The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread

[nbg]

Always wanted a dress watch, always too small........

Until my darling wifey pointed this out!!!



Finally a decent size dress watch.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, you lot will be howling that it is horrible, ugly and too big, but I have wookie arms. )

Now just need to make my appointment....... But it does mean that this will have to wait a bit longer....



Need to decide if it is worth pushing the BP back for.

Advice welcome!

Thanks Neil. You ain't helping!!!!

The Steinhart website tracker says my Steiny BP homage beater arrives tomorrow and I will then see how it holds up and whether I get on with it. If I does, I have already made enquiries with a particular AD about which model I need!!!

porsche design watches...

any views?

Ask Peter (Tickathree) or Zermatt: they might know. If you are a member of 'Secret Sales' they often appear at 50% discount.

Ah good man Steve. Now when I drag poor wifey out to the IWC AD, I can say that I am on a mission from God, Blues Brothers style. She can't possibly complain at that!

There you are, then! Incy Wincy it is!

If the lottery win were to drop in, it would be a platinum Lange 1 time Zone ... just because it has so much (date, power reserve, second time zone, day/night) going on!



Are there any other watches, maybe ones that are a bit more affordable, that have the novelty of a "digital" (jump) hour and minute repeater like another AL&S?

Well, this blows away the IWC Laureus.

Found out how to placate wifey!!! Get one for her too!

Going to see the 'Father and Son set' tomorrow that the AD have got in for me. I am just hoping that the "sons" one (39) is not too big for her.

However, if it is, the sons is also available in 42mm so I could in theory wear both!!!!

Also need to see how the Rhodium dial look in the flesh.

I think that this may be an "either/or" deal!

I can see the Memsahibs good will extending to owning both dial colours! (And if it did, I would then he having a squinty poo at the perpetual calendar BP!!!)

It does look good doesn't it. I will find out tomorrow whether the set the AD has includes the 42 or 39 "sons" model to go with the 46mm father. I forgot to ask!
