I like the crown of the Graham models. However, they can appear obnoxiously big.

Yeah, Graham makes a nice watch, but they are much too big to look professional. I see them and it is usually a little guy with a big checkbook trying to compensate. Get a Panerai Chris and stop fvcking around.

But that's the thing; I don't want watches that everyone has. Every tom dick and harry has a friggin Rolex. BORRRRING. Ya, I know, you're a baller, I get it. (speaking out loud and in general, NOT directed towards the Devil Dog in the house, Roger that?)

Pan's, I love them. I really do. I would purchase a Pan B4 a Rolex any day of the week. And I will. But I'm drawn to watches that only certain people know. Thats why I bought an Oris; not everyone has one. (until I found out our new CFO has the same exact Oris Diver I do! fvcker!!) Lum-Tec's? Great everyday watches you can beat on and not feel guilty about. Get's TONS of comments and admiration. Except from LaBrit; but we all know his Mum still makes his lunch and does his laundry *cough gay cough cough*.

I think my next more $$ watch purchase will be a B&R indicator. That to me is another cool watch, not everyone has.

The client whom I saw the Graham on? In the same day he purchased TWO new Porsche (GTS and a Targa4S) he also purchased a 2 Bentley's. GT and a Flying Spur.

I think it's safe to say he's not over compensating. Just a baller. LOL

Bell & Ross makes some pretty nice pieces. I am not a huge fan of square watches, but I look at them every time I am anywhere near a Tourneau or similar watch store. And yeah, I think that guy is definitely a baller.

I tried on a TW Steel today after someone mentioned it early on. 48mm felt way too big and the sort of blacked out TW I had on looked a little cheap. The non blacked out faces looked good. I think I saw them under 600 bucks. I'd say a good watch for 600-750 but I'd recommend a 45mm.

wont lie, as much as I enjoy my panerai...they are slowly becoming far more mainstream...I remember when there were only a few shops in the US that carried it at all...Check out the Navy Seal ed. Jaeger Diver...its absolutely sick and a used one can be just around 6k...pretty hot watch for that money...
