If you could buy any watch....
« on: March 07, 2013, 05:20:03 AM »
We all have different likes, dislikes, budgets and needs but if you could buy any watch tomorrow what would it be? I doubt everyone will pick the most exotic or expensive, who knows there may even be a G shock or two! We are all different and work in different fields
Mine = The day date 2! Now where is that lotto ticket  :Laughing_on_floor:

The wristwatch please.
No one in the past 50-100yrs i can safely say can make EVERY SINGLE part of the watch with his own bare hands. NO ONE.
Prove me wrong.  ;D

Some fantastic watches so far and no G-shocks!  :Laughing_on_floor: we must all have great jobs where we can wear cotton wool gloves and protect those watches! LOL!  I thought my DD2 was a stretch and to be honest if money was no object I'd maybe pick different but I wanted to keep it real, not sure what my boss would think if I was wearing a +$300k watch, it would be a struggle to come to work on a day thats for sure!  Keep em coming

Definitely will wear it. Of course, it will be reserved for very special occasions, such as an Oscar award. LOL
