Your next watch
#1351
Ha! Thanks for the advice my friend. I'm in my mid 20's and have one term left before I graduate law school. You are right, this will be my first nice watch. As I mentioned I want to get the new watch within the coming year but no reason to stress. I'll wait for the right time and the right watch. Obviously I'll ask you for advice before
Instead send me 5k a month for your first three years out of school.
This my friend will save you 150k a over the next 5 years in watch purchases alone.

You like these VC's because they look so close to your AP's interesting.....
the dual time?
or the chrono?
both are GREAT looking watches, i dig the functions on the dual time more as they are more useful for a watch this classy (though the date dial seems a bit crowded?)
1. you're right, different versions do have the illusion of a different size. but i would think the volcano is one of those that have a 'smaller' feel due to the black dial. every time i wear the Black themes ROO, i can't help but see it much smaller than the Panda. don't worry about the diameter of the bezel, think about the high-rise state of the case. that is what you will feel and notice once you daily it hope this helps with your decision
2. the VC and the Volcano are T O T A L L Y different watches imo (even if you meant the VC Chrono). so based on your tone, i think now you KNOW you gotta go with the VC.
ap roo vs vc overseas = win win situation
again, did you try the chrono or the dual time + what are their prices in KD?
is khaled karam still their dealer in kuwait?

Let me get this straight. I send you 180k $ over a 3 year period with no return in order to save 150k $ over a 5 year period for watches, which after 5 years will still be worth maybe 100k $?
I'd like to tell you I'll think about it but instead I'm politely asking you if you suffer from mental retardation, sir

So came back from Zurich today, no chances to do some watch shopping, was in and out of meetings or dinners all of the time. Maybe next time. So still no idea what my next watch will be, only that I want it to have an in house made movement. And read some interesting stuff of big name brands still using ETA movement. I know for sure that I'll never buy a Hublot or Bell&Ross

2). The 180k spent has already factored in all you list. I'm saying you will lose 330k your way
C) it's the Sicilian way
D). Yes

Sorry if this thread is for actually for "your next watch" or if its ok that it "I wish these were my next watches". But ive been doing a lot of research and searching for different watches and I have to say these would be on the top of my list.
