van_damme1988 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi. I need a little help in choosing some nice dress watches. I narrowed my search to following candidates. So here they are: 1) Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver Titanium - black dial, rose gold plating (with black rubber or better with two tone bracelet). - found nice replica here: http://puretimewatch...diver-tt-black/ (gen) (rep) 2) Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars - black dial, rose gold - can be seen here: http://puretimewatch...-rg-black-dial/ (rep) 3) Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Tourbillon Moonphase - black dial, rose gold - http://puretimewatch...-rg-black-dial/ (rep) 4) Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon - black dial, rose gold - http://puretimewatch...illon-handwind/ (rep) 5) Vacheron Constantin Malte Regulator - black dial, rose gold - http://puretimewatch...-leather-strap/ (rep) 6) Breguet Jubilee Calender Tourbillon - http://puretimewatch...old-white-dial/ (rep) 7) Something close to these beauties Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Date Tourbillon 39 (gen) http://www.jaeger-le...e-tourbillon-39 IWC Portuguese Chronographe Automatic (3714-82) - black or grey dial, rose gold - http://www.replicama...K-28800BPH.html (gen) (rep) I know that range is from 200 to almost 800, but i need advice. Which out of these would you prefer taking into consideration built quality, accuracy, feeling, previous or current experience, price/value. According to price/build quality, i would go with Ulysse Nardin or IWC Portuguese. But Audemars are nice as well. Many thanks for all the comments.

the_rymeister Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I'm not gonna be much help mate but the Ulysse nardin maxi diver with rubber strap looks fantastic! May have to put this on my never ending want list! Edited October 23, 2011 by The_Rymeister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miagi Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 FYI the portuguese has a 7750movement that is modified to have the seconds at 6 (instead of at 9) this modification has been prone to kill the movement pretty quickly. of the above watches id go for the ulysse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 As you said "dress watch", I'll give my vote to Number Four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 No.3 VC Patrimony. Has both modern and classic design elements. Interesting to see the Ulysse sub watch in amongst all these rose gold plain bezel tourbillion watches. Good luck with the choosing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoever Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 +1 for the IWC.... but can i ask you something? Is your nickname to stand for the day you discovered J-C van Damme in 1988 and your life changed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosamannen Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I'd say No. 3. Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Tourbillon Moonphase - black dial, rose gold But that's entirely based on the way it looks. Brilliant!

GreenHornet Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'd say forget the tourbillions. Just too over the top for me, and the Gen versions are ultra expensive, many well over $100K. My choice as far as appearance is 8, the IWC. Just have to ensure you get the movement serviced due to the known issues with the sec@6. Sent from GreenHornet's iPad 2 using TapaTalk.....

van_damme1988 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks for all the answers so far You really helped me a lot making my decission. My first purchase will be Ulysse Nardin. I had placed an order, but guys on puretime did not have them in stock, so they refunded me the whole payment. I will try to get them from the other reseller as they look great. IWC Portu is going to be my next purchase for sure. My only concern were those issues with sec@6. Is there any difference in reliability between 25J and 29J version or both have to be properly serviced? Tourbillons are nice to watch at for the first 30 seconds, but after that, it starts to be boring So I agree, that the price is high and rep tourbillon watches are not that accurate as non tourbi watches. Moreover for the price of any tourbillons I can buy UN and IWC together. So UN won in this selection. Now i gotta find someone who has them in stock... maybe replicamake88 or perfect clones. (to my nickname, 1988 was the last year Van Damme made a good B+ movie X) ) Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
