Not mine, but neither are most p0rn objects

So much hate, but I remain in love.Originally Posted by Eustace Tilley
I'm not a huge fan of tourbillons, but I really like this one as well. I quite like the integration with a regulator, the offset dials, and that VIII through X disappear the other 9 hours of the cycle to provide a full, unobstructed display.
That being said, my grail is still the Richard Lange PLM.

Quite like the new B+M Capeland Flyback, but $7K for a B+M is a bit rich.

^^USD7K is very expensive for a B&M.
You should expect at least a 40% discount off retail. I'd wish Richemont would put their brands in their respective space. This kind of segment creep does no one any favours.

Yup, would much rather buy a Glashutte Chronograph XL at that price. The design of the B+M reminds me of Longines.

In late 98, I bought a B&M Capeland chrono, black face, great design. Then, 4 - 5 years ago, I wanted to have it checked out and I sent it to a B&M service center (it worked fine, but was starting to run a bit late). They told me the lube used had gunked up (wtf?!?!) and I would need to change the entire face of the watch - for a couple thousand dollars, IIRC.
Off to eBay it went, and I bought a Seamaster instead. I'll never buy B&M again, even though I think they have very elegant design. I still like the classic Capeland and Hampton models very much.

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:

Who the **** is Gerald Genta?Originally Posted by Rambo

Unfortunately I find the interlocking sub-dials, exposed movement and single hands make the overall look a complete mess. Can't fault the finishing or the movement but it just doesn't do it for me. For the asking price, I'd rather go for Kari Voutilainen's new piece - the in-house movement Observatoire.Originally Posted by gazman70k

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