The strap is dark blue actually. I actually got it with the watch but there are a lot of sellers of quality aftermarket straps out there.

Thanks gherrman. I'm guessing it's 1960-ish.Originally Posted by Mustapha

ebay is a pretty good resource for IDing vintage watches and knowing what styles/movements correspond with different years. If you happen to know the serial# from the movement (a watchmaker/jeweler can open the case for you), you can often get it down to a year or two depending on what other sources are available from the manufacturer or via Google.

Call me sinful but I liked the Prada watches:Originally Posted by LabelKing
Me too so I'll see you in Hell. I came close to buying the middle one (even at 44% off I did not); but, now they seem to be the favored Canal St. fake of the Barneys Co-Op employee (usurping a fake Chanel J-12).Originally Posted by SoCal2NYC
Well, don't worry, I'll be there as well. I've got this one (from a year or two back, and NOT from Canal Street); it's certainly not a horological (sp?) masterpiece (in fact, showing it to the guy who services my other watches, he laughed at me and how crappy the movement was), nor is it something to wear everyday, but I think it's fun:

That's an oversized watch which I can condone. I think it would look nice with a conservative suit.Originally Posted by LabelKing
Thanks, LK. Yeah, I think it's a lot of fun and it's actually not QUITE as oversized as it looks (I just have really skinny wrists). The one designer watch I always wanted, but NEVER could find, was the YSL/Bedat one Tom Ford did just after he took over YSL RG.

Very nice GDL. I picked one up from the same range recently, along with a couple of others that have been on my shopping list for a while.

I remember seeing those at the YSL in South Coast Plaza (I still have the fold out book of all the models) and wanting one so bad. Sort of forgot about them for a while and realized they probably sold 5 of them before they discontinued and stopped making them. If one ever popped up I would buy it in a heartbeat.

The closest thing I ever found that was similarly simple-with-a-twist was a Versace/Ebel one I got quite inexpensively in Japan a few years back:
I liked those too; I remember seeing a selection at the YSL RG store in SF.
