The Watch Appreciation Thread - Page 484

I honestly had never heard of Gerald Genta so thanks for explaining that to me. There is too much going on there. Plus, it looks like a Longines/Brietling clone. And for 7K you can do MUCH better.

This is a better option IMHO, less busy design & probably a third of the price:

Thank you

Paging GDL. GDL to the Watch P0rn Thread.

- I then see that you took it all in good stride, so

- this man know his stuff
- on a side note, I think a lot of people go gaga about certain watches only because of the brand or the unattainable.

Or maybe because they genuinely like the watch in question?

While I really like gdl's Longines chrono, I do prefer the design of the B+M. But, as I said earlier, $7K is ridiculous.

Current favorite.

Ummm, is this a troll? The lubricants need to be replaced every few years. Did you disclose to the buyer that the watch was damaged due to lack of proper service? Also, it sounds like the Omega is coming up on its service interval now...

Most def a repost, but here goes I love Oyster cases, whatever name on the dial!

I haven't seen a JWC I've liked on aesthetics alone but this one is quite nice. Why the 3 crowns? start/stop, reset, time-set? Does anyone have any thoughts on Steinhart? I really like their Aviation GMT Automatic and am considering it for my first mechanical. Just am not 100% on the four allen looking bolts on the top being shinier than the matter watchcase.. Also thinking it may be a tiny bit too big for my wrist (19cm all the way around, 6-6.5cm looking down at it). Also wondering about the GMT functionality - I think the fourth hand has a different dial than the third hand.. at least it seems to point to the 24 hour coordinates on the raised dial, so a 6pm position for the third hand would be 12:00 (so midday) for the fourth hand. Would that be correct or am I missing something? Photos linked directly from: http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index...D=25&lang_nr=1

It wasn't in the user's manual; maybe it's common knowledge among watch enthusiasts, but I didn't know anything about it at the time. In any case, I wouldn't have expected that it would have such consequences.

Was your dad in the CIA or an operator or something? .. actually don't answer that I don't want to know :P -- nice rolex/sentimental value. I really like this look/period for rolex actually.
