.

[yamakazi18]

oh man. a casio would do it for me, i'm not big on watches (yet). nice watch for 20k though...my car is worth like half that.

He heh; I don't own this watch.........

Post your 'dream' watch. You don't have to own it!

I'm just saying that if you could have ANY watch, a $20,000 one isn't as lavish a choice as say, a $250,000 Patek Phillipe tourbillon.

[polishmike]

Right now I would get Patek Philippe 3738/100g

[snugglepony]

that watch is class, but i'd swap out the (faux?) alligator strap for calfskin or cordovan(!).

[red]

probably this:

or maybe this for 65000

[englandmj7]

DEFINITELY real alligator.

Dunno about this calfskin or cordovan business......do they even make cordovan watchstraps?

[snugglepony]

certainly!

i don't know why... i just can't get down with the gator.

[ayn]

red: great choices!

I'll probably take the datograph myself. but that is not all that crazy at around 40k... so if money really was no object, I think I'd take a sky moon tourbillon or something like that...

[retrored]

has anyone seen the new Zenith Defy Extreme. I think that is what it's called. Looks pretty dope, and that crown guard might give PAM a run for its money.

+1 ayn.... love the datograph.... at the price there are surely better deals/more watch for the money... but i do love the datograph...

[englandmj7]

Always loved Vacheron Constantin as well........oldest watchmaker in the world.

Malte Perpetual Calendar Chronograph.

$100K.

[ayn]

[DEPHT]

Probably either the Lange 1815 Flyback chrono, the patek 5070, 5970, 5078 or the 5002 sky-moon tourbillon.

[sean_]

oh god the red/ayn watches are fucking gorgeous. sign me up (when im loaded)

[Selegna]

gotta keep the pimp hand strong. ha!

[Vitamian]

Vintage 1940s Patek Philippe World Time:

Vacheron Constantin minute-repeating wristwatch with teardrop lugs from 1954:

I'm sure I can think of some others.

Otherwise, I hate large watches; I tried on some A.Langes and they were huge. The women's models were better for my wrist, incidentally.

[thescott]

PAM 163

[Vitamian]

Out of all the Panerais, I like the Radiomir:

[Guest mattes]

Vintage Rolex Daytona Big Red

[M4TM]

i could make do with a richard mille :

[Servo2000]

Not impressive technology wise, but the design is fairly excellent.

[superdupersang]

[nairb49]

I'm a sucker for vintage watches. That Patek looks tasty. need to get me one.

Feel free to PM me if you have some to sell.

[polishmike]

If money is no object, I would get this one. Just sold for $590,800

and others

[kakaro]

Casio retro "gold" watch

da shit

[Gilead]

I wear my grandfather's 70 year old rolex and I wouldn't trade it for anything else, if I had money though I'd send it off to rolex in america to get the strap cleaned or replaced and the front crystal replaced.

[Contingency Plan]

i gotta have that. any idea where to get it?

It's the reveal watch.
