watch question
Rolex Date (Oyster Band/Smooth Bezel
Rolex DateJust (Jubilee Band/Fluted Bezel
Cartier Santos Ronde (Two tone)
Bulgari Aluminum
Omega Speedmaster Date (Black Band w/ Black face)
Gucci Stainless
Tag Heurer Formula 1 Chrono
I'll usually use the Rolex Date as an everyday watch, but I do love the Omega Speedmaster Date and try to use it more often. The Bulgari is also a great stylish watch that I don't have to really be afraid of getting scratched since the band and bezel is made of rubber. The Cartier is a very elegant watch and the rest, I don't really wear much at all.
Of course I would love to get a Patek Phillipe or a Frank Muller sometime later. Hublots are also nice and I'll get a Girrard Perragaux when I get my 355 Spider. Until then, Happy Driving!

have you guys heard about the recent innovation in mechanical watch power sources, namely the "Eternal Winding System"? this is the hands-down most innovative and incredible advance in mechanical watches I've heard of. it is powered by just slight changes in temperature variations! that's right, you can put this fully-mechanical watch down on your shelf and years later it will still be ticking (so long as your shelf isn't in a refrigerator).
check it out
the guy is a genius. I hope he makes millions of dollars. he will definitely have a chapter dedicated to him in horological history.

I have several laying about somewhere.....can't seem to make myself wear one. Too many clocks available around us these days. I find most watches to damn big and clunky, feels like I'm wearing a lead weight on the end of my arm. Most of the ones that I would choose to wear would end up looking like shit in a few days, all scratched and covered in mortar, from working with tile and marble.
What makes a watch worth so much money? I'm not flaming- this is a serious question. Other than precious stones/metals, what makes an exceptional watch? I'm sure fine watches are a bit like cars, in that you need to know them and understand them in order to appreciate them.
I wear a Rolex Air King everyday,
but also own a GMT master, Girrard Perrigaux Ferrari, Submariner, Daytona, Seamaster, and Speedmaster.
(I used to collect watches, spent a fortune on them (watches cost more than a new s2000
))
But the good thing is I can always sell them for more or at least the same amount I got them for.

It's funny how this topic comes up 2-3 times every year.
