Title: Top 5 ultimate watch wish list
Post by: takashi78 on November 19, 2010, 10:53:11 AM
Inspiration from another forum.
Lets see what is your wish list or dream wish list of your top 5 watches.
One that will make you happy with just those 5 for you to say "its the ultimate" and cant be improved on for quite some time.
Any watch past present or even future up coming?
It took me quite a while to think of the list but i guess thats what i have in mind at this stage of life.

I'll start in random, pics taken from all over the web.

My off center watch. But now a Lange.

My dress watch which has most beat in terms of finishing.

I have very uncomplicated wants...kinda paiseh to post also  :D I am not much a fan of complicated movements. So my watches are kinda run of the mill  :P

Also being a rough and tumble kinda guy, I prefer watches that can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.  :Dancing_banana:

anyway my 5

1. 16713 Rootbeer on Jubilee - need an everyday T/T Ah Beng uncle watch to blend in with the early morning Chinatown Dim Sum crowd
I shall officially call it the "Dirty Harry" GMT

2. Big Pimping Yellow Gold DD 18238 with black face and stick indices. Never can remember the days unlike the date because of my job. Maybe by getting this I would remember the days of the week better  :laugh:

I always find that the adage "dress up, dress down the watch and dress down, dress up the watch" works with me. This would look great with jeans, plain T and a whole lot of 'tude.

3. A sub, a Rad and a Luminor. That would complete the Pam trinity.

25/24 A,B or C series would be the icing on the cake.

4. Panerai 98. A GP movement with GMT and Alarm. What more can you ask for? Cool and understated  :thumbsup:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/Bigb1124/PAM%2098/PAM981.jpg)

5. The last one was tough.. but in the end simplicity tops it all. The ever classic 5 Mil series Submariner. All beat up and worn ..manufactured in the same year that I was born. Think a +30 year old watch would definitely hold up better to abuse than my body as the year goes by.
