The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[earthdragon]

It’s pretty bad in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane/Gold Coast for Patek and Rolex stock. However, Perth often has pieces (Rolex) you won’t see in cases on the east coast, of course steel is still rare as hen’s teeth.

I will check HK out on the way home

Good luck! Great watch, had one but sold it as I feel it's not worth the value they're currently at. I bought it when there was no hype and to be honest the whole hype thing is turning me away from them. Nevertheless, you'll enjoy it, massively. It's an amazing piece.

Drinks with friends yesterday:

Too bad about the lighting, first time I had the sympathie in my hand, LE of 28 pieces in this dial variation, beautiful with the breguet numerals. Movement based on a Lemania 2310, I should have taken a photo. It is said that the case design comes from this:

Nice Journe.

It has to be said that the Dubuis is rather lacking in sympathie to even the most rudimentary typographic sensibilities, however. Why companies that ought to know better make such a mess of the craft is beyond me.

Good luck!

Have worn mine almost every day for several years now and it is beginning to acquire some character, I think.

Great. Some photos of display would be fantastic. I have called several ADs in Thailand for availability- no professional models either SS or TT . Some ADs do have the Sky dweller in champagne and white dials. But price is about 25% higher than Australia. I will be in Bangkok during Christmas and will report back!

Been rotating between these for the last few days, it's truly amazing what you can get for under $3k preowned.

That Cartier Basculante is pornographic...

Anyone wears Hublot classic Fusion? Recently seen a blue dial - really nice.

I’ll check Brunei’s Rolex dealer later this week and report back.

Does anyone have this Breitling?

I have been out of town for the past week or so. While away, I was browsing in a Diamonds International store, as one does, and saw this. Even though I had my Oris Aquis "Clean Ocean" on my wrist all week, which is strikingly similar, this had an appeal. I didn't buy it, as one, I'd have been keel-hauled by my wife (even though she had just made out like a bandit), and two, I couldn't get them close enough to an online price to make it worth while taking the risk. But it is speaking to me.

It is the only modern Breitling I've seen in quite a while that appeals to me. My vintage Navitimer Montbrillant is the only Breitling I own. But at 42mm on this quite lovely mesh strap...
