I want to get an el primero.
But now that I know swaye has one that means I probably have suspect taste. -
If it makes you feel any better I got the annual calendar "Captain" Boutique Special version, so just don't get that one. the EP movement is legendary, and a wise addition to any collection.Pitchfork51 said:I want to get an el primero.

What Omega's?Doogles said:I'm loving the hot watch talk. I'm an Omega whore myself, but I'm close to pulling the trigger on a blue dial milgauss to enter the Rolex club.

I'll check Shinola out. Damn dude, ALL the Swiss brands? That's 3 dozen plus luxury brands. That's a lot of watches.Mosster47 said:

I want to get a Shinola next. Detroit made, probably shit, but they're trying. -
I mean the big ones; Rolex, Tag, Omega, Movado, Cartier, and of course Swatch. I had a Breitling but those things are just way too busy for me.Swaye said:

As far as just being a damn nice watch I have a Japanese made Seiko that I bought new about 20 years ago and it's still smooth as silk. I have a pretty fancy Bulova that has little diamonds for the numbers and it's really nice too.
I haven't worn a watch in probably five years. They are just all in the safe, but I'll start wearing them again sometime. -
I love Breitling. I like a blingy watch occasionally. It's funny, the new Breitlings, since George Kern took over, are way more understated. All the people who hated the old ones love the new ones, and vice versa. I'm indifferent I guess, but the new Breitlings look just like IWC's to me. Meh.Mosster47 said:

Hand me down present from my old man. If you try and steal it we can no longer be e-friends.Swaye said:
Not bashing Rolex at all. I have one. And a Zenith El Primero. And a Breitling Chronomat 41. And an Omega Speedy. I love watches, and I especially love stealing them. But, there is no doubt that mechanically there are very few watches that are any better than a GS, and in many cases a GS will match or beat a Swiss watch that costs 5-10 times more. The Japs know their shit. If I can ever manage to steal a GS, bet your ass I will.YellowSnow said:
My early 80s Rolex Quilcine Oyster Datejust is feeling really chinsulted.Swaye said:Grand Seiko watches rival anything the Swiss make. Post WW2 Japs are cool. Pre-WW2 Japs are little yellow bastards.
I should also mention, for those that don't know, a Grand Seiko is made by Seiko, but is an entirely different animal. Like 5-8 grand each worth of different animal.
