I really want a YG type XX but I must be frank: my CPA has one and it hasn't aged well at all. It's mostly his daily wearer but the watch looks "tired". and, it's not because of the gold getting nicked up...the watch looks a little beat.

i still think it's the best looking watch ever made. Matt Bain sold a mint XX for ~8500 last year and I wasn't "ready". Still get a little pissed about that. First world problems. My dad (rip) would beat my a$$ if he heard me bicth about something lame and petty like that...

 

0 out of 10 for me also. I do have a Reverso high on my list when I get back into serious watch buying. I'll keep my non-iconic watches thankyouverymuch!

Why no DateJust?

 

I am not sure I could agree with myself on what belongs on such a list.

As it stands, I have owned several of those shown. A couple remain, others have been moved on.

 

You're always right with regards to all things watches. I'm sure there are other things that you (((suck))) at but you have the highest watch IQ of anyone I've ever known or met. I realize you probably hate when I drool and dribble all over you but the truth is the truth.

 

Maybe you would consider a Cartier if you ever wore a Tank Obus Mechanique Privee Collection ;-)

 

not unless i got the cufflinks

 

I finally got to use that emoticon .

I hope I employed it correctly .


most likely, not.

 

5/10 if not the exact models shown

 

Sorry John - No Cigar!

Please excuse my bad scan as it was taken a few years ago when I was learning how.

These "Buttons and Tac" were made to go with the watch my Mom had made for Dad. The watch, a Christmas present, was engraved "Mike love Claire 1955"

Only these remained after my Parents suffered a home invasion in 2007. These were still in my Dad's shirt and tie from the night before. Dad's reasonable watch collection and all of Mom's jewelry were taken ;-(

Thank God, Mom and Dad weren't home when this happened.

 

apple never falls far from the tree

 

Still pass on both counts...

 

5 3 register chrono's?

8 round dials?

seriously, no Polyplan?

No Curvex?

No DJ or DD?

and no Ventura?

I'd do the Reverso and prolly the Heuer but everything else is almost exactly the same as the watch next to it.

 

Sub.... why not as the quintessential dive watch have the Panerai?

 

No Seamaster? Its history does go back far.

 

Absolutely true. However, since 1990 it has become an icon of Italian style in watchmaking.
