Vacheron Constantin Overseas

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

Looks interesting and feels very cheap.

can be purchased here

After a really long wait, my poljot diver is finally here and I couldn't be happier. This thing is a monster at 44 mm, here pictured next to what I previously found to be a huge watch (40mm hirsch flieger)

^^ Looks great man.

I just bought this Carrera two days ago:

[retrored]

nice pick up england. usually not a fan of Tags, but i make an exception for the carrera and the monaco. did you get the ss bracelet, or the rubber strap? regardless, good choice.

Thanks man. Don't really like Tags other than the Carrera myself.

It came with the rubber strap. Think I'll keep with that one.

I always go back and forth on what watch I would choose, but right now I am really infatuated with this Cartier asymmetrical tank.

Some of these time pieces are v.nice as objects/artifacts. I'm curious, do you view them in isolation (from your overall style)?

[nairb49]

Personally yes, I do tend to choose which watch I wear with certain articles of clothing. I don't think a huge Panerai would really go with my overall style, but I do like the watch.

I'm thinking of getting a new watch, but have never really been able to bite the bullet in purchasing a real "timepiece".

Suggestions for a starter piece, shall we say, <1000, leather strap, not a big clunky one? Preferably a bit more on the classic side...

[goldengloves]

I'm the same way as Nairb. I actually bought a fake Panerai to test it out and I never wore it. It just didn't fit into my aesthetic and it felt way too big! (Glad I didn't buy a real one)

Right now I only have one watch (which was passed down to me by my Father) and I wear it all the time. But maybe some day soon I'll get another nice timepiece.

red and blacks my favorite of the lot.

I like the first one -- has a bit of Sinn/Bell&Ross to it. Do you know offhand what the overall diamater is?

EDIT: nvm it says 50mm. Too huge for my girlish wrist.

The choice of typeface is very important imo.

I bought a U Boat and it was shit. Had it replaced twice and ended up getting my money back. Let the buyer beware!

[moondog]

my grandpa has this awesome watch his father got from the war. Its gold with with white numbers and the second hand doesnt tick, it just goes around really smoothly. Its really classy and yet intresting, i dont really know the best way to describe it, but i really like it.

[likewtfyo]

I wonder what makes the perfect time piece? the way it's constructed? the parts used?

I know nuts about watches, but i do wanna learn more, what makes this timepieces that exquisite? that unique?

Timepiece which you feel is perfect for you, is the one and only perfect timepiece.

pure watch porn

on a less refined but hella more expensive way, that one is hot

[KidDynamite]

Pretty much any Patek Philippe.

[drgitlin]

I think red killed it on page 1. Either of those Langes would do for me.

[quacks]

If only the titanium wasn't such a bitch to maintain....

[shopace]

That PP Aquanaut gets my vote.

[hysterics]

nice quacks. although i'm partial to the alinghi team in rose gold myself, i do like the barrichello II..

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.
