What watch do you wear?

[Ewaf]

Cheers for that mate. I've read mixed views about parnis though.. some say they are fantastic value, others say they are crap!

the SS Daytona is a 5 grand watch tops and the Sub a 3.5 grand watch, Rolex are trying to play with the big boys on price without the quality to back it up ( They are still great watches but not at the prices they are asking ) Rolex are a great brand but they are not AP, PP, JLC, L&S etc and should keep their prices in line with their peers

AP - Audemars Piguet
PP - Patek Philippe
JLC - Jaeger LeCoultre

Can't figure out who L&S are? Would those 4 companies make up your top 4 watch brands Rotty or are there any other notable mentions?

Lange and Sohne. Vacheron Constantine is another.

For me though, the watch I would have if money was no object would be the JLC gyro tourbillon

the gyrotourbillon 2 is awesome but at the wrong side of £250k it will have to wait for now

Just had a look for it.

It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

what is the difference between these that makes them ~£200 apart?

is it just the extra hand? I like the colour scheme of the expensive one, but they dont do it in non-gmt

Movement - the orange one has a 2893-2 and the other one a 2824-2 (or Selita equivalent) the 2893-2 has the GMT function and is a higher grade of movement (not that there is anything wrong with the 2824-2)

Do you want the GMT function?

 

[Amleto]

no, dont want/need gmt function.

My parents got me this one when I started working. They thought it would look unprofessional to turn up without a watch! It's the men's one which I prefer, the lady ones are ridiculously small.

What about Breguet?

It's a fantastic looking watch, another great one from CW

I just spotted a C15 Automatic on sale at Christopher Ward for £135, really tempted to get it as my first watch.

Those rubber watches from primark, does the job.
