^ No, get an IWC instead

 

love that AP but still vote for a JLC all the way
a Cartier should never be taken over a JLC, no matter what
lol so true about it being impossible to find only one to decide on

i would go with a Squadra

 

Kev that reverso is spectacular!!

 

does it have to be BNIB?

 

Yeah...a sub is so inspiring. That Reverso is sweet Kevin.

292 would be what I'd get in that price range

 

No need to get sarcastic with me, everyone has their own preferences. I just happen to be a big fan of the submariner. Kevin, what do you think of UN? You might like this one:

 

Cartier ballon de blue. Bought my wife one last year. Men's version is very nice and right in your price range

 

Congrats on the watch -post some pics in the what's on your wrist thread! The FA Jones platinum is a step up, but I am looking at the steel which MSRP about the same as the portuguese auto.

I really need to figure this out because the FA Jones keeps playing in my head, but I would like to try one on first, going to start calling places next week when I finish my current rotation.

I agree that JLC is pretty tops with them making everything in house, and being the go to manufacturer for movements for high end brands (although many are starting to go in house these days).

Agreed. That movement is pure sex!

No, LNIB as well. Ideally something I could try on first given the sum of money involved. This is my problem with the IWC portuguese FA jones right now.

Leaning towards this

If I were to do a radiomir, it would be one of the new 42mm

Good call! That isn't my favorite, but I should investigate some UN action.

 

Rolex Sub all day. You need something you can beat the hell out of, and you DON'T need a BNIB example... Hit me up for help if you need it.
