Thought I would share one of mine here. Always gets a few stares and compliments.

Here's another compliment, that's a very nice watch! Particularly like it on the brown strap.

I can't blame anyone for complimenting such a lovely watch! Wear it in good health, more pictures are always appreciated!

Super nice JLC Fiddler!

That Cartier is trippy. I'd look down on a hot day and wonder if I'm melting.

I like the Piaget. Just the best skeleton in my opinion.

+1 kinda like the yellow gold version a little better...as long as we're dreaming.

And Frilly I have no idea what G-Shock she's wearing, but I don't think anyone has ever smirked a better smirk than that young lady is smirking in the pic that you posted

Need an update, stat!

I haven't succeeded in obtaining pictures of lovely subdials from my friend, or at least ones that won't potentially get me banned from SF. However, here is a somewhat TWAT-related shot of my friend wearing a Panerai during a photoshoot.



Not quite subdials, but here's a "caseback" shot. No, not quite a display back. Down, boys.

JLC for the win, Fiddler! Beautiful!

Thanks gents....I think the JLC Master Calendar goes equally well with casual as well as formal dress....very versatile. I very rarely wear my IWC FliegerChrono now....maybe I should break it out for a pic one of these days.

I too am enjoying this watch on a brown strap, and I am jealous of its versatility. I need to figure out how to make the MUT Moon more versatile!!!

I am just going to go out there and say it. That is about THE MOST lovely tourbillon watch I have ever seen. And a 14 day power reserve for a watch with a tourby? Holy balls. The watch has personality as well, which I admire.

I would do bad things for one of those. That price is pretty ridonculous as well.

I really enjoy the asymmetry of the dial.



I like this version, very tasty.

The platinum version is nice, but I agree and think I prefer the gold. I like the warmth the gold adds to this fine time piece. I find the platinum version a bit too sterile, but if someone gifted it to me...I wouldn't kick it to the curb!

Spot on again Nuke!

Their skeleton is just amazing!

I really like that Cartier. If it were available as a men's watch without diamonds I would be very tempted to get one. The one in the photos is actually a ladies watch. However, they did make a men's watch called "The Crash." It looks like its melting. The legend behind it's inspiration was back in the late 1960s a Cartier London executive had a Bangnoire (an elongated oval shaped Cartier watch) when he was in a fatal auto accident. The car caught on fire and its melted remains inspired The Crash watch, which resembles the watches melting in the Dali painting. Today they are small by men's current watch standards, but very collectible because they were only ever made in very small batches often for special occasions (opening a new boutique in a famous city).

Nice time "Pieces."

 

[Cylon]

time piece or dime piece?

 

[Omega Male]

Have found myself mooning over the latest APRO chronos recently. Other than the treatment of the date function, can't come up with much to dislike. Maybe the crown's also a little big? The dial is just stupendous up close, though. I could stare at the various textures for hours. I would stare at the various textures for hours!

What a lovely model (and the JLC is nice too).



Also tragically cool story on the Cartier "Crash".

 

[Khal80]

I cam to this thread looking for a watch that fit my budget, 5k.

After spending months lurking and seeing all the watches, I found myself liking watched 4x and 5x the budgeted amount. not good.

Took some time away from this thread so i could get back to reality. The closes I got to my budget was an IWC Portuguese. Love it.

But finally, I think I found the perfect watch...Nomos Tangomat GMT Plus.

I think its a great watch with great versatility.

It may have even been recommended to me on this board but over time the watch has really grown on me.

Now the problem is, where can i try this on!!!

good decision?

Sorry, but I think you'll just have to find another 'reason' to dislike it - I think the crown looks great! Seriously, my friend recently bought a white AP chrono and it's a remarkable watch. Very comfortable too!
