Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

@Steffen the PAM603 is the one I like. Shame they cover up the oh-so-sexy Minerva movement with a solid caseback, though.

^ Can I be the first to say, «Fekk me, that is beautiful»?

[Graeme]

I agree with @neph93 that it looks great.

I'm surprised that the strap has lasted so well. I had a bridle leather one on my Tender watch, which cracked and split after a few years. I need to source a replacement.

Luminor GMT with Gaurded goods Reverse Shell Cordovan strap. I’m disappointed with the quality of the strap.

Deluca natural Shell Cordovan on my PAM212….I have be playing with the idea of getting a NATO strap, but I really am loving this one.

What watches do you think have the most interesting display back / skeletonized dials, sub ~$5k…?

[Chris]

As far as I'm concerned, the most interesting movements to look at are manual wind chronographs.  No recommendations on skeletonized watches, but a Speedmaster Professional with a display back is in that range.

Or you could get something like this for about 10% of that.

The Nomos Neomatik watches have a nice movement, and come into the price range.

The Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Date with the sexy sector dial comes in at $5700. Its movement is neatly decorated.

The Omega Seamaster Aqua-Terra is $5500, and has an attractive, albeit industrial, movement.

@QuantumMechanic:

I’m considering parting with several and maybe getting something really special.

What are you considering getting instead? Something like a Patek or a Lange?

@QuantumMechanic:

^ your 88 deserves better.

I know Greg (for full disclosure) and am a fan of his straps https://www.gregstevensdesign.com/watch-straps.html

Thanks. They look very nice.

Thank you for the suggestions!

(I ended up buying the Oris bronze watch BTW. Very happy with it.)
