Which rose gold watch to get?
« on: February 08, 2012, 12:39:29 PM »
Ok guys..been a while..hope all is well.

i've not been looking at watches for months and last week i decided to keep abreast of what are the new watches in the market and chanced upon 3 that caught my eyes. I lack a RG watch and i think i'll go for a dress watch rather than something sporty. Thought it's time for me to reward myself too in 2012

as always, budget prohibits me to buy all so i can only pick one (all sing to me). what's your choice?

1. Harry Winston Midnight Auto with decorated GP movement (2 hands) http://www.harrywinston.com/store/timepieces/midnight/products/midnight-automatic-in-rose-gold

2. Harry Winston Midnight Big Date with FP movement and 3 days PR http://www.harrywinston.com/store/timepieces/midnight/midnight-big-date/products/midnight-big-date-in-rose-gold

3. JLC Master Control

Price point wise, JLC is around S$16K, HW Midnight S$21k and HW Midnight BD is $31k thereabouts

Cheers

I would love to own a HW someday and I wanted to choose 1 of the 2 models you put forth. However, I find this  JLC  mode a better looking watch of the 3 you presented.

Much as I'm a JLC fan (have 3 of them), I also like some of HW pieces. HW are also more unique.
I quite like the HW Midnight Auto, the JLC comes in 2nd as its quite conventional..
this is purely from an aesthetic POV not movt quality and how it eventually sits on your wrist..
For value for money the JLC.. if that is not the issue and purely on looks...the HW Midnight Auto..for me that is..
Personal taste and preferences evolve over years, hopefully not 1 full circle otherwise it means we haven't learnt a single thing.

just wondering, at the price range of HW, why not consider a patek calatrava?
pretty nice and should fit just nice into the category.

if cost is not an object, my choice would be 2, 3 then 1.
