~1999 Tag with blue face and 2 tone band. Still wearing to this day. I had the battery replaced a few months ago at Tourneau and the lady said that there may actually be a market for this Tag because of the unique blue face. (There really isn't a true secondary market for Tags, so they say.)

 

 

 

I also have a mint vintage early 1980's Rolex Chronometer from my grandfather that I had fully restored a few years ago...But can't find it at the moment...Doh!

Christmas came early ( waiting list for some years :-) )

Can anybody give me recommendations for a watch between $3,000-$5,000? I'm typically into a pilot style, not a big fan of divers. I prefer leather bands to metal ones. I have an everyday beater watch or will go without it if I'm doing a bunch of errands around the house or at work. Something that I can wear a couple of times a week for social events, dinner dates, etc. I've been looking at the IWC pilot chronograph because it seems to fit the criteria I'm looking for. I've seen the brand around for a while but I'm no watch enthusiast by any means. Just wondering if someone could tell me if it's pretty good watch for the buck. I've read on here that Rolex is the best "value", resale, etc but not a fan of the style. Also, I'm considering getting the Apple Watch Hermes since it's functional, looks good, and it's formal enough to wear with a suit. Any feedback is appreciated thanks

You can find great looking (pre-owned) Navitimer's in that price range! One of my all time favorite watches !!

I have a Breitling Navitimer and it still looks great after 18years. Still get lots of comments.

 

You want a blue face with the blue strap, all time classic imho and agree with post above

I had one of the Navitimwr with the b01 in house movement. I truly believe breitling’s navitiner bracelet is one of the best out there.

I love the blue face !! My personal favourite is the white face with Cognac croco bracelet. Nice to hear from Some other Navitimer enthusiasts ??

The etched Rolex crown can be seen on the crystal at the 6 O'Clock position. Rolex GMT II is just such a classic watch.

Just added a Sub Date to my collection

Going for silly money atm

 

However this is a mint condition with matching numbers and still with Rolex warranty for a few more years

 

Wrapped up for Christmas from the wife

Just picked up an Omega Speedmaster. Absolutely in love with it so far! It's my first "treat yo self" watch. Really stunning design and has such a great history.

Love that PO. Always wanted a liquimetal GMT

I am a fan of Breitling. A very good durable watch that doesn't scream "look at me" but is quietly respected by those who know of it.

 

So about two years ago we had a party at my house and in my excitement i got to "amnesia-mode" of drinking. Right as I was crossing the conscious/unconscious barrier, i "hid" my Breitling SuperOcean somewhere on our top floor. I have not been able to find it but i know it is somewhere in our nightmare storage closet.

 

Fast forward to last night... My fiancee and i were at a Jewelry store picking out our rings for our wedding and she surprised me by buying me this as a pre-wedding present. I think i hit the future wife lottery

 

It is a IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Spitfire.

 

 

 

I will make sure i never take this off if i go into amnesia-mode again.

did she buy it with her money or your money?

Some beautiful watches so far. There are so many I would really like, but I am not wealthy, so its just dreams.

What I am about to post is nothing to drool over or impress watch people. Its a watch I have found that is very accurate and a workhorse. I am a cop and wear it at work every day. Its over two years old and still keeps spot on time. I only have been adjusting it maybe twice a year during DST. Its that dang good.

Great workhorse of a watch. Easy to wear, looks great and is a great bargain.
