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

[downer]

^^ Me too, Ferg. I tried it on again yesterday evening, and even made some enquiries about the price. The AD in Munich Airport wasn't prepared to do much of a deal (new model etc), and the EUR:GBP is not too clever right now, so it didn't stack up.

I compared it to a blue Milgauss (I know they're not really similar) but I strongly preferred the Omega for its subtlety and timelessness.

Good to hear it's still good on second viewing Richard.
The exchange rate is good for me at the moment though

They wear very nice too

Albeit the White face on bracelet.

Well I'm not sure if I've ever dreamt of a watch on this thread yet but I'm currently deciding between this:

A watch:


And this:

Not a watch:


One would be clearly easier to keep from the missus for a while

Ha, no Kari, popped in to try on way back from shopping

Just wanted to see what it looked like......very nice it was too, but not for me at the moment.

[Korkki]

Sooooo disappointed...

Love the colour this

JS Watch is a very interesting watchmaker. I really like the 101 model.

They are very nice watches that I would be happy to own - however currently not at the expense of one of my collection. Both the blue and the white dials are lovely and have that something extra about them.

Unusually (for me) I much prefer the Globemaster on the strap. The bracelet end links are very square... I'm also surprised that I like the bezel.

Agreed. Mostly. Globemaster looks better on strap. Nice watch, not as nice as a vintage Connie though.

Want the Yachtmaster, love the quirkiness of the Proplof, probably end up with the Brietling - it's a blue and white thing for me at the moment......

+1 on the get the bike comment....it's amazing. The watch, while quite nice, isn't.

Have had a small but totally unexpected windfall of a couple of hundred quid and am probably going to indulge my long-standing desire for a B-Uhr watch.

Front-runner at the moment, value for money being the biggest priority, is a Steinhart Nav B-Uhr Type B in 44mm size:



I realize it breaks my "no automatics" rule, but maybe I'll give them one last chance (Steinhart do handwound watches, but not of this particular model).

How about a Laco? Available in 42mm or 45mm, Automatic or Hand Wound



Guy

You're right, but that Laco costs twice as much as the Steinhart...
