        agree, i wouldn't kick it out of bed. I actually looked up pricing for it  😠

          The Villeret Extra Plate probably looks better on the leather strap.

          I got to try one on a few months ago, when a local dealer was having a preview of the new Swatch Group releases. It's a really lovely watch.

            You did say you prefer straps, so that's not a surprising position to take, but since I love a mesh/Milanese type bracelet, I prefer the previously pictured Blancpain. 😉

              I've only tried a mesh bracelet on with the Omega Ploprof. That was comfortable due to the watch being made from titanium and hence light.

              If I got the Blancpain, I'd be tempted to try the bracelet.

                Since I'm not in Blancpain territory, I'll have to settle for a more budget friendly variation, I guess.

                  And this is what @Chris will buy when he wins the lottery. 😃

                      No, that is definitely not what I'd buy…

                      And I have to say, remarkably outside the norm for Patek, which is generally quite tasteful.

                        I actually spotted one of those Pateks in the window of a dealer a while back. Despite embodying pretty much everything I dislike in watches, I quite liked it. ???

                          Ah, I know that feeling…  😃

                          There are some aspects of it that I like, but to me, the whole is definitely less than the sum of the parts.

                            This is my Mido Iconè.
                            With ETA 80 Si.
                            Accuracy is impressive I never owned a more accurate mechanical watch.
                            Price-Performance-Ratio is perfect IMO

                              That Mido is a nice piece. ETA movements can be incredibly reliable and accurate too.

                                One of my pet peeves in watches is bad case to dial ratio. I dislike big watches with tiny dials. This is the exact opposite of that problem, which makes it great, in my opinion.

                                  I’m with you @Chris which is why I like my Nomos and Junghans Max Bill so much. The dials extends just shy of the edge of the case. The hands are also the right size which is another peeve of mine.

                                      I took a walk out today and saw the new Omega Trésor in steel.

                                      It's a really nice piece. The dial is a bit more reflective than it appears in photograph, so it catches the light more than I expected.

                                        Nice dial colour.
                                        The new master chronometer by omega is the state of the art of chronometer movements.
                                        If I had money, I would buy this

                                          I like their AT150M collection a lot, especially the "golf" models; they hit the right notes of dressy and sporty and are rugged enough not to worry about swimming and such. I think they all feature a jumping hour hand, so if you don't need to track another time zone you still get the benefit of GMT as it pertains to quickly setting time without hacking no matter which model you get.

                                          Think it, be it.
