Watches - another OCD problem

Want a green Nautilus? Loupe This are currently auctioning one, and the price has (at the time of writing) hit $332,000, with five days to go.

The Nautilus is objectively a nice watch, though it's never really done it for me, but I remain to be convinced that it's worth nearly $300K over list. Several people, who are considerably richer than me, disagree.
-
There are tens of thousands of people in the world for whom that price tag has the same meaning as a venti latte has for us. Good for them. Paying $300k over list is how they spread their money around.
I do wonder, along with many others, what are the watches that will prove later to have been great purchases now.
-
I also wonder what the residual value will be on that Patek. They’ll probably do a tax write off as a depreciating asset…. Yeah, it’s a phenomenal watch, but it’s just nonsense at that price. It’ll probably go to some talentless tosspot, who through the sheer degradation of society has achieved fame. I’m sure it will look lovely with their Versace tracksuit

Upgraded my Tudor 79230N to a 116610LN recently, loving every minute of it, literally! Especially when paired with the Buffalo UHF.

Pure classic @orion213

@orion213 A stunner there. I have the non date 124060. Great watches, very versatile.
I had always been a bit adverse to Rolex due to the some of the negative image but having had my hands on a few of them I realised they were just well made robust pieces. I now have four of them.

FIFTY FATHOMS MIL-SPEC

Speaking of indigo, in the last few days I've seen a number of pics of the not-yet-released-yet-already-sold-out GS SLGA007 and it's lovely! Look it up on IG:

(With this said, I'm actually not a fan of the new hour markers & hands, esp. for dress models.)

Tudor have just unveiled the Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale, which was designed for combat divers.
As is common for military watches, it has fixed bars, but these are machined into the case.
I like it, though I wish they'd used the Master Chronometer movement from the Black Bay ceramic.
Monochrome and Hodinkee have hands on-articles.

I know most of u are in another price range but anyhow…
Anyone have any experience with Stowa watches?
I’ve been on the fence for a while now, looking at the Aviator classic 40 and the Aviator classic sport (43mm and 20atm as opposed to 5atm)…I guess if the sport came in 40mm it was an easy decision.

If Panerai is your thing, dont let me dissuade you but I’ve had two PAMs (000 & 308) and they were both pretty big and kinda boring to look at. I LOVED them both at first but after a couple months dials just looked so empty & the lug to lug makes wearing slim cuffed shirts a pain.
I think PAM resale isnt what it used to be either which makes me wonder how well they sell these days. Just my experience/opinion of course for what it’s worth.

Moser makes such beautiful things and they still have a good sense of humor about it. Love their watches and would love to own one some day.
Congratulations on yours and a good choice. That green fumé is stunning!

I had a radiomir a couple years back and sold it cause the wire lugs werent the sturdiest and the movement ran fast. Up until the movement issue i loved wearing it. Then i had to have the most Accurate TM and fancy and got a datejust. I like it still but it started running slow. So fuck it im goin with the designs that catch my eye and tbh i love the crown guard and the curves of the 50s case. I almost wish it didnt have the date but shrug i dont think theyre gonna make my perfect watch and i gotta just accept it lol.

Great score @JDelage , it's so beautiful and retains a sporty aesthetic. One of the best-looking bracelets in the biz too.
-
What a beautiful timepiece @JDelage. I think it will be a future classic. You can see some of the the much spoken about integrated Genta designs language reinterpreted in the streamliner series. The bracelet design is stunning and blends so well into the case, well done Moser!
Have been trying to view one of these for a while now but no luck. Harrods in London appear to be the only UK dealer and whenever I have gone in to the store they do not have anything from the streamliner collection to show. Guessing all these watches just come in and straight out onto a customers wrist.
