I knew mine was a waste of money

I really like the Submariner - lovely looking watch. Just couldn't afford to buy one right now, whether hewn from gold or not.

Get a Steinhart like the man above, thats a good step in the right direction

Breitling Aerospace
Breitling Navitimer
Breitling Airwolf Raven
Rado
Gucci

I have a few others too but these are my most common ones. When I'm done with medical school I'm going to treat myself to a Hublot Big Bang I think

Phate · 22 Mar 2011 at 18:39

I need a nice watch

Shame the only thing I like is an £1800 Rado but ah well nevermind

Speaking of which can anyone comment on the Rados?

Von Smallhausen · 22 Mar 2011 at 18:40

I have a Rado Diastar as a dress watch.

Phate · 22 Mar 2011 at 18:41

Nice, I want a Rado Sintra

Something like this..

Does anyone know what model this is? It's gorgeous.

I need this watch in my life, but alas I cannot afford it.

Does anyone know of something very similar in the looks department but a fraction of the price?

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Quantum of Solace edition

Nice watch Phate.

The Diastar has a plain face and no dials.

Cool

I hope to buy one with some money coming to me this year, be a nice pressie to myself

Phate as you can see above, I keep a Rado in my collection too as a dress watch. My Breitlings don't fit well under some of my cufflinked shirts, the Rado is about 5mm thick at most which is perfect. Good watch, it's actually the first expensive watch I ever bought.

Phate · 22 Mar 2011 at 18:52

Nice

I have a Storm thing which I wear as a daily which is fine for now. Do want a nice, as you put it, dress watch though

[ui]ICEMAN · 22 Mar 2011 at 18:54

Yeh my Breitlings are my daily watches. I get some odd looks at school sometimes when I take off a $10k watch to do some lab work but hey, I'm a lot older than most of the students

. At least I'm not wearing an AP or Hublot like some of my friends do....

Omega Planet Ocean, Quantum of solace edition. Personally, I like it, except for the "Quantum of solace" logo etched on the crystal.

What do people think of TW steel watches? I like breitlings and seamasters but will be many years until I can afford anything like that.

I also remember seeing another brand that was some guys name beginning with J....J**** ****** London I think? They were reasonably priced from what I remember.

It's a couple of mm larger in diameter, and about 1.5mm thicker than the IWC pictured and can be bought with a PVD (black) case or polished steel as per the picture. There are a couple of other similar watches made by them too, and are indeed a fraction of the cost (~£60).

DM · 22 Mar 2011 at 20:30

Iceman, stop with all the Breitlings, too many dials and functions for me to understand

I'd need a magnifying glass to use their slide rule.

Thanks! They've got some pretty nice looking stuff, i.e:
