Date: July 12th, 2018 10:09 PM Author: Unholy love of her life Don't have pics but here's the list (w/ representative pics from internet):
-- Maurice Lacroix Moonphase Masterpiece http://www.gemnation.com/watches/Maurice-Lacroix-Masterpiece-Phase-de-Lune-MP6428-SS001-11E-15929.html (Copped for ~$3k)
--IWC vintage thin gold dress watch https://www.thewatchgallery.com.au/product/iwc-ref-1205-18k-gold-33mm-manual-calibre-401-dress-watch-from-the-1960s-in-near-new-old-stock-condition/ (Copped for ~$2k)
-- Oris Artelier Skeleton https://www.oris.ch/en/watch/oris-artelier-skeleton/01-734-7670-4051-07-5-21-70fc (Copped for ~$1.5k)
By no means claiming elite status compared to something like OP; I was just aiming for a nice, well-rounded collection of watches that all look good and aren't shitty, mechanically speaking. |

Date: July 12th, 2018 10:28 PM Author: Razzle public bath The moonphase looks nice. The IWC seems awkward to wear with its tiny size. Skeleton watches aren't my style but at least it's by a decent watchmaker. Overall a very respectable collection.
Rate my current collection (not my pics):

Date: July 13th, 2018 2:29 PM Author: Unholy love of her life TY. The IWC *is* a bit small, but since it's very clearly a vintage watch--and also because it's very clearly a "dress" watch--it actually wears decently. I don't think a casual or multi-purpose vintage watch that small would wear as well, but the IWC still works IMO. (I actually got the rec off of Hodinkee, if you're a fellow watch nerd.) I got the rose gold model, which I also think looks better than the yellow gold model for some reason.
I like all of yours--I think they aesthetically bat above their respective price points. The Marathon is a bit plain for my personal tastes, but the Junghans (while also "plain") is very elegant and clean looking, and I really dig that Seiko. Which is your fav? |
|
Date: July 13th, 2018 9:56 PM Author: Razzle public bath TY as well. Which of yours gets worn the most? I'm guessing the moonphase.
I agree on the Marathon being plain, but IMO it's the best option for an entry-level monochrome automatic watch. I was considering Sinn as well (756S/856S), but they seem underwhelming, especially for the price.
Working in the tech industry, it's almost a faux pas for me to wear something other than an Apple Watch or stupid FitBit bracelet to work. I'd probably get laughed at if I wore a moonphase. jfc I need to get out of this industry |

Date: July 14th, 2018 2:11 PM Author: Unholy love of her life Moonphase OFS. I intentionally put a lighter brown leather band on the Skeleton, though, because I wanted to ensure that it would also see some action when I'm wearing lighter brown shoes/belt. It worked, and I never regret having it when it's on my wrist. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4024338&forum_id=2#36425890) |

Date: July 13th, 2018 2:31 PM Author: Bipolar dun gaming laptop locus I've come close to buying that Oris Skelton watch a few times. It might be my next watch actually. It's basically a steal. If the movement wasn't ETA it would be 5x the price and there's nothing bad about ETA movements really. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4024338&forum_id=2#36419784) |

Date: July 13th, 2018 5:09 PM Author: Unholy love of her life TY, notwithstanding your obnoxious Soviet Jew schtick you seem like a man who knows what he's talking about when it comes to elegant luxury watches, so I appreciate this endorsement. Agree 100% with your assessment--I've never regretted buying it, I frequently get compliments on it, and I think it's objectively one of the sharpest looking skeletons at any price point below six figures (which is insane given how cheap it is compared to a lot of the "competitor" models). It comes on kind of a shitty looking leather band, but I switched that out for a much nicer one and it looks like a million bucks.
Do you mind my asking what other watches you currently have in your collection, and what else you have your eye on? |

Date: February 28th, 2021 4:40 PM Author: house-broken theater stage ML are underrated. Their in-house movements on the higher end watches are quality and the finishing and bracelet on the AIKONs are way nicer than other watches in that price range.

Date: April 12th, 2020 7:27 PM Author: Bipolar dun gaming laptop locus Its the perfect sized watch IMHO. And there are no other perpetual calendars for under $50k that I would consider. Only downside is the 38 hour power reserve. On Pateks its 72 hours but they cost 3.5x more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4024338&forum_id=2#39999676) |
