You're welcome. The gens are quartz and so are the reps, £100 compared to gens starting at £3k. My wife doesn't care if it's battery or movement or powered by fairy dust as long as it looks 'pretty'!

My wife quite likes the Chanel Premiere range, (either with or without faux diamonds). It's quite dainty with a nice bezelled crystal but it depends on what she likes.

Transoceans are a very smart watch, nice choice. I absolutely love the vintage radiomirs but 47mm just gonna be too big on my wrist so im waiting till the 42mm 1940's Pams (mainly 512 or 514) are repped. Most beautiful case i've seen on a watch. But in the mean time I'll be drooling :drool:at a dozen watches and then ordering something to satisfy my urges! I'll let you know what i've gone with!

I know what you mean about impulse, and getting it on your wrist. I was originally going to buy PAM005 as my first purchase, loved the look of it thought wow this is different but I had never seen one in the flesh. My VERY kind friend let me test drive, so to speak, his Gen 000 for the day (we've worked together nearly 13 years) and as soon as I had it on my wrist I knew Luminors weren't for me! I suppose it's all about what works for you.

That puts a cat amongst the pigeons! So many Rolex to choose from though! I quite like the Explorer 1 (on leather mind) but then that's not massively dissimilar in style to the IWC's I'm thinking about. How do you decide? Do you draw up a wish lost or just go on impulse? Matt

Afternoon guys I've been hanging around on here for a good several months now and in that time i've purchased a couple of reps from Trusty, which overall im very happy with. I currently have a PAM 183 and an IWC Portuguese Chrono. So now I'm ready to pull the trigger on another but i just cant decide! Really i'd love a PAM 512 but as far as I can gather this probably won't be repped until early 2014, so, in the mean time I'm torn between an IWC Mark VI or VII and the Breitling Super Ocean Abyss (yes I know they are both quite different styles!) I currently use the 183 as a casual watch and the IWC as a work watch so really would like one for a bit of both so any opinions or other suggestions to confuse me even more would be much appreciated.
