Tbf mate it looks pretty much the same as that last breitling monstrosity you presented. Someones gotta say it, gold and steel is a bit, let's say, council estate wannabe gangster.
I would never presume to educate you, you're a smart guy, you've retired I hear, although you never mention it between your rounds of golf ;-)
I had you down as a gentleman, a man of taste and, dare I say it, a certain elegance.
If you want to look like elton john in his skint period, go for it.
Otherwise, get that carerra or an omega, and stop fucking about showing us tatt. ;-)

whatever I choose will no doubt be wrong.

If you love it, that's all that really matters.

No choice is wrong, if it ticks your boxes and is within your price budget.

Yeah, what he said ☝buy what you like sweep.
If you want to look like dale fucking winton.

Joking apart, why not let her choose?
If you like it, happy days.
If you dont like it, just keep it in the safe and tell her you only wear it for special occasions.
Win win
Was only joking earlier mate.
Hope you get a watch you're happy with.

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 ;-)

Agree with you on most hublot but that one is a gorgeous watch. Used to have a patak philippe but fell out of love with it as it was too complicated ironically and could get a really good resale value.

Still a lot of research to go before I choose and time is on my side as it will be a self birthday present in October and I need to get the wife a new car first !!

You too have good take if the IWC is a watch that catches your eye a pure piece of engineering class in every watch they produce.

I love what hublot are doing re the cases, forging carbon etc, they are making some striking watches, and I enjoy learning about it all.
From silicone mainsprings, co axial movements, quartz, lume, clocks, hybrid movements, chronographs, lcd and led. Love all aspects of horology.

Lol! I appreciate your honestly. I don’t think I’ve ever been called a **** quite so eloquently before.

I'm not a watch guy and I know nothing about them but the second pic you posted (Blue Tag) is a nice looking watch.
The one that Roy.R bought is also a nice looking watch.
