Glen Sannox Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 1 hour ago, The_Kincardine said: Nice choice, Biggy, but I couldn't have 'one watch to rule them all' so I'm using my own rules and, for less than your Daytona, these three would leave me never needing another watch: The daily wearer. Ultra accurate, beautifully finished and easy to wear. I'd go for a Grand Seiko quartz 37mm - but I'd put it on black NATO or a single-piece brown leather strap. £2,000 and a bargain. For wedding and funerals every gent of a certain age needs a plain gold watch. This Piaget Altiplano in rose gold is luscious but not so much a bargain at £14,000 though you can get a two-handed used one for £8,000 For days when you feel like a change and I know you have one but the Speedmaster is a watch icon. However, I don't like big watches and I wouldn't want an automatic watch that I'm not wearing every day so this 40mm hand wound First Omega in Space hits the spot for me at £4,000. That Speedmaster is stunning with that strap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedmasters really lend themselves well to a strap change. I’m heading to watch gecko to look for that colour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is - and if Biggy made me choose just one watch it would be a 40mm hand-wound Speedy on a brown leather strap. You'd not want to wear it to wash the car, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 This is the strap that's going on the Speedie. Watchgecko. is the site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 James Martin rocking a pepsi GMT and a gold Daytona this morning, he had a guest chef on wearing a Milgauss as well. Not really into cooking programmes, but worth it for the watch feast. That hairy biker fuckers got a kermit also.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said James Martin has a pretty impressive collection of Rolex watches With his chubby wrists though the Daytona looks more like a vintage 34mm watch on him. Still not a bad look to be fair, although he really should look to get the James Cameron Sea-dweller Deepsea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendot Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Going by what was mentioned on the previous page about footballers watches encrusted with jewels my choicese of 'money no object' might not go down too well! Christophe Claret Blackjack 21 watch with inbuilt casino games! Saw this featured in a Watchfinder email from a few years back and I was amazed by the non standard features which have been built around the normal watch movement. £200k + price tag but no don't gone up since the article was published. Jacob and Co Astronomia, the above version is a casino themed one although there are others based on the movement design. Again like the Christophe Claret watch the Engineering invloved to make the watch work is phenomenal. You have a Tourbillon movement which turns the four arms which itself has a triple axis Tourbillon which keeps the time. Completely over the top and something which as a watch i feel is completely pointless as it detracts from actually being able to tell the time easily but as a piece of art / engineering its right up there with the best of them. $1million dollar watch. Finally, the Patek Phillipe Grandmaster Chimes. A double sided handcrafted work of art. Up there as one of the best watch manufacturers in the world, there's a video on Youtube showing the craftsmanship that goes into one of these watches so its little wonder that the watch is worth over £2.5 million! On a more realistic budget, when my mortgage is paid off I'll be looking at a Grand Seiko Spring Drive, one of the most accurate automatic watches which performs almost at the same level as a battery powered quartz watch as twice as accurate as the best Rolex Superlative Chronometer. I'd also be looking at getting an Omega Seamaster, probably one of the James Bond limited editions. I'm sure there's others that would take my eye but I can't think of any at the moment.

MONKMAN Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 If the Euromillions came in on Tuesday, then it would be a 1940’s Rolex Antimagnetique for £2.5 million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what it looked like on a black leather nato. Talking of GMT's I was watching 'Posh Pawn' last night and a woman came in with the 'Batman' version of it, fully stickered up, bezel protector, everything, and the robbing b*****d offered her 8 grand, (she didn't accept it luckily) there was another woman whose son had cancer and needed cash, her grandfather had left her a Patek (which he won in a poker game) that she wanted to sell, was in it's box looked unworn, I thought if that's real it's got to be six figures, turns out it was a genuine, yellow gold perpetual calendar chronograph, the chunt offered her 85 grand which she gladly took, was probably worth double that. I then turned it off, and went to bed, absolutely seething. Thank you. eta. She was hoping to get 15k for the Patek.
