ChipSlap Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 After about 8 months of unemployment, I recently started working again. It turns out that I did get the job that I flew to LA to interview for. I now manage a lab in Oakland while my boss stays in LA. My Seiko SKX009 with the jubilee bracelet always has been good luck for me. Anyway, I am going to reward myself with a new watch. The finalists are these: 1: Tag Heuer Link Chrono (blue). 2: Breitling Skyland Avenger Chrono (grey or blue). 3: Ebel 1911 Chrono with the panda face. 4: Rollie Explorer II Facts which may figure in my thinking: I have several black faced watches already. I do not wear suits, nor even long-sleeved shirts. I almost always wear gen Seiko divers to work (due to the chemicals I work with). I recently bought one of Homer's bitchin tan python Breit straps, but don't yet have a Breit. The trigger will be pulled by Friday, the 13th. Thanks for your opinions.

Mercury Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well I have a Tag Heuer Link Blue and it is an incredible rep. If you have read any of the reviews on this watch then you know how good it is. It really depends on what you want, a chrono or no. The Rollie is a great watch but the only one on your list that's not a 7750. If you do end up wanting a Link let me know via PM, I have one for sale. Good luck.

TeeJay Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I'd vote for the Ebel, it's an absolutely gorgeous watch, and the case just feels like a smooth palm-stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Tag needs an eta dw swap and with a chief AR is stunning Breitling would be grey definitely.. you can wear multiple strap colours on this one. Ebel..my choice would be the white dial.. Exp. II black dial is most accurate.. although the white is more to my liking the indices are silver grey and not black like the gen. but may I add another to the mix: Vascheron Constantin Over Seas .. the design is siccccccc the bracelet.. and bezel is da bomb !!.. good for semi casual and dressy with the white dial.. let me take some pics of my Tag Link blue dial with chiefs AR .. the dial POPS with chiefs AR AC Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky1012 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Skyland - gotta put the strap to use. And if you don't like it you can sell it to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I would vote for the Ebel but if you already have the Breit strap you will need a Breit at some point. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
