Hence the reason I would not get it. The tacky side of me thinks it's cool, the rational side of me wouldn't be caught dead wearing it. If this thread were about watches that I like and WANT to get, the Singapore F1 would be near the top of the list.

For me the most beatiful watch in the world, but even if could I'll never throw 60k for a watch .



And this one because it is way too big

I love the Bremont's lately, but I can not warm up to hand choices. Really like the 500 Supermarine, but the hands do not look like dive watch hands. I am not alone on this thought: Watches And Reviews - Bremont Watch Reviews

Bremont might have the best lug design out right now, refreshing.

I admire many of the more expensive watches, but I doubt I'll ever spend even $2k on something that is effectively art. My cell phone keeps perfect time with a signal, and my $75 swatch chronograph keeps time almost as well. Watches just aren't my thing, I guess.

Still, every time I see a Tag Heuer, Omega or Breitling, I gawk. And I really love the Bell & Ross square face that looks like a plane's altimeter.

You're the type of guy that will eventually buy one nice piece and where the heck out of it. This is a good thing.

Watches are the legal form of crack

Wear!

I agree with your statement though. It's an addiction. I've decided to limit myself to one piece per year and the fact that i'm a cheap ass means i'll stick to it!

I'm not sure what's next, i'd love an RM but they're way overpriced as you've stated.

AP i am over, they've created so many editions i'm bored.

Rolex, got one.

Panerai - they all look the same and i never wear mine.

I love JLC and am starting to like IWC, i think my next piece will come from one of those two brands.

Ive realized that about AP, seems strange to me. Same watch, just different colors, with I believe the same movement, but cost 2x and 3x more. I do like them but that part seems off to me.


JLC I love, gorgeous and understated, and I think same about IWC.

I wouldn't buy it because I will never be able to afford one lol.
Ruskie I saw this one in person, the blue dial is not nearly this good looking as it is in this picture. The color is very flat, actually pretty disappointing.
