Good watch brands

[Bill Walker]

Just picked up my BB58 and Harrods.

My 2 Invicta watches look like these. I really like them.

Too funny!

Didn’t have a ready photo of the Omega, but once you posted, had to grab a pic on the bedside table!

It’s a little big for my wrist width, but it’s a good looker!

Lovely - end thread!

Wow. Looks awesome.

Got a new Tag Carrera Calibre 16.

Now that’s fucking gorgeous

 

[SWP's back]

I (sadly) have a landmark birthday in a month or so and my wife has told me this morning she wants to get a watch. She’s spent a few weeks reading up on them and narrowing the choices down but she asked which one I preferred seeing as it’s a bigger present than we’d normally do. Only issue, if that’s the right word, is that I think they’re all lovely and whilst I suggested she bought me all 3, she told me to fuck off.

As there are a dozen or so watch buffs in this thread, I thought I’d ask for your honest opinions.





Now the first 2 are obviously brand new and the 3rd one is 25 years old (with box and papers) and I’ve changed my mind a dozen times already.

Not too bothered about resale as it’s a birthday present nor initial cost as she says they’re all much of a muchness and I don’t want to go about mooching to see exactly how much each one is. Just wondered which people thought looked nicer. (Would be worn a fair amount rather than just for special and I’m not too worried about being robbed here (Borneo) and I wouldn’t wear it out at all when I’m back in SA for Southern Hemisphere summer.

I’m not a watch snob at all but I do like a chronograph.

All 3 are nice pieces mate.
A couple of observations on the omega. The bezel looks misaligned to me. Either a bodged repair or it may have been like that from new (unlikely but not impossible) also the date wheel doesnt look right, its off centre. I'm not saying it's fake, but there's enough here to get the alarm bells ringing.
Be careful is all.

If they were all the same age I’d go for the omega every day of the week (nothing against Tag, they’re great too, but I just love omega) but as it is I’d take the top one. That green is lovely.
Nice choice to have to make, good on you and your missus. Happy birthday

Having had a closer look than the original first glance, the Omega doesn`t look as sharp as it should the numbers and blacked markings on the bezel look smudged.
