What's the one Rep you think is cool, but would prob never get?

[hackR]

this thread is not meant to highlight odd/ugly watches - but ones you actually find "intriguing/interesting", but would probably never buy for whatever reason...pls keep that mindset when posting...

***********************************

for me, it's the Graham Overlord Mark III Limited Edition - green dial...

there's just something about this watch i find "intriguing"...too pricey to get it just for fun...

enjoy - R

[ubiquitous]

For me- Definitely an Alain Silberstein Bauhaus:

I've always found this watch to be fun and interesting, but have never ventured further than just looking.

I love PAM watches but how many of us have a 8.5-9in wrists to wear the 60mm PAM?

This is a very cool watch but as others said this will make a GREAT desk clock.

[kronos twin]

probably a chaumet class one. It looks like it'd be worth a try, but not enough to care. And then there's the watch I always put off, which is the Roger Dubuis Chronoexel, which looks great, but always takes a back seat. I may regret not getting that one.

[By-Tor]

There are so many interesting watches that I would never buy/wear.

Ulysse Nardin is that kind of brand. Very interesting and impressive watches but just too different for my conservative tastes.

[mastrmindalliance]

Cool topic. I thought seriously about the Concord C1 for a while. But decided while I think it looks really cool, I'd probably never wear it.

[Demsey]

Full gold 116520.

@ hackR,

I like the Overlord too. To me it looks like you're wearing D-Day on your wrist.

Unfortunately, the only member that can pull this off out of the house is 'robertk'.

Lani could pull it off! I believe he owns a few Grahams!

I'm like MMA...Love the look of the Concord C1 and been tempted to buy it a few times, but always back off at the lat minute!

I have tried the GEN at the Vegas Torneau........and I didn't really get the "feel"!

Good Topic R-

[redwatch]

+1 on the C1. It's a cool looking watch, but just can't pull it off.

@Hike - your new animated avatar & sig are ridiculous!

[Marky1012]

Brilliant.

I posted a few days ago about 3 watches I really want:

Skyland Avenger

Concord C1

Chaumet Class 1

Now you lot have peed on my bonfire well and truly with this post. 2 of my faves are on the list! I was also considering the Graham Overlord.

Don't think I'll be posting a WTB anytime soon!

[fakemaster]

Anything with Pan or eye on it?

[TeeJay]

For me, it would be the Tag Aquaracer.

I love how it looks in photos, but when I tried one on, I didn't like it at all

[slask111]

I adore it, but could never use it in public...

Maybe ill get it just to wear at home, it might just be worth it ;0

Swap out the dial for a Tudor dial, and you get total anonymity in public

[Demsey]

but when I tried one on, [sic] for two months, I didn't like it at all. Thank heaven I only paid $238 instead of $2,380!

Ahhhhh, behold the power of replica..............

[slask111]

Is that possible? Didnt even think of that. Its a great idea, i need to look into this. thnx!

Cost wasn't even an issue with this one, I simply didn't like how high the thickness of the caseback set the front of the watch from the wrist when I tried it on. The link positioning, I would liken to wearing a Sub with the bracelet 'inside out'... Awesome in the photos, just not for me when I tried it on

It's very possible, as long as you can track down a dial Might be worth going with a no-date variant to avoid alignment issues with the datewheel, but I'd definitely recommend it as a project As long as you're happy de-casing a movement, and removing and replacing the hands, it's probably a 15 minute (if that) procedure The result, a watch which looks every bit as nice as a Submariner (and is still branded as a Submariner), but, as it lacks the R-Word on the dial, it flys completely under the radar

I know what you mean, my Planet Ocean Chrono is the same way. And I certainly could have offered that model up to this thread, but I do wear it. When I know I won't be between scores of people. I am sheepish of the size of it. Unlike the Aquaracer bracelet (as you describe it here) those Omega gen/rep bracelets? Nize.

[arty909]

Would love to own this- the gen is one of my grail watches:

...but 1) I don't think the gold color has been repped properly yet; and 2) I don't have the proper wardrobe to make it a believable accessory for me. Cheers! Arty

I haven't tried the chrono variant of the Planet Oceans, but I'd definitely say that the Aquaracer sits further from the wrist than a regular Planet Ocean. For me, that was just a watch which I simply wouldn't wear at all, so I just appreciate the photos

[pizzanooo]

Like the looks and reviews, but not in my box....

[Mercury]

Rolex Daytona, mostly due to the movement.

That is great news for me. Lately life has come in the way for this hobby off mine but now i feel the urge, you know the neeeed to get that Tudor project going. Thnx alot for the inspiration TeeJay

P.s Dont know if it will "fly under the radar" but that Tudor dial will get most ppl to shut up.

[mbjoer]

The Egi.

The size is laughable, but if it was shrunk significantly it would look good.

[panerai153]

I have looked at the Franck Muller "Crazy Hours" time and time agan, but it just never resonated enough to buy one. One reason is I have had several genuine and rep watches in Tonneau Cases, and the rectangular look just isn't for me. I admit, after seeing the Lume job that The Zigmeister did on that Crazy Hours. I'm tempted, but more interesting projects lie ahead.
