Re: A watch I never tire of
An interesting Concept for a thread Lindsey and maybe, if we repeat the process in a few years time, my C60 Concept will feature.
In the meantime, its hard for me to select just one but I think these two pass muster.
C9 Me 109 SPC purchased following the bereavement of my wife of 32 years in 2018 and commemorating her by the serial number being her birth year.
Then there's my behemoth of the Marathon CSAR. Not the pinnacle of my desire, but a quasi-grail for a few years nonetheless, and once obtained enjoyed and worn from time to time.

Re: A watch I never tire of
In all fairness, I have to say I know I have too many watches, but it's a relatively minor vice. Just thinking of my swiss made watches, I always feel spoilt for choice every time I select one, and I know I am privileged to have such a great, if not super expensive selection. There's only a couple that cost over £500.
For instance, I've hardly worn this Montblanc. It came on a bracelet, and I didn't want to scratch the bracelet just messing about at home. For various reasons I haven't been happy with various straps I had, and I haven't worn it a great deal but today I received a couple of Watchgecko straps that really suit it and here's the result.

Re: A watch I never tire of
This one for me. Gives me the same feeling when I wear it as it did when I first bought it almost 12 years ago. It was my only expensive watch at the time(really my only asset period lol) and I eventually had to sell it to pay rent. Took me a long time to be in a financial position to repurchase it.
I’ve now had it back for more than a year, and can promise it’s not going anywhere. Until my son is old enough

Re: A watch I never tire of
I'm not sure I could ever tire of staring at this watch. All the blue colours of the ocean are present and evokes thoughts of faraway shores each time it's worn.
The lacquered, sunburst fumé dial is quite spectacular.

Is that the Lake Baikal, or a different one?
Oris certainly got a winner with the Aquis.

The Clean Ocean is lovely and I have the Clipperton which also has a spectacular dial but strangely hardly wear it, dont really know why.

Re: A watch I never tire of
I was widowed young, but years later I was fortunate to remarry and this watch was purchased on my belated honeymoon in 2013 in Krakow, Poland.
The Copernicus Flagship Regulator has a bespoke Unitas 6498 movement which shares the base for hand wound pocket watch movement from the 50′s. The Copernicus takes its design influence from a submarines manometer. The Regulator was inspired by ORP Orzeł (Republic of Poland Ship, the “Eagle”, British tactical number 85 A), a legendary Polish submarine of the Second World War. Launched January 15, 1938, it was one of the most high-tech ships when the war broke out.

Re: A watch I never tire of
Thanks for the personal insight. Definitely holds some very deep meanings for you and a very cool nod to the polish subs. Kind of you to share this.Richard D wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 11:56 pmI was widowed young, but years later I was fortunate to remarry and this watch was purchased on my belated honeymoon in 2013 in Krakow, Poland.

Sorry one other question. Why the red marker at 50?Richard D wrote: ↑Wed Nov 10, 2021 11:56 pmI was widowed young, but years later I was fortunate to remarry and this watch was purchased on my belated honeymoon in 2013 in Krakow, Poland.
