that makes a lot more sense, but there are some JLCs, IWCs, and others right in that range, maybe a tad higher that have beautiful movements as well. but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
again, no offene meant.

Oh I understand! No offense taken. I think the Watch P0rn threak could always use more discussion. Yeah, DB's definitely aren't finished as well as many of the other 'higher tiered' brands, but I think for the pricepoint they are very nicely finished. I definitely agree with JLC, but I find IWC's movements to be a tad... uninspiring, save for their upper echelon that actually does use in-house movements. And that is very true, beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder.

You can get a 7-day for less than 10k. I still have a hard-on for the Glashutte Panomatic Lunar. ******* WANT that watch.

+1. The GO PML is my current grail. I am so tempted to try to snatch that watch on the grey market.

glad non was taken, and for the most part i agree with you on the IWCs. their lower level watches do have a simpler looking movement.

i posted this a while ago. but since you mention grail, even tho i have more grail watches than i could count, i still have a serious hard on for this guy.

Man that is one wonderful looking watch! That is the one tough part about watches I think. At least with shoes you can really get anything that you want with a little saving. With watches there just isn't enough time to save enough income!

^That and the stowa marine original look so similar

Speaking of Stowa, I love these 1938 Chronos but with the Valjoux 7753 are they worth $2500 US?

In B-more many houses are less than half a mil. In NYC, many studio apts are more than half a mil.

haha both true.

sooo....many watches i want cost many hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. this equates to different size real estate holdings depending on your geographical location. that better?

Honestly, I just do not see the appeal with that watch, especially at that price point. For 1500, maybe. 2500 is definitely not worth it.
