Let's see who can guess the watch I just purchased. I'll start with a couple general hints and get more specific as you take stabs at the answer.

1) It's vintage. (no, really? )

2) It's not a Speedmaster (sorry Patrick), nor even an Omega.

3) It's my favorite color combination for a watch dial.

 

I only learned a month ago that there were watches other than Speedmasters. Now you're telling me some aren't even made by Omega?

 

Is blue, is blue!! (this is some inside trader information, good thing we are not regulated by FTC)

 

Well duh! It is a watch I bought so of course it does!

(and you can't play anymore you big cheater)

Sooner than you know it you'll be craving AP perpetual calendars.


..... or not.

Is not. But a good guess since I do have my share of blue dials.

 

Not blue - see above.

Hint time!

4) It has a single complication.

 

I think its got to be orange and black ??

 

Is it a Monster ??

 

Half right, and a pretty good guess.

Nope - hint #1 was that it's vintage.

 

So its got a black dial ?

 

Could it be..........

 

Too easy...

 

I think this is the one...

 

Yes. With some red mixed in. You guys were right that I like black & yellow gold (except for that IceIce monstrosity), black & rose gold, and black & orange, but black & red is the hottest color combination.

 

I'll see your Ice Ice and raise you a Chanel.
