I’d definitely get something custom but wearable in a low key kind of way.
I like the idea of an Artisans de Geneve designed modern 1016. I don’t think that would cost more than £40k though. I guess I need to find something to spend the rest on.
You've suddenly started to post profusely after over a year of contributing very little. This is commonly seen when somebody has something to sell, and there have been no end of examples where an unusually chatty member suddenly loses the same level of interest at 250 posts. In a large unmoderated community it is to be expected that some will comment on such activity so it's best to develop a thick skin in these parts.Originally Posted by ChronoPantera

Would I spend any time at all on a watch forum?

How many would you wear at a time?
There's one current Rolex model listed in the whole thread.
Simple answer: a blue dial, platinum IWC Mk XII. I'd have to find one second hand. And I'd have a lot of change.

Yes you did. Up your game, we've seen it all before.

Yep. I'm a relative noob, but dread the day that Eddie decides to pack it in - few things change for the better, and IME forums especially not.
A datograph, a zeitwerk, a VC overseas perpetual calendar, an AP RO perpetual calendar, a chronometre bleu and a classic model from Laurent ferrier
Sounds like the start of a 'walk into a bar joke'.

Thanks for the pragmatic common sense of your post.
I really don't have any current plans to sell anything, and take on board being thick skinned. (I was more keen to get to 50 so I could see what was for sale.)
(However take on board that maybe some people would post incessantly to try and reach 250 if they had something to sell.)
I just had a bit of time to kill, and didn't realise there was quite a lot of interesting topics on the forum, so started posting.
i'm not bothered by the Naysayers or NIMBY's... it's water off a ducks back.
I started this thread because i thought it'd be interesting and i might come across some new watches i'd not heard of.... and I have.

Nice selection, I like the tropical Pepsi you chose.The EXP2 1655 has always been high on by desire list, so one of those.
And then 3 tropicals - Patek 3800, 1680/1675.
MOP dial pastel FF because I wouldn't have to worry about never being able to sell as it's pretty gross but I like it.
American release of the JLC memovox tribute to deep sea alarm.
And finally the GO Original 70s chronograph with orange dial on bracelet & rubber.
Think along with my pre-existing stash that would be me done so id then turn my attention to having a Frank Lloyd Wright designed house built in Scotland with a safe to keep them all in.
One can dream I suppose!
I presume the MOP 50 fathoms is for your wife/girlfriend/ mistress ? as agree with you it's pretty gross to my eyes, (but my misses likes it.)
Also £100M won't be enough to resurrect people from the dead !! - Frank Lloyd Wright was prolific in the early 20th century, and died approx 60 years ago.
(However with £100M you could buy one of his portfolio, dismantle it, ship it, and have it rebuilt in Scotland!)
Nearly dropped my morning coffee at that comment.

Win £100m?
Mother-in-law does do Euromillions sometimes, so it is possible.
Instantly buy a Smurf. I love my 16610, and crave the blue colour. Then buy a new bracelet for my 16610.
Watchwise after that:
- one of those TV dial GOs, probably the tiffany blue one that Verv chose
- A Nautilus with the dark blue dial, probably the moonphase version
- A Ressence
- Co-axial speedy with the date
That will do as a start. Priority will be income and charity.
I am the girlfriend/mistress.
Im pretty sure I could get some schematics to build a FLW rep if money was no option :)
Homeage, shurely?

Very good
boom boom - very good
That 50 F looks like a lady's watch, and the other are all mens watches.
hence my comment
Also in reference to your profile photo, I don't think Lee Van Cleef would be dropping his coffee over that !!
Buy the forum and global ignore you?
Roger Smith series 5 open dial or series 1I'd commission a piece by Roger Smith to own a watch made by him. Additionally, I would buy as many George Daniels one-off pocket watches, and an example of each of his wrist watches as came on the market and have them displayed somewhere in the UK for all to wonder at his genius.
That George Daniels is a thing of great beauty.

Urwerk 103
not to everyones taste, but beautifully made and interesting.
Also good for when appearing on the next Star Trek Movie

There isn't really a mega money watch that appeals to me but something that's out of my current financial reach but which I think is gorgeous is the Green dialled gold speedmaster
I think I would be emailing Roger W Smith and getting him to make me something.

I'd agree with you on that one. I've owned and subsequently sold a speedy but that green and gold one is a beauty.There isn't really a mega money watch that appeals to me but something that's out of my current financial reach but which I think is gorgeous is the Green dialled gold speedmaster

Deffo one of these, which I would wear all the time except in the pool... :0)
I would buy all 3 - and combine the blue dial with the blue bezel from the white gold and have them put in the stainless steel to make the perfect blue stainless steel sub without a cyclops.
Intersting idea, a Blue stainless Sub.I would buy all 3 - and combine the blue dial with the blue bezel from the white gold and have them put in the stainless steel to make the perfect blue stainless steel sub without a cyclops.
You could just buy the steel sub, and get the AD to supply and fit a blue bezel and blue dial..... same outcome.
Good luck with that.
well if they object you just buy the dealership !!
(£100M you could commision Roger Smith to build it for you !!)
Please stop this nonsense, Sales Corner is not what you think it is, seriously.

Only one watch. A steel Daytona (Paul Newman) tri colour Panda. That would do nicely.

the irony. (hint: check out verv’s posts). On a more friendly note. Do join the next vGTG and we can explain where my profile photo is derived from. :-)
as far as the watches go.
I’d be happy with a 6102P to add to my collection.

Give the poor boy a break - he's probably got a van-load of snide Barbours and dog egg-encrusted size 7 trainers to offload...
More than 170 of your posts have been since 1 January, a rate of well over 3,000 per year.
Despite what you claim, it does appear that you are pelting hell-for-leather for the promised land by posting any old tiresome dross.
