Wow, great find.
RG
Damnit man! I go to antique shows and sift thru pocket wacthes but the sellers always know what they have.
that is truly an awesome find. It just shows you the stupidity level out there.
I am sure it is quite heavier than most, and man when you open that 18K
basically slaps you in the face......
nice one mate!

So I'm getting married soon and I'm kind of looking for a real dress watch to wear formally. I started thinking about what a dress watch really is and realized I definitely don't have one. Like a DJ or DD isn't really a dress watch because it is so well worn as a crossover now as an example. Obviously most of us focus on sports watches here and I thought it would be cool to ponder something else for a bit. There are many, many watches that sort of function as both. For me I kind of also think that a bracelet retracts from the dressieness of any watch believe it or not. So I tend to feel that strapped watches are more dressy than bracelets. But you may not see it that way. Hence the thread...
So I was trying to ask what watch would I only really wear with a suit? And that is my question to you all. What are some of your favorite dress watches that you would only really wear formally. Not a tux per se but what you would reach for in a perfect world if you were full on dressed to the nines - Armani - tie - pocket square - shoes - you know the deal. I also would like to hear your thougts on what distinguishes a pure dress watch in your mind.
So far I have only found two but my interest in one is waning. I started getting into the Lange 1's a while ago but I realized I just sort of like to look at most of them and I'm not sure if I really love them to wear per se. For that price, I damn well better! But still, it ceratinly qualifies and I'm sure many of you might mention others from Lange.
My latest interest has been in Vacheron's Patrimony series. Particularly the latest small seconds model. Just elegant and simple and definitely not sporty in the least and I certainly wouldn't wear it with anything but a suit. Not the best pic though. It is stunning in person...
As an example of a "crossover" watch, here is a Droz I had for a short time. Cool for sure but I never wore it so off it went. At 43MM it is a little big for a pure dress watch to me, which brings up the issue of size. How big is too big for this category? Also, I think this is a good crossover example being that the design is very cutting edge, but I guess I feel something more traditional might dress up better. Thoughts?
I think that the Cartier Roadster is one of the best looking watches to wear with a suit.
I am not a big Cartier fan but whne it comes to a suit the Roadster or Santos
are excellent choices.
Just my opinion of course.....

checked out www.replica-watch-guide.net
Its pretty cool. Of course RWG II is my main home...

yeah but to use the internal bezel ring you have to unscrew the crown
which would nullify the watertight integrity.
Right?

Man its Beautiful! I think the Tudor Chrono thickcase like this one is one of the best bargains out there if you have a need for a Daytona.
and of course my favorite, the snowflake, are two of the best bargains on the market today.
nice work!

It was not necessary to post this thread twice - multiple postings of this kind can lead to suspicion that you are, in fact, associated with the owner of the web site and are trying to drum up business. See my reply to your other post.
Sorry about the duplicate. I am going to amend it now without
the link.
Thanks I will stay away.

I wouldn't trust any dealer who posts photos of gens purporting to be the watches he or she sells. Looks very fishy. My recommendation is to avoid like the plague.
Stick to the dealers recommended on the various rep watch boards. It's all too easy to lose your dough or be fobbed off with street junk at high prices. Ask anyone who's been in this hobby for a while - most of us have made that mistake at least once.
In all seriousness, the best policy is always to assume that it's a scam unless you find strong evidence to the contrary (i.e. info from others who have successfully bought from them)
Thanks for the tip, I will stick with Angus.
Sorry for the duplicate post. I will try to delete the others now.
I am in Miami so no affiliation with any chinese webstores.

Hello all, I am new, I came across this website and have been corresponding with him
via regular email. He accepts Paypal, which is a plus.
But what gets me worried is his prices for Gen ETA 2836 Rolex GMTII
and Explorer II are only $250 with free shipping form Ghangzouh.
The cheapest GEN ETA powered GMT/EXP2 I have found form our trusted
sellers is around $300 plus 30 for shipping.
Is this guy false advertising or is he just beating the competition?

Rolex Explorer with Orange GMT Hand.

man I really dig this Rolex Turnograph
BUT, I am not sure about the red date font.
Are there Turnographs avail without the red date?
The red would be OK if it was not so LOUD, I mean it looks almost Orange.
I am hoping that is an illusion and the red fint is not that pronounced.
Anybody have one of These.?

Nice pics, looks like you becoming
quite the coffee aficionado!
I live in Miami So Cuban
Coffee is all I drink.
Its basically super-espresso.
you only need about 1/4 ounce
and your set. I have a tolerance though
I do a double (1/2 ounce) first thing
in the morning. Then when I get to work
I have a regular coffee with a cuban
shot thrown in for good measure.
Like now, I am zingin.........
Love my Coffee.....Cafe Pilon
Sorry no pics as I am not big on cream.
Just condensed coffee and lots of sugar......
