The Watch Appreciation Thread - Page 483

Agree and agree.

I generally don't like Roman numeral dials, but this Lang & Heyne has a pretty remarkable dial. Pointer date, deadbeat center seconds, and power reserve. Amazingly, all in a 40mm case.

Only +/- $75K as well.

Each to their own but I must say that the Konrad der Grosse and the Pour le Mirete are two completely different watches all together. I think you can find both to own a special spot on your grail shelf.

I love the Richard Lange series and the spirit of which it was created. It is only natural that more complications are featured over time but I still love the first. But unfortunately, not enough and I have since moved on

Re: SIHH 2011

I've never been a big JLC fan but the Master Ultra Thin Moonphase is a good looking watch. The reverso tribute 1931 and reverso with the enamel dial (is the model called email?) are beautiful. I'd never considered a reverso before but I'd go after one of those 2 if the opportunity presented itself.

The VC Worldtimer is a beaut.

IWC's newest version of the handwound portuguese looks great. It's essentially the same as last year's model but without the different color subdial. If only it weren't 44mm.

Thanks for those who filled me in on those info on NATO straps, I really appreciate it.

I'm glad to see all of you have great looking watches, I'm sort of a beginner so I'll be around to learn from you guys. i will also be asking some questions that might consider to be common sense by some of you guys, haha.

Great strap, which model?

No, unfortunately Quite modern, sapphire, gloss dial and luminova 16710, from 2004.

Not mine, but neither are most p0rn objects PP 5296, my most recent infatuation. Anyone here own one? I would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm not a huge fan of tourbillons, but I really like this one as well. I quite like the integration with a regulator, the offset dials, and that VIII through X disappear the other 9 hours of the cycle to provide a full, unobstructed display.

That being said, my grail is still the Richard Lange PLM.

Really nice Nardin

Last few pages = amazing. I really liked almost every single watch posted.

Quite like the new B+M Capeland Flyback, but $7K for a B+M is a bit rich.

^^USD7K is very expensive for a B&M.

You should expect at least a 40% discount off retail. I'd wish Richemont would put their brands in their respective space. This kind of segment creep does no one any favours.

Yup, would much rather buy a Glashutte Chronograph XL at that price. The design of the B+M reminds me of Longines.

In late 98, I bought a B&M Capeland chrono, black face, great design. Then, 4 - 5 years ago, I wanted to have it checked out and I sent it to a B&M service center (it worked fine, but was starting to run a bit late). They told me the lube used had gunked up (wtf?!?!) and I would need to change the entire face of the watch - for a couple thousand dollars, IIRC.

Off to eBay it went, and I bought a Seamaster instead. I'll never buy B&M again, even though I think they have very elegant design. I still like the classic Capeland and Hampton models very much.
