Watches

AP are probably one of the finest watch makers on the planet, base models for something like their Royal Oak collection you’re looking at around £15-£19k

Patek Phillipe is another one, some lovely watches but the craftsmanship is just immense

Vacheron Constantin are up there.

I only really like Skeleton watches and due to the cost sold mine a few years back along with a tag.

Might have a look at some towards xmas time, treat myself.
 
Don't wear one often but I go for comfort when I do. The Nike Triax avoids that pointy wrist bone whatever it is. Best design for comfort. Ugly as sin though.

You can get some very nice Perrelet skeleton watches on the grey market.

Ive had a look but cant see any which i like. For me the vacheron constantin ones are next level...very expensive but they look amazing.

I got so many compliments when wearing my old one...even waiters in Singapore stopped to ask about it + clients and friends.

Needed the cash at one point though so sold it + a Tag to generate some funds :)

Yeah, no question! VC are way above Perrelet. Was just throwing it out there for a much cheaper alternative. But yeah, VC...never owned one as they are out of my price range, but I love their VC Overseas chronograph with white dial.
 
Disappointed I missed this thread .. was about to start one and thought to look.. so yeah

Been YouTubing watches almost very night since March.. how they work, which brands, 2nd hand v new etc etc... I had an itch some years ago after seeing an Omega Speedracer and fell in love. But I just couldn’t justify the expense... so ended up buying the cheapest Tag (formula 1) I could find.. it looks great (love sporty rubber straps) but didn’t satisfy the itch.

So back in the market for another.. justifying by saying I have 2 boys as well..

After all that research I have narrowed down to the new Omega Seamaster 300m.. but also love the aqua terra. The Rolex Explorer would be awesome too but that Omega has the wow factor and the mechanism is years ahead. Can dress it up and dress it down... stunner! I have skinny wrists though so not sure it’ll suit me.. that’s where the aqua terra I think had more size options.

The Sea Master 300 comes in two sizes, the regular like the one in the picture and a smaller gents

I’ve got the smaller 300, as my wrists are skinny too.

The new one as well? Thought it was in the 42mm only... I know the pre 2018 version (which is also a stunner) I think also comes in 38mm or 39mm.....
