nice watch claudia!! it''s a nice balance of rugged sophistication and sparkle!!
and it smells nice too? yum!

 

[northstar_78]

I wear the ESQ Chronicle...and I love it! I like the fact that the watch has a small face which keeps the band itself thin. It has neat little blue hands too...

I''d love a Cartier Tank but...

Watches, great idea, Last year I bought my husband the Breitling Navitimer he''d always lusted after and the joy on his face was wonderful. When I got it, I personally didn''t like it but it has grown on me and I now love it too.
I had been wearing a Rotary for years and always fancied a ''good'' one myself, so I decided to shop around.
I Liked the Omega Constellation with diamonds, the Tag Heur Alter Ego with diamonds and also the Cartier two tone tank francais ( sp!) but I ended up with the one that stole my heart and I thought was more versatile- 100m waterproof, yet stunningly simple for day or night wear-

The Breitling Callistino two tone 18ct gold/Steel. Love it.... I have it on a Breitling green croc strap at the moment,I think its more personalised than the two tone rouleux bracelet( that I quite like for when the leather gives up.) (maybe we''ll get matching anoraks next.....I don''t think so)

I have an Omega Constellation two tone with diamonds and a blue mop face which after buying just showed too much wear for me. My father bought be a

Breitling B-Class

all stainless steel white Mop face diamonds on face and bezel when I started flying, it was stolen

For my 21st birthday he bought me a Breitling Callistino steel/24k diamonds on face and bezel white mop face. I tried with pictures but mine seem to be too large to load onto pricescope...

however they have a web page which is worthy of many hours of daydreaming. Or at least I think so. SEXY BREITLINGS! Enjoy Ladies!

just thought i let you guys know,most of the "quartz" watches can be purchase at 35% off of retail price.the more "diamonds"the more discount.

 

[glaucomflecken]

wow I love seeing everyone's watches! I'm a big watch person, ever since the days of coca cola watches and wearing 3 or 4 swatch watches on one hand!!! Currently I have 2 Gucci watches, got this one off ebay a few years ago and its my every day watch. I adore it.

 

[glaucomflecken]

And this one is my dress watch. My friend''s mom used to work at Gucci so got me a good deal on it. It was my graduation present to myself a few years ago.

Nice watches Glauc

 

[Jennifer5973]

How could I forget about Gucci? Beautiful! Hmmmm.

i thought diamond price increase was bad during the pass 18 months,i just check out some prices for luxury mechanical watches,up 40+%

 

[noobie]

I know

It really sucks. I was thinking of buying one last year. My wife wants to buy me one this year. I got sticker shock. No good online dealers either

noobie
actually there''re some good online dealers for watches,what brand and model are you looking for ?

 

[noobie]

Not totally sure yet, but looking at Blancpain, Breguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, maybe Zenith and Ulysse Nardin. Maybe if I had your money, Lange and Sohne

Do you know any good dealers?

don''t worry about money,mrs. noobie has plenty,she''s buying it for you, right?

i think Jaeger-Le Coultre or (JLC) for short is the best value,beautiful finish on the movement.most of the brands you mention can be purchase for 30%-40% back of retail price.here are couple links below.make sure to check out their reference.

[Bagpuss]

Just bought this - Omega DeVille, 18ct + 0.3ct diamonds. Love it!

 

[Bagpuss]

I also wear this one when I'm wearing my plat/white gold stuff. (It's not the real Cartier deal, wish it was, but I love it too!

)

 

[Catmom]

Wow, I love seeing everyone''s watches

. Bagpuss, I love your Omega DeVille, it''s wonderful!!

Here is my Geneve, 14kt tri color. I would love to wear it more often but it seems I am very hard on watches and if I wear it too much, then the crystal pops off. I usually wear my seiko dual toned.

 

[belle]

oh yum! love that geneve tricolor catmom!!

 

[Bagpuss]

Thanks catmom

I like your tri-colour too. It looks as if it''s made up of pastel shades - really pretty.

 

[Jennifer5973]

I know there are fancier brands of watches but I stick with my Movados...I just love them and they are affordable enough so I can have a variety. I picked this one up a couple of months ago as a reward for a big project at work that I pulled off...It was also on my 2005 "list." I love the new gray face.

 

[Jennifer5973]

And this little sucker I picked up today when i stopped at my jewelers to pick up my new thumb ring.... I LOVE the pink face...it''s so elegant and simple.

PS If any one else is thinking about buying a Movado, my jeweler told me the prices are going up significantly at the end of July.

Nice Watches Jenn.
That new one with the pink face matches your new ring.

Jenn
nice looking watches.

i want to change my watch to a PINK color dial but,my wife said it''s too girly looking.

 

[msb700]

this is a fun post! thought id add my watch collection.

The Barthely is my ''evening'' watch, as its too shiny to wear for every day use...the chornotech has now become my ''daily watch''...it doesnt show from the picture, but it has a very nice angled face to it...Last but not least is my raymond weil which i have had forever and ADORE, but the clasp broke when i fell down the stairs the other day =((((...i still havent gotten a chance to go and see if it can be fixed...

 

[msb700]

if money was of no object, then i would LOOOOVE to get the Special Edition Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust in white gold. I can''t seem to find a picture of it to post (I can''t copy the image on the rolex main website.)...Will try to find one and post it..it truly is a beauty!!

 

[msb700]

[belle]
