The Watch Thread - Part 3

[Jeremy1]

My wrist is 6.5" and my max is around 50mm lug to lug. Anymore and they will hang off my wrist

mine same as you... plus my arm is also very skinny. so big watches will appear even bigger on me

if only I had a wrist size around 7"... sigh...

I wearing my Pan 312 which is 44mm still ok.

I think 45mm on my UN still ok and the max I will go is 45 and not more than that.

 

[Jeremy1]

Think 1 is for sale recently at swx 46.8k...
This is gray not AD. Not sure AD how much.

I guess 50K should be more or less sufficient.

Reason why I choose this is because I always wearing jean so it's better matched as compared to the PP 5712 and Breguet.

 

[Jeremy1]

get a datejust boy size?

My yachtmaster is a boy size one. It's 38mm and I feel it's rather small on my wrist........................

I also think it's too big for a men size during that time when I am hunting for Rolex so I got the boy size.......................

The novelty carbon/ceramic looks just as good with a suit, you got that right.

Wore it for a wedding just the other day.

I'm very tempted in the interim to pick up the Novelty RG, but I have to hold out for the open worked watch.

Anyway guys who are into cars. would you pick an Audi A4 quattro or the 520i facelift? Both are in the same region of 220-230+k.

Intend for daily beater car? And frequent driving?
If so, i will prefer 520i facelift.
But i will suggest you test drive both... if you are looking for a car to match your AP... then i think audi A4 is better

Already test drove both. The A4 quattro handles like a dream and my missus prefers Audi, but I like the luxurious feel of the 520i and the digital dashboard, not too happy with it as a driver's car though.

We are also considering the A6, which we haven't test drove yet.

All 3 fall within the same price range.

Finally bought my first watch after months of looking around. I'm loving the Reverso collection a lot, especially the Reverso Calendar, unfortunately my tiny wrist of 5.8" vastly limited my choices. ='(
Ended up with the Reverso Duoface

10.5k after discount

Wah not bad

I rem my fren bought this (?) in 2005 for 8k.

Better to compare the A6 against the 520. Same class. Or even the E class. Or even the jaguar XJ - I love the interior; lots of chrome.

The A4 competitor would be the 3 series. Not familiar with the A4, but my guess is the S-tronic (audi speak for DSG) and shorter wheelbase makes it a more engaging ride than the 520 for you. Will the A4 give a somewhat unsettled ride as well? I do know they have damper settings though. May not be relevant here, but do audi's have good resale value?

Are S tronics reliable? The multitronic (audi speak for CVT) is, but not sure about the former. The 7spd versions are most problematic.

If you want an engaging ride, go for the MINI. And make sure it's an cooper S cabrio Elise too hardcore so the best compromise is still the MINI.

Still, whatever that appeals to your heart.

my wife love AUDI and I love BMW. I agree with yattokame. compare A6 with 520i. in fact both are performance cars.
both look quite mean on the road...

certain things... its better to listen to our missus lolx =P

[Henabi]

[Jeremy1]

$60K.................................

Only in my dream.............................

 

[Triste]

The A4 quattro was on the list as we were looking a full spec model and it had plenty of horsepower to boot.

The A6 is a little cheaper than the 520i but seems a little outdated in design.

I'm with yattokame bro on the need to get a more comfortable ride. But surprisingly the missus hardly felt anything even when we pushed the quattro hard when we were test driving it.

60K *swallow my saliva hard*
