I am a fan of the non-chrono Inge, which has an in house movement. Sub is classic but I don't know how I feel about the lug/bracelet size difference. It looked odd when I saw the new ceramic models but I never put it on my wrist. 16610 is always an option, but used . This is all something to figure out in the fall anyways.


As for the radiomir, classy but too big for a dress watch IMO. I tried one and it doesn't fit under a dress shirt. As far as I know, the new 42mm aren't out yet. Those will add some good options for a dress shirt.

If PP makes it and it's within my budget then I am taking it.....
Today (IMO) no brand comes close

Neither for me. Both seem to old for me.

Of course if I were Jox I would rock one of my many swatches that are rebadged with Breguet hand written on them.......really not unlike his 98 Audi A8 with all the S badges hand written throughout.

What specifically makes one of these watches worth their price tag other than the name?

Craftsman who hand make your watch. Movement that is extensively decorated by hand. Heritage that goes back one and a half centuries. Mechanical genius/ingenuity.

I love how we can be in the same thread together, agree on a topic while insulting eachother at the same time. I am not sure what that skill is called, but it should be going in our resumes.

I will definately call you when I need a Resume upgrade so you can tell me what to actually put down.

Sure will. Meanwhile, I suggest you remove that your fluffer job you had over at SuicideBois in the late 90s. Kinda kills your chances of ever landing those telemarketing jobs you've been applying for lately . . .
