      Chopard mille miglia is a nice watch. I'm looking for purchasing one. Those Junghans watches are also nice for more formal occasions.

        Just got back from Nassau, what a watch lovers Mecca.

        Transitting Nassau in 2 months.  Good prices?

        So it seems that most discounts hover around 10-20% depending on the brand plus the benefit of no tax/duty. The big difference is the number of brands that are unavailable to try on at home. One gent there was letting me try on a $28,000 Piaget Antiplano. No interest financing lol!

          Thanks, if I have the time, I'll stop by.  I will be rushing to and from fishing, so I will have other things on my mind…...

            After spending too much time looking for a not too expensive watch I finally worked it out. I want a Maratac Mid Pilot 2012. First saw Urbanwoodsman`s large Pilot in the pocket dump thread some time ago.

            This is stupid for a variety of reasons:

            • They don´t ship to Europe
            • Even Americans have a tough time getting one, they´re kind of hyped and the producer seems to be badly organized
            • The 2012 model is discontinued and the 2013 version is ugly.
            • As a German I have a couple of producers of much more original "Flieger"-watches right around the corner.

            Still I dig this one - annoying. Any advice?

                    true that G. this one belongs to my room mate actually and he needs to take it in for the 2nd or 3rd time now this year…just looses way too many seconds during a day!

                      Shitelings are known for that… But of course, it's a watch, who needs it to actually tell the time accurately right?..

                                      Still better than a Rolex, on the most part IMO. Every person @ a SE party is also wearing denim too tho? (I know what you mean, but maybe it is reflective of quality, more so than sheeple?)

                                        I'm on the lookout for a watch in about 4 years time (seriously). It'll likely take me that long to find something that's not a PAM or Rolex…

                                          Yes, they are all wearing denim, but that's like saying they're wearing watches….....There is something sheeplike (imo) about the Panerai gang......

                                            yeah it was a pretty weak point, it's not like they all wear the same brand of jean.
