Good watch brands

[Xhavenjoe]

Sorry @Xhavenjoe that was lazy of me, and a bit rude.
Not a brand i've had much experience of, i've handled a few, never owned one.
Someone on here i'm sure will own one or will have.
Apologies again

No problem.

Certain watches shout 'watch guy' to the trained eye. Easy to spot, but it's not always obvious.
I've struck up many a convo with someone who is wearing an interesting piece, they always turn out to be knowledgable.
If someone owns an oris, they haven't bought it by accident or coincidence, as it's off the radar to most. Any watch on a nato, usually a watch guy.
Speedy on vintage leather, watch guy. Tag monaco, seiko skx, any orient, even the vostoks, all usually mean the same.
It's the first thing I look for when meeting someone.
Yeah, I know, i'm weird lol

Not weird at all I get this all the time, and when spotting watches too, I have an omega sea master, a Breitling navitimer world - but the one that sparks a conversation is my IWC spitfire strangely - think it’s more of a watch mans watch than the others to be fair.

I miss my wavy dial bond seamaster. Lovely watch, the 9 link bracelet was a work of art.
Yeah the IWC certainly fits the bill.
You have good taste sir

By far the IWC is my favourite watch. My mate has just started working for a particular company that sells high end watches so I can now get 40% off watches. I have literally spent the time since he joined selecting my next watch lol

Cheers mate.

IWC portugieser, hublot fusion, patak philippe Calatrava or a Bremont Wright flyer if I can find a decent one at the right price.

The IWC is a bit of a grail of mine, it's stunning. One day maybe.
Hublot I can take or leave if i'm honest, a bit too new money for me, but I get it, great design, look great on a young chap, which i'm not.
Patek, even at entry level, I cant afford or even try to justify it. Pinnacle of watchmaking, but I will never own one. No sour grapes here, but the patek with the tv dial, cant remember its name, is a bit ugly.
The wright flyer i've only seen pics of, love that crown, cant seem to find an rrp on it.
Not that you asked for my opinion, but i'd be more than happy to have any of those on that list.
Like I said, you have good taste.
Jammy twat ;-)

Shit shit shit.

so I’ve just found this which I personally love. It’s from 2004, anything about it look dodgy at all?







Starting to wish my Mrs hadn’t asked my opinion now. I’m fucked if I can make my mind up and whatever I choose will no doubt be wrong.
