Watchlords

Have been looking around to add a few watches finally. Have looked at the Longines Legend diver (worth it or not) and a german watch without breaking the bank. I an not a chrono guy probably because I get confused easily. Looked at Chronoswiss but nothing of interest to me there. Looked at this one https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/fs-1 ... o.5274147/ but I am not an expert on vintage watches so I do not know if the movement and such are correct.








Stowa models including the 41mm Marine




or a Nomos which for the most part have an "in-house" movement




And finally this one which is made by Minerva with an AS 5001 alarm movement similar to my ML Reveil Globes

Both brands make me want to polish the German helmet.

Stowa watches look a bit cheap to me. Never really understood the appeal. Love Nomos. So that's what I would do.

Try Rolex Cellini! Lovely timepieces.

What about a Doxa?

Try a Tudor Advisor! Great substitute to they Montblanc.

Interestingly, there was an Advisor in the Tudor case at the Ben Bridge where I got my BB GMT. It was pretty lonely in there, however. And, of course, Jaw has/had one.

Black IP coated titanium 53mm Achtung Metal/Orange?

Of those, I'd go with the Nomos.

Rado? I like their ceramic tech. Pioneering, original, and significant enough that they probably deserve the overused and cliched icon designation, yet they are still very reasonably priced.

Gotta be the Nomos, man.

I've looked at the Tangente neomatik (40.5mm) with the ring date. Great looking dial and case, and you could wear it casual or dress it up for business. Incredible in-house, classically decorated movement, and very cool date complication - the numbers are a bit small but I had no problem reading them. The watch was super comfortable with the angled lugs and a really nice full grain leather strap. Even the leather presentation case was cool.

Would'a bought it if I could'a.

I don't think you can go wrong w/ any of those mentioned above..

.

I voted.

Yema Flygraf is really cool and really affordable. You already have a Yema don't you? Vrey cool brand.

If you don't mind spending a bit, the most impressive watch I've handled in a long time is the Bell & Ross BR-O5 on the bracelet. Absolutely STUNNING.

Ebel Sport Wave GMT?

Formex Essence Leggera?

Citizen Series 8?

Great looking - IIRC these were on the small side- 36 or 38mm.

39.5mm

^^^ Nothing wrong with that-

With the DeVille in the mix...

Classic B&W enamel dial with Roman markers and dauphine hands, and the seven link bracelet give it refined, structural looks (would also look great on a nice black croc-o-gator strap for dressy or black tie occasions - if anyone does that anymore), and I'm partial to the coaxial movements.

...My 2¢, the Omega's the one.

Agreed.
