      Careful @davito or @Finn666 will end up with something he didn't expect like the enormous Zenith Pilot!

        I like that one Eli. Is that the Japanese domestic?

        Love the Autavia as well. One of the best Heuer designs IMO.

          Lool @Graeme you right haha
          You do have great taste in watches, i just think our gentleman @Finn666 need to find a good entry level which Pam or tudor or maybe iwc or rolex might be for his lifestyle 🙂
          Thx for that man haha
          But i can assure you Bucherer does not stock zenith 🙂

          @mental floss wow what a beauty oldschool

          Cheers,

            Panerai or Tudor?…what do you guys think?`

            Tudor!  I just picked up a vintage Monte Carlo from 1972.  Their modern line-up also has some amazing pieces.

                Wow thanks @babyknight , I needed a watch of the appropriate vintage to wear on my Yamaha 1972 SR500

                  Thanks @davito  !

                  @Giles  , this is the one I got, the OG 7169/0.  Not sure it's the best match for the bike but if you know anyone who sells clothing perhaps you can find some gear to help coordinate?

                    damn guys…didn't thought i'd have that much to read when checking back in this thread 🙂
                    thanks all for the nice feedback...def. gonna check out bucherer soon mate @davito
                    just googled the snowflake @Friday looks super nice as well…so snowflake or black bay it is, when tudor!
                    panerai is, well "just" panerai...somehow something special but somehow also a bit of hype to me (or am i wrong?).
                    i know they make great watches but i'm not sure if panerai represents that what i'm looking for in a watch. who knows...

                    omega is great shit as well...decisions decisions decisions...damn! ^^

                    anyways, thanks a ton and o/course i'm always open for new brands or anything else 🙂

                          @Finn666 I love both of those Tudors you are thinking about, perhaps the Snowflake is my favorite though…

                          Absolutely will @davito , I don't have the watch yet but will do in about a week or so!

                            @Finn666 snowflake is the form of the hour hand in vintage tudor subs and also some modern submariner models I think (rolex has the mercedes hand), @Qinhan has that beautiful vintage snowflake sub. I am not sure if @Friday was meant to say the black bay which has a snowflake hour hand too, please forgive my ignorance :).
                            I suggest you call up Bucherer in advance to check if the blackbays are available in display as they sell pretty good from what i was told.

                              Anyway I cocked up.  My bike is 1982, so I don't want a 1972 watch anyway….

                                  Some vintage ones from the drawerful…when I stopped wearing suits for the most part, I gave these up. I have quite a lot, mostly Swiss, but Russian, Slav, even Hamiltons, all from yesteryear before prices went nutty. Must do something with them all. These days it's just Seiko, or once in awhile an Omega with textured face that I like (not this one, which is a 1960ss).

                                    the OG 7169/0.

                                    These are very, very lovely.

                                    (and get a Tudor, @Finn666 😉 )

                                      Amidst all these Rolexes and Tudors and all that, I decide to get a little funky…

                                      Nice choice Seul. But if you haven't already picked it up, definitely give this new Citizen diver a look. Apparently it has a few improvements over the earlier model, and it looks great (and funky) too.

                                            @Finn666 Definitely Panerai! They have a very special look and if there is any hype it's not as you see them all over the place. I just like the authentic vintage, minimalistic style about them.
