El Primero 36'000vph ... i would like to see the sweep of the second-hand in person! My god! Able to advise on the average price of the el primero at Ads, after discount?

 

[patryn33]

That's so true. German makes a better pilot!
If choosing a pilot, I say go German and get GO Senator Navigator.

Loving the GO!!!!

 

[ahboy82]

$13,500.

I got it earlier this year. No regrets at all.

discounts given how much> mind revealing.

I'm bias against the pilots, i think Stowa has got good enough pilots...
but GO has got some really chio models..
my target is the seventies, and theres the Senator Diary!

wa this is nice............

damn this thread moves damn fast....

Now German manufacturers are sending their pilot watches for TeStaF certification. This will separate the real tough pilot watches from the wannabes. Sinn and Stowa already have some watches that are TeStaF certified.

TeStaF… the new standard for Pilot’s Watches - Monochrome Watches

Introducing TeStaF...

Both are nice, but the GO 70s uses an older GO caliber 39, the Senator Navigator uses the newer GO caliber 100.
There are significant differences like power reserve (40 vs 55hrs), screw balance with 18 weighted gold screws for caliber 100, etc.

That's the best pilot watch ever in my opinion. Wish I had bought this instead of my IWC.....
Alas, GO has stupidly stopped making these. So if you can find one, grab it!

I was scratching my head about what watches to recommend and this popped out! ANONIMO!

Love this: Militare Chrono-AM.1100.05.005.A01 | Anonimo

Beautiful and I love how the crown is at the 12 o'clock.

Prices? Ain't too sure... But I do know that Red Army Watches brings them in.

Would personally love to get one too!

i almost bought anonimo about a year back... then i went and got my pams instead.

concerns about the watch holding its value stopped me.

 

[dark_aLLeY]

Anyone had experience with chinese movement like stuhrling?

Stuhrling Original

Anyone manage to grab a piece and compare?

Same here, I bought my Pams instead of Anonimo. But since I have done so, I will seriously consider Anonimo.

Not too concerned about the Anonimo watch holding its value because I don't intend to sell it.

My most valuable watch is a watch that my late granddad left for me... S$40 in 1967.

 

[KohChris]

Imo Anonimo watches look cheap

I think the Militare Chrono model posted by Azrielsc looks good.

Me too, anomino had some nice ones and i liked the unique crown position at 12 oçlock... but eventually got pams lol

Here's some history of the Aninomo watches, especially the Polluce that kohchris posted.

I wonder how much is $40 in 1967 worth in 2013.....

When I collected my granddad's Pagol, I was told that in the 1960s, Rolex watches were sold at about S$100+, so S$40 was quite a lot in those days!

Will post up photos once I have the time!
