Watches - another OCD problem

@BloodnThunder:

In your opinion what is the best watch/watch brand(s) in the $1,000 - $1,500 range.

in there's price range, there's plenty pretty good ones to look at. firstly, there's the seiko 007 or 6309s. fantastic watches, great basic movement. though the 6309 is a vintage and requires a little more TLC. if not look at brand like steinhart. i find their military repros a good place to start off. there's also vintage rolexes. i like the simplicity of the 6694 oyster date, though same may find the face a little small at 34mm.

figure out what you like; diver, pilot, race inspired? then narrow it down…

@Graeme:

@bubbapest Glad to hear that you got what you really wanted in the end.

The price for the big, black Panerai is €50K. I suspect if you can swallow that, you'll be able to cope with the service costs. I wonder how many will actually get worn regularly. I know that @Tempvs gets a lot of use out of his tourbillon, but I suspect a lot will live in safes for most of their existence.

I like it too, but it's out of my price bracket.

I try to wear it most days.

@louisbosco is in town, and I took him watch (window) shopping.

I think that you should get the Pepsi Louis.

Hodinkee have a big announcement at 11:30 EST tomorrow morning. There's a blurry photo on Instagram, which leads me to suspect it's another watch collaboration.
