end for quick n' dirty pic =)
So I know there's another "first watch?" thread right below this but I think my topic is different enough to warrant a personal thread.
I'm generally pretty thoughtful when starting threads in this coveted area so dammit, gimme my chance for Godssake.
=====================================================================
So I really want to get my first "big Boy" watch and retire a Tissot I've been wearing for the last couple years. When i say nice, I mean "engaged software co staff" nice and not "I'm a young single investment banker with a trust fund" nice.
ie I have $2.5k MAX to spend although would be Ultra happy to spend $2k flat.
I know by now some purists have lost interest already due to the measly price tag I'm willing to fork over, but those of you still around, gimme some suggestions based on
quality
Longevity
re-sale value
Where to buy!?!?!? (big one)
My dream watch is an IWC Porty or a Big Pilot, but wishful thinking at this point. I really like minimalist designs with a big ol' face and large numbers. although I heartily enjoy the look of U-Boat watches, I'm not going to buy one based on the connoisseurs' reviews agains tmy 3 above but please correct me if I'm wrong as price wise, they're up my alley.
I've also recently really enjoyed the look of Zenith El Primero Chrono watch though i wouldn't call it minimalist but it still looks pretty clean and classy/
If ya'll can help, I'd like. If ya'll wanna flame, I'll take it too
