I just bought a Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate yesterday.

Just looking around for some bros who have Blancpain watches and the general feedback on them.

nomos????

I think you should call them, they are consumer friendly when it comes to pricing. The white one is there iirc.

Anyway, do remember to buy the visodate. The value is there.

Tissot is moving upmarket with a "luxury" line. This new model called powermatic 80 comes with chronometre certification and special proprietary movement from ETA. Interesting to see how things goes.

Just got the above mentioned watch Waited for quite some time for it.. It's a beauty.

You got the chronometer version? How much is it on bracelet?

I thgt that watch Socketer own is a Nomos Orion?

 

[Siegfield]

ahh.. i was contemplating between this and the stowa antea ks.

Both also nice!! But Nomos' movement is considered to be in-house, while the Stowa is powered by ETA (both apparently is based on the Peseux 7001). The Nomos also feels less crowded, as they seem to give more space between the markers.

I thgt that watch Socketer own is a Nomos Orion?

Oppps... my bad! Its an Orion after i took a 2nd look. I blame it on my desire for the Tangente...

Used to have a Tag when I was back in secondary school. Was a gift from my aunt -- no way my mum was going to buy that for me. That F1 Tag with a red dial. Those memories.

I tend to prefer dress watches, though I appreciate the appeal of the diving watch.

I've always liked the Daytona, and the AP Royal Oak in stainless steel/rose gold, and if I had the $, I'd get them.


Anyway, here's part of my humble collection. Quite an old photo, and have acquired a couple more watches.



From left to right:

1. Breguet 5317PT tourbillon in platinum, with brown crocodile strap — a casual watch (because of its slightly larger case size)

2. Rolex Submariner 16610 with James Bond NATO strap — the go to watch for swimming and sports

3. Patek Philippe Calatrava in yellow gold, with black crocodile strap — for black tie events and cocktail parties

4. International Watch Company (IWC) Perpetual Calendar (with chronograph and moon-phase indicator) in yellow gold — the business watch

5. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Date in rose gold, with brown horn-back alligator strap and red lining — for most occasions

collection not humble at all bro

esp when 3/5 of the watches r the gold variant

hehehehe
