Your next watch
 

I dont really want a watch badly but I guess I've got only one quality time piece which is my Zenith, so for a next watch I'd like to have a AP Royal Oak offshore either this or the safari.

or

IWC Big Ingenieur

my next immediate purchase will be a PAM88. my eventual purchase will also be an AP ROO.

The Pam is a nice entry the 113 is a great watch as well, I love about them is the level of customisation with straps. I got into the personalising and ordered a alacantra strap with black stitching,black pvd buckle for my Bulgari Carbon gold. It will look good, cant wait for it to arrive. Kram, The AP ROO is one of the nicest watches, as like you its on my list.

Rolex - i think i finally got past my issue with the sleazy car salesman image (i want a pepsi or blue two tone sub).

exactly way better than the GMT2's solid silver/black.

Not too big
Not too flashy
Not too expensive

AP RO 15300 in Steel with a strap, preferrably in rubber if I can find one...

When I first got into watches I felt the same way. Went through a ROO, VC Overseas Chrono, couple Pams, etc. Ended up picking up a SS Daytona unexpectedly and I have had it for a couple years now and have no interest in anything else.

I don't know why, but the Rolex sports line (some, not all) is just timeless looking to me. I see too many people walking around with 44mm+ watches with 6" wrists and it looks stupid.

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.

Felix, great minds think a like my friend.....PROPS to you.

Felix: My gf's dad has an auto AP, it's a lovely piece.

I agree with you Jared - if i were to blow 100k I wouldn't buy a single watch, i prefer diversity.

You were saying?? :spar:

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.

Dana great watch, I like the black pvd version myself. Too bad the watch is common over here, I dont blame them for getting it:

great price

looks terrific

You can find them used in great condition for $7-8K

I'd take it new because I cannot find good used one's locally whats the price of a new one you just posted 15k ?

Get the Safari...great watch...or an AP ROO Themes with silver dial and black leather strap...

I just picked up a PAM 251 and a PAM 299...solid everyday watches...but I do regret selling my AP ROO Rubberclad...

A JLC or IWC at some point in my life, but for now I really like this one:

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.

The red stitching is too OTT - my boss's Shaq edition is gaudy IMO.

Yes, I didnt like that Shaq edition it was too big. Yes your kind of right with this, thank you for bringing it up.

My next one is definitely a Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL Chrono with the silver face and Dunlop strap. It's such a gorgeous watch. When I buy that one, I'm going to pick up the new Omega Seamaster with black bezel in ladies' size for my wife. Then she can save her Constellation for "dressy" events...

How big is your boss' wrist?

Reason I ask is because the two Shaq's I've seen out in the wild were both being worn by people with bitch wrists like myself. That watch needs a meaty wrist to sit on IMHO, it's retarded on an average wrist.

+1, that and the YG GMTIIc w green dial.

Call me crazy/tacky but I love the Graham Chronofighter series ...

However, no way I'm buying new considering their depreciation, and they don't come up very often on the second hand market ... I'll be patient.

I want a new watch really bad, so in the meantime I may let myself get a daily beater ... Tag Monaco, Chopard MM or Omega Speedy ... I'll see.

This is it!!!
The PP 5712/1

I love that one...:yup:

Rollie GMT ceramic with pepsi bezel. Hopefully next year.

This one with the custom strap

Kevlar strap, white stitching with the watch Felix posted

Basically either a Royal Oak or a ROO depending on my budget,

Damn Im so hitting home run with this combination.

Cannot go wrong with an AP...
The history is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you see their new Singapore GP? I think it looks great and lov'n the strap, but it is a little too sporty

Ofcourse its exteremely sporty, I'd go for a Scuba or a RO Jumbo.

Rolex DeepSea?
are you going for a dressy or sporty watch?

You read my mind, I like sporty watches. I am a casual outgoing person whilst not considering our regions daily ( dish dasha, thoob etc) I wanted the deepsea but got my self a Zenith Defy Classic for my birthday, I plan to get an Audemars in the near future hopefully with a custom strap.

For some reason I really like the Wempe with that strap... mmm..

Yes, the Graham is quiet a hot piece as well...I just checked out the AP's site seems I want a Royal Oak Automatic steel with black dials and then have the Kevlar with white stitching strap installed.

Felix, I want mine to be like this exactly...off white stitching

Your going to love this, its so classy yet contemporary with that strap.

Its a tough choice when your in the market for a new watch, I like this JLC Diving pro watch master compressor with the rubber strap. I guess if I got it like a carbon strap with smurf blue stitching it will nicely complement the blue etchings in its dials.

+1 Ftw

I think my next purchase will be a casual watch. I have a Breitling that I wear for work, but it doesnt always seem to go with casual stuff.

Nothing crazy:

Bell & Ross BR 01 Phantom Edition
