Movado is a little too conservative of a look for me.. but i have big wrists so they would just look silly on me. Alot of peopel seem to like them though.

 

I can understand that. I have a few "flashy" watches also but I kind of like the fact that I am wearing a $3,000 dollar watch and no one knows. :)

 

Your Breitling is a beautiful watch and something similar will probably be my next purchase.

 

I also have large wrists...if you have not worn one I would suggest trying one on. You may be surprised.

Well there's the disconnect. lol

I'm very non-flashy, my tastes are subtle, with an affinity for the steam age. This is the new casual watch, currently being shipped from Neuchatel:

cal is circa 1955

 

The hands need a buffing/polishing, maybe a fresh dab of tritium paint... Will Homeland Security still let me buy that? lol

very nice!

 

I was in Chicago last weekend for a mini vacation and went to Torneau to try on a Breitling Navitimer World and the sales clerk looked at me like i was some 26 year old just wasting his time... until i pulled up my sleeve to take off my Super Avenger... then he perked right up.. it's funny how ignorant and closed minded those people are....

 

Regardless, i found another watch that i'm considering adding to my collection, it will be the first watch i own that is not silver! yikes!

Jaded is probably more the word. Imagine trying to sell a porsche, and having some kids show up to test drive it. Regardless, they're a salesman and shouldn't let that effect their sales attitude; shit happens, be professional.

Late to the party, but man, nice watch. I more like an omega myself, but it will be a little before I can get one.

Omega has been around for quite a while, you could find some decent examples from years-past in your price range.

 

Aged and older. You'll have to do some scrolling. ;)

Robert Uhren huh? nice job. guessing you didnt buy it local.

 

tom

 

i guess i should have saved the pic and then hosted it myself... to keep it a teaser.

 

Yep, Robert Uhren, Very excited to get it. Not too many people have heard of him, i am impressed. And yes, i don't know of a place in the US where you can buy them.
