First in line for the Breitling please?!atnits wrote:Today I've been dreaming about the... older Explorer II . The polar one this time. I tried one on today, and I much prefer it to the black one. Enough for it to move to number 1 position on my wants list. I really wanted to commit blasphemy and try it on a leather strap, but I didn't get the chance. I just need to weigh up whether it's worth selling my Omegas and Breitling to get one (probably yes).atnits wrote:Today I've been dreaming about the older Explorer II. Tried one today (the black face). Cyclops really annoyed me. Didn't like the look of the stainless steel bezel. Crown looked too tiny. I think the white face would be a definite improvement, but probably not enough to overcome those factors for me. Next target please...

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
I cannot think of any reason why one should not dream about a Cartier Tank!
Edit:
I am still dreaming about this watch, but having read about the costs for revisions of Reversos, I am having second thoughts (I have already got 1/4th of the funds and was planning to get one in December)
But as Nomos is going to present five new models next week during the Baselworld, the Reverso might soon be replaced by something else.
Nomos, help me out here!

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
Been feeling this watch for a while too. Very much like it on the bracelet. Think it's the flat look it has however I bought something just as good and still haven't posted pictures of it!Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:This, for some reason...

I don't think that AVO can be tempted by any picture of any Rolex watch. Maybe we need some Rolex Cellini pictures here. Or pictures of vintage Rolex pocket watches?

This is extremely nice and clean for an Airman but 42mm, a frustrating size new for 2015.

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
No idea why, but I would love to have this in the watch box. There is something about it that appeals to my wacky nature.

I still prefer the 'vintage', but again, too big:Dancematt wrote:This is extremely nice and clean for an Airman but 42mm, a frustrating size new for 2015.

I'm currently mentally debating these four white/silver possibilities:

Decisions, decisions...
