+1 to that one! That VC is gorgeous.

Thanks for the link, that's really interesting

You just made me want to buy such an HBB as well!! Thanks for the great pics, it helps with my decision.

Thanks for the heads up Victoria! Very nice of you!! I like it a lot actually, seems perfect for work ... I'm definitely putting that high on my list now. It's really elegant, but still young and with a black leather strap it looks perfect! Another problem popped up though, I looked at b16a2's post on his HBB Black Magic... That one looks amazing!! I've already been in contact with Andrew about it actually. I'm afraid I'm going to buy two watches... I'm going on holiday soon though and I want to be sure I'm home when they arrive, so I'm going to order them after my holidays. As they say in German "Anticipation is the best joy" Here's the pic of his Black Magic

Thanks for the info!! I hadn't realized that that IWC was so small and didn't have the same quality as the other one. And I agree, IWC is something a bit more "non-common" than Omega. The only problem is that a colleague has one as well (a gen). I guess the choice isn't easy... Found this pic of a member who has an Omega Speedmaster with a leather strap (toomuchgear). Not sure if I really like it (no offense meant ofcourse!!!)

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been looking at some of the posts on Swiss customs, that's pretty scary... I guess it's to be expected though. Saw something funny though: through google I came on a page of the site of the swiss watch industry where they say something about piracy being wrong, it's supporting and financing organised crime etc etc and then I clicked on their home page and the first headline "Swatch Group Net Profit: One Billion!"

Thanks for the quick replies! I've been doing some research already, but there's just so much on here, and every time I go into a thread I end up in ten other threads at the same time and in the end I didn't know what I was looking for anymore I guess you're right on the Breitling, it's quite sporty. That IWC on the leather strap looks really elegant though... I want to be able to sort of "pull it off", not that clients or other people see me with the watch and wonder what the heck I have on my wrist (ie too expensive or just not fitting). This is the other one I had in mind: Leather straps look good... I'm going to try to find some pics of the Omega with leather straps (on the Omega site it just has it with Steel for some reason) On my Zenith enthusiasm, their watches are just works of art...

Hi all! I am quite new to this forum, only been lurking for like a week, but I already spent hours and hours on here reading a lot, lots of interesting and fun posts! I actually wasn't much of a watch enthusiast up till a short time ago. But a few weeks ago I ran into the Zenith website for some reason and saw their fabulous watches. I didn't know watches could look that good! No, here's not a question on whether there are Zenith reps out there I've read enough here to know there aren't any. Plus I would want a gen Zenith, I think they're worth it But while I'm enjoying the idea of buying a Zenith, I'd like to buy a new watch. I haven't worn any for the last 4-5 years... I've been looking around, and been through many infatuations already (ooh, I love the Big Bang, no, I love the Aquaracer, ohno I want a Breitling! etc) But now comes the serious stuff, what to really buy! :cc_confused: I thought about a watch which can be a daily beater and which I can wear to work (suit, many rich people around there, I'm sorta junior) So here's my short list: Omega Speedmaster DayDate White Breitling Chronomat Evolution SS White IWC Spitfire Pilot Chrono (either SpitFire Pilot Chrono SS White or White SpitFire SS Chronograph) (so all with white dials) What do you think is the best rep of those? Any good ones I forgot which fall in the same category? And what do you think about the strap, steel or rather leather? (I know it's a matter of taste, but I have no taste ) Also, I live in Switzerland... any worries about customs here? Well, I hope it's not too many questions at once thanks for your help already!
