If your pics are speaking, they have gravel in their mouths.

It's the POS version.

Please, for the love of god in heaven above! I'll also take a BP fifty fathoms and the AP chrono mentioned earlier in this thread. Thank you.

YES, PLEASE!

1:1 Deep Sea Sea Dweller (Ultimate?) Update

Is it just me or is this all starting to seem like this just isn't worth it? -
I bought them one at a time and had them squirreled throughout the house. Honestly, this is only time I had them all in the same place at the same time. Most of them were purchased out of curiosity more than anything.

Douchebags like you.

German silver is a tarnish resistant alloy of nickel, copper and zinc that resembles silver it's also known as nickel silver.

Keep in mind that some people buy a watch for reasons other than to impress other people. The two things I find remarkable about a gold watch are that it's significantly heavier than a similar SS model and that the metal feels softer (more comfortable).

Here's the back of the langematik... notice how they still hand carve the bridge (a glashutte tradition) but not nearly as intricately as on the GO... also note that the rotor is 18k with a platinum weight... the entire movment is made from German Silver (don't ask me what that means but I think it's some fancy form of nickel) so the watch is deceptively heavy... such a work of art...
-
Congratulations! Just wait though... it gets better and better and better.

I've always thought of it as being patekesque since the first micro-rotor I saw was on a patek. I've always been a fan since you get an automatic watch where you can actually see the movement. I traded my GO Panomaticlunar for the Langematik btw and it too had a microrotor. I like micro-rotor watches for the added benefit of knowing they're not reps... not yet anyway. Once they start repping quality micro-rotors, I'll be a buyer.

Seriously... where ARE all the omegas? I've owned 2 gens and they're both gone now. Great watches but I guess they don't do anything for me. I have 3 omegas and all are gens and all are vintage. Weird. I saw a RG planet ocean a year or so ago and really liked it but wouldn't want to spend so much on such a pedestrian movement. I guess their overuse of ETA movements got to me. I like the PO but 45mm seems too big for that watch. Of course, wtf do i know anyway.

LOL... sorry... that one is definitely on the list. I also have the bracelet for it. I usually wear it on a rubber strap. It's truly an unbelievable watch. It's super good looking, very legible- even at night because of the tritium on the hands and hours. It's waterproof to 200 meters (has a screw down crown, of course). It has a titanium back to be hypoallergenic. A sapphire crystal so it doesn't get scratched. I swear, it's as versatile as a Rolex but you won't see one on everyone's wrist. Good ol' UN comes up with a superior design and then discontinues it... brilliance in a bottle. Speaking of which, look at the Chopard LUC. They only made 1860 of those in WG and another 1860 in YG. I think it retailed for $8k and I bought it new for $5k. Another watch that's a huge value yet inappropriately rare.

Believe it or not, I wear a good percentage of the watches I own. I sell gens but not reps due to the legal risks of doing so. What I'd consider the "core" watches- the watches I wear regularly are as follows: Gens: Sea Dweller X33 Langematik Chopard LUC (WG) IWC Doppelchronograph (I also have the bracelet for it which is awesome but I prefer to wear it on the Hirsch strap in the pic) Seiko Kinetic IWI Pilot Reps: Ti PAM 111H IWC 3717 PAM Arktos Black dial 6263 (needs a new dial since the existing one flaked off somehow) Breguet Tourbillon (non-skeleton) Breitling Ti Avenger Chrono Breitling Chrono Evo (White dial) Patek Nautillus PVD PAM (not sure of the model) Patek chrono (SS... not pictured... 38mm)... I bought the gold one which is pictured but it's 40mm and way too big for what I wanted so I rarely wear it. What's funny is that it's much better quality than the SS version I have... typical Rep frustration Rolex GMTIIC Rolex datejust SS with havana dial and arabics (I first saw this watch at the atlantis hotel in WG and LOVED it... $18k discounted... had to pass... the SS rep is such high quality I can't believe it- it's perhaps my most convincing and satisfying reps) Rolex daytona (White dial) The rest I wear when I see one on tv, in print or in a movie... my wife calls it playing dress up... she's right... it's harmless fun- at least I don't abuse drugs or chase other women...

It's a gen... I've had it for almost a decade... it's a great watch for an only watch... very versatile...
-
Your wish is my command. The problem was that they were loaded onto a server which would time out for viewing the pics. I'd upload them, review my post and then by the time anyone saw it, they'd be gone again. I just moved them to a server that's more friendly.

10 per case max... not all cases are full... i'm working on getting the pics to show up...
-
My collection... some are gen, some are rep... you decide which is which... I can't even tell anymore... I wish it were complete but watches keep turning up around the house... it's <i>possible</i> that I have more than I need... no judgments please. I meant to post pics like this a long time ago back when TTK said he thought my "knowledge of reps isn't vast". At the time, I wanted to buy a few watches from him at once. Because of his comment, I never bothered. My loss I guess. Of course, now we all know what an ass he is but that's another story. I fitted the cases myself. I bought the aluminum cases on ebay for $10 each- they were originally built for telescope parts or something. I know they're not beautiful but they keep my watches from banging into each other. hopefully the pictures worked this time.

Looks like he's not the only one making assumptions.

Definitely one of the good guys.

I remember when I thought I had pretty much 1 of everything... was I ever that naive?

Roger Moore was the worst Bond ever. I still can't believe they wasted so much of my time with him as Bond. He was the Bond du jour during my prime time for watching Bond films and I couldn't WAIT for him to be replaced.
