There are a couple watches I would like to own (PP 5070, RG RBII, RM Chrono tourb), but I just don't feel comfortable wearing a $100k watch.
You were saying??



And any tourbillion worth its complication is well over $100K.

I would like to get a Breguet. He invented the tourb in 1795.

For any of you watch collectors near Costa Mesa, a new watch store - called the Tourbillion Boutique - recently opened up at South Coast Plaza. They have a range of tourbs from about $150K all the way up to 80 jewel models costing towards $500K. They are pretty cool about handling the watches if you look genuinely interested. Pretty cool.

How much is the auto AP, I saw a gold one with the honey croc strap that looked great in the boutique over at the Mallorca Port Portals.

Yes the AP ROO Themes with silver dial and black leather strap is what I am looking for, how would it look like with say a custom leather strap and red stitching?

^^Personally, I wouldn't get the red stitching, but that's just me. I love the clean look of that watch...I'm probably going to trade in my 251 for it...

I see, I have a bad fetish for the extra details..if its sporty make it sportier since its not a dressy kind of watch.
