Watch Talk: getting out of work edition

[USMChawk]

All of these are mechanical watches but only 3 have a Swiss movements. Of those three, only one is a Swiss brand and the other two are German. So do I have one nice watch or three? Or zero is also an option...FML.

Regardless, the entire collection retails for less than one Rolex.

Thots in no particular order...do not sleep on ze Germans. Glashutte is the second Geneva in Haute Horology circles. Ball has a ton of fans! I like a good deal of your straps. That's the hot thing now is to throw on vintage looking leather straps or NATO. I have not done that, because I think anything that isn't an Explorer on NATO in the Rolex line looks stupid. I did purchase a really nice modern looking leather strap, from of all places Germany, for my Explorer II Polar, but have not put it on yet. I am such a bracelet slut. What's the watch in the upper right hand? I like the dial. Very cool.

So, you said you were saving for a Rolex one day. Which will it be?

The watch in the upper right hand is a 40mm Stowa type-B, hand wound, no date; found here:https://www.stowa.de/en/Flieger+Classic+40+Baumuster+B.htm

The strap is a leather faux-ammo strap I had made by Nero Straps.

I’m not saving for a Rolex; that was hyperbole. When it’s time for a high end watch it’ll be either a Grand Seiko, Omega, or a Damasko; depends on my tastes and the styles of the season.

GS are amazing watches, and I have owned and sold a BUNCH of Omegas over the years. Still wish I had held onto my Railmaster. Sweet watch.

I hate iced out watches. HATE.

Yeah, ruins them for me. I have an Omega constellation with factory diamonds on the dial and I feel like a dainty little bitch when I wear it. The plan was to gift it, but I'm a greedy and can't part with it.

 

[YellowSnow]

I hate iced out watches. HATE.

AGREE. Totally ghee.

I don't even like all gold watches, but TT's are amazing. I've decide this is the watch I am adding to my life goal's. Before GMT's.

To be fair, I have seen some diamonds as hour pointers that I thought were tastefully done and looked nice. You know what I mean when I say iced out.

Tasteful:

Kill me:

That watch is as "Rolex" as you can get. The entire Rolex DNA strand is on display in that watch. I love it.

By far the most feminine watch I currently own, 18k Rose gold and stainless. Yellow gold is where it's at, Rose is just too soft.

Still, the diamonds are high quality and feel classy and not over done like some of the aftermarket hatchet jobs with oversized zero clarity stones.

Edit: Threw in a douchebag bimmer pic to satisfy the clamouring masses.

@Doogles

I like the Connie. I have zero two tones but have been on a real kick with TT lately. Thought I might buy one (Yachtmaster), but a few other watches have turned my head the last several weeks. Still negotiating/searching, but if any of my watch plans come to fruition you all will be the first to know. Here are some hints - keep in mind there are multiple watches I am on the prowl for so these hints are sort of mixed up....

Too much of a good thing.
Adrian!
Destination Moon.
Marine Nationale.
It sometimes snows in France.
Last One.

edit: The hints above are for three separate watches I am looking at. All mixed up. Nobody probably gives a fuck about my game.

Ooh I like games!

You're looking for a Panerai for sure with the Sly Stallone and Italian Navy hints.

Speedmaster Pro, perhaps the 50 year

And I'm guessing a tt yachtmaster 2 because you said so

The yachtmaster 2 all gold is my Grail watch. I haven't really seen a tt in person, but I'd be just as satisfied with an all stainless ym2 and several thousands richer. I love the dial on that watch so much the gold doesn't add much for me, at least in pics.
