The Watch Appreciation Thread - Page 1145

very nice indy, and pretty cool over all. hate to sound like a snob, but i dont love the any of the fonts or the hands. the back and the movement are fantastic.





this. i think its a pretty watch as well. i love my B&M.

It has never given me any problems, with wearability, sweat, or anything.
If I swim in it, I just take the strap off the watch that evening to dry flat. Even though I'm sure it would make no difference.

Wow, thats a very young crowd to have knowledge of the brand.  In recent years they have tried to offer more that will appeal to a younger generation, but I think AP has been more successful at doing that. 

I really like the recent version of the Ingenieur.  Its a versatile design that will look great with casual clothes but will work well with a suit too.  Good luck!

Thanks dddrees.  Here is a quick wrist shot that really shows the layers or appearance of depth created by the stepped lugs, raised & angled bezel, and then the dial with sunken subdial.

 

 

The view from the back isn't too bad either .   The movement is based on a JLC Reverso movement.

 

^^ that is awesome^^

i love my 112

Its a very classic, handsome watch. 

 

Are you saying you feel like you over paid for it, because you think "It does not carry the same weight as many other watchmakers?  If you enjoy a watch thats what matters.  Even if hypothecially you bought a watch from brand that you feel is the top of the line, there will always be models even within that brand, which are more complicated, more exclusive, and considered more special.  If a watch suits your needs and serves you well, that is what is important. 

FWIW I'm not a fan of B&M. I still have mine but almost never wear it. It needed pretty intensive servicing within a year of purchase, and I got nothing but flak from B&M about what was in warranty and what wasn't. After all was said and done I ended up with a watch that kept crap time and whose chronos kept malfunctioning. I won't be buying another watch from them, but keep the one I have as it was a graduation present.

All that said, yours looks very nice, Romeo.

Thanks Stitch. 

Glad to see you are still in love with your Panerai, its a beauty.

+1 great choice on the Ingy 3227-01...I'm looking forward to seeing the newest iteration of the Igenieur whenever it reaches a local AD.

Great snaps of your VC, Dino. That caseback very much resembles a Reverso movement, although I couldn't tell you which one.

And this is my only barrel-shape, although I think of it more as a casual watch than a true dress piece, despite wearing it with suits quite a bit.. (apologies if I've posted this pic before).

It doesn't compare horologically to a Patek, but it's one of my favorite designs, and now my only Cartier after trading in my Tank Francaise:

^^ that is a nice roadster ^^

thanks, dino. i enjoy it more each day.

Hi Keith, very nice Roadster.  Its great seeing some watch cases in shapes besides round owned by other regulars here at SF.  As you mentioned the Roadster is definitely a bit more sports watch than pure dress watch (especially compared to its siblings such as the Tortue or the Tonneau).  Still the sportiness (and the quick change bracelet/strap) really makes it an incredibly versatile watch.  I'm a big fan of Cartier, although some see them just as a jeweler rather than a watch company, they have made some great contributions to the watch world, particularly their single pusher chronographs.  Also the LC Tank is IMHO one of the most elegant designs of all time and the ideal rectangular watch ...although I may be a bit biased as I have an LC Tank XL. 

Very cool, thanks for the extra wrist PIC.

And it's pretty easy to see why.

 

 

Very nice sir.

thanks, trip D.

just ran across this on tumblr. i think its really cool, and id consider getting one even.
