The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

Fair enough which RLX floats your boat?

It's strange how perspectives change. I took these photos about 2 weeks ago, and thought that the first two were too small (36mm). But now they look great to my eye... I prefer the first two, and probably the first one the most.

Ahhhhhh, that Blackseal looks excellent

If only it were half the size.

Number 2 catches my eye the most. Sometimes there is a reason the classics are classic.

Looked at some Rolexes to get an idea of size and style that I like. Also tried on a Panerai. Liked the Rolies, not the Panerai...

Like the Milgauss on you a lot.

I agree...out of these photos I'm feeling the Milgauss most.

None of those look better than the Speedy, IMHO.

Ugh... I don't want to hear this.

The Speedy is a gorgeous watch.

@rydenfan so basically it's also going to replace the Bluetooth headset. Except for the hearing bit you'll need the Bluetooth headset. Cool. Anyway, here's another reasonably priced item from a massive manufacturing conglomerate. It has a column wheel. A blued one at that. Priced at just under $3k, what says the TWAT?

Spoiler: Sportier version - black dial on bracelet (sorry about the light, the bracelet is normal steel, not black)

Column wheel chronograph movement, based on the old ETA/Valjoux but made with this addition just for Longines. Feel the blueness:

Spoiler: Off-white dial, all sticks, croc strap - dressier version.

There are a lot of things in this world for $3k. But I do think these are rather nicely conceived, in either guise. Go on, let's have it...

I'm a sucker for column wheels

I also really like the Damasko DA36 as a "beater/tool" watch. Especially on their new bracelet...

 

[in stitches]

I like the Milgauss the most, but I think the Jubilee bracelet really works for Moo.

 

[Goodman]

Moo Are you still sticking with the "one watch" approach? If so, I would go Milgaus. I've tried on that Milgaus and really enjoyed it. You know I'm a Panerai guy but they are fairly polarizing and if it's not for you it's not for you. If I had to choose between the 36 inchers, I prefer the second one (silver dial).

I went in for a Milgauss back in 2010 and left with an Air King. Sticking with my "smaller is better" theme, I have a 35mm Nomos Orion on its way.
