This is the one i was referring to earlier. I used to hate Breitlings - now i own one and i am trying real hard not to spend money on this one too...

Yours looks awesome...

The Breitling range for me - i used to hate them for the marketing, busy dials, the fact that every wanna be out there was wearing one (fake more often than not).
I now own a Chronomat Chronometre...

Meistersinger 03 - i loved it when i tried it a while back. Then i got it and could not bond with it.
Currently trying to off load it ... :(

Gorgeous, congratulations. I don't care much about the gold version myself but still awesome watch.

[QUOTE=Neil.C;2500174]Something like these perhaps?

Not for sale though. :friendly_wink:

Yep, exactly. Been looking on ebay for some time now but no luck yet.

Both are gorgeous. Congrats
I am also hunting for a vintage Defy. I am after the more chunky ones though.

JLC for me.

Reasons:
History and reputation in watchmaking world. To use a cliche - JLC is he watchmaker's watch - this matters to me at least
Not a fan of this particular IWC (or any other...

Thanks a lot...

Please do. I am going to Vienna for Christmas an would lve to checkout the 2nd hand sellers. Looking forward to your findings

Thank you all. i have a nice list of places to visit now.
@ mihaixp - thanks for the heads up. i cleaned up the Inbox.

Greetings from Sofia, Bulgaria. I believe there are 2-3 of us Bulgarians on TZ

Hello All,

I will be in Bucharest this weekend. Can anyone recommend a watch store to visit? Ideally, ones who sell Zenith, JLC, GO....
Search did not turn up anything so hopefully we have some...

I own a Stowa Antea. Beautifully made watch and the attention to detail is remarkable. I'd not hesitate to order another Stowa.

Kamen

Here is mine. It arrived today :bounce:

Steinhart Nav B-Uhr II for me.
If i am lucky I will land a vintage Zenith Defy as well...

Zeniths do this to you. I have been in love for the past 2 years.
Recently I saw and tried on the Captain Dual time and Captain El Primero. Gorgeous watches.
Odd thing is that i do not own one...

Nomos - fits the budget and you will have some change for drinks.

Wow, OK i want to build my own watch now. :bounce:
Damn, it must be very satisfying to wear something you built. The fact that it keeps good time is just an added bonus really :D

On topic,...

...well have a lie down and take a couple of paracetamol and hopefully you'll feel better soon. :D[/quote:24st6rg5]

:D good one.
I find them odd but as someone said: "there is no beauty that...

Try to get info on Watchuseek. There is plenty of knowledgeable people there.
Look for a guy with a nickname ulackfocus. He knows his Omegas.

I tried the old black chronoscope this weekend. I have been after one for some time and i was so excited when i saw it in the shop.
Did not pull the trigger because:
It actually does stick out....

Simple answer is no, the contrasting dials are very rare. We see maybe 20 to 30 of all Valjoux 72 variations come up for sale each year. I have seen one SN for sale this year from a European dealer....

@ CmdrBond - stunning picture of a truly beautiful watch. Used to be my grail but new Omegas have somehow lost their appeal recently for me.
Still - exquisite watch.

Real beauty indeed
Just wondering - are there a lot of these on the second hand market? I have tried several times to search around but either i am doing it wrong or not looking at the right place....

I could never do this for a job. I'd end up shooting someone/myself. But when I see the end results - oh my!!! - I really appreciate the craftsmanship.
Pictures of the Senator made me start looking...
