The Watch Thread - Part 3

[patryn33]

Jap shy away from Rolex? Not the jap around me. I bet I know more jap then most ppl here.

There are ppl that collects Rolex, my pal in IB has like 50+ rolex under his collection. Ya stays in condo use LV , travel dine, church. he must not have IQ or dumb man according to the stereotype here. Odd ball?

I am surprise ppl can lose sleep and write a walls of text to shoot ppl wearing Rolex. Nothing better in life to do?

How did you guys can afford so nice and expensive watch?
I envy.
I also dream of getting a Rolex or Cartier when I can afford it.
But paying $10,000 for a watch is really beyond my understanding.

So far my watchs are limited to Casio and seikos and next target is a Tissot visodate or Orient Bambino.

Thanks for the poison watches shared in this thread......I am hooked.

Can some kind soul please advise me if I should choose the IWC Portuguese Chrono or the Rolex Explorer 2? What are the pros and cons between the two?
Thanks thanks.

2 totally different watches. depends on your lifestyle and which watch u will see yourself wearing it more often. second aspect to think about is, are u gonna sell it away after awhile? considering all that, if it were me, i'll get the rolex.

both are nice in their own way. depends on what u like actually. want attention seeking, get rolex. want subtle luxury, iwc. general feel here. may be wrong.

Baselworld Watch Fair 2013

Any lucky enough to be at the recent Baselworld Watch Fair?

There is a couple of articles at a local website timewerke.com

Apparently blue is in, like in the Oris John Coltrane Limited Edition written about there.

Quoted : "Apart from the serpentine theme because this is the year of the snake, having a blue dial is also the in thing, as we have learnt from the BaselWorld watch fair.

One timepiece that “chased the blues” away, so to speak, was the Oris John Coltrane Limited Edition. This is by far, one of the emotional pieces in blue that stood out. ..."

Anyone received their ordered Sinn watch from Hourglass yet??

Rolex between the two. If you have to get a Portuguese, at least begin with the 7-days automatic.

And while you're looking at the Explorer, perhaps you might also wish to look at the Milgauss, Submariner and GMT.
