4) Hublot. Typically some of the most expensive watches on the market. I don't like 99% of Hublot but this is a classic IMO.

Hublot's are such ugly watches, i can't imagine how people pay so much for them. FWIW, the watch Farha usually wears is a Hublot.

Just bought a double winder for my watches I recommend for anyone that has more then 2.

And I have Raymond Weil Nabucco, Birks Signature and a Tag SLR.

What do you think of the Omega Speedmaster Pro?

I haven't owned a watch in years, and don't particularly like wearing one (it messes with my chi)... but when I do get one, this will be it:



Anybody know how much? It's hard to find the price for this beauty. "Rose Gold," never even heard of it before but wow.

A good, readily available affordable watch. I don't personally have an affinity for them but go for it.

RoelofZ - Given your age and probably image, I would go for the very first watch in your selection. Watches with Roman Numerals tend to be more suitable for the older generation although I'm not denying 3 of your 4 rolex's are classics.

steggy - I really like this watch. Timeless too. Won't easily go out of fashion.

Irieguy - I'll PM you with some results on that watch.

It's probably the only gold coloured watch i'd buy.

This is the IWC Antoine de Saint Exupery. Relatively rare. The stainless version is about $5000 and the rose gold version is around $15000.

You have expensive taste in watches, sir [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
