Smab Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Happy Saturday to all fellow members I hope there is someone out there, that can recognise this watch, hopefully. I spotted it last night, at Norwegian talkshow "Senkveld". The four artists from "The Voice" were interviewed on the show, and all in all it was a nice collection of nice watches. The two hosts, sports each an Omega SMPO (45,5mm), while Magne Furuholmen (former Aha-member) sports a Rolex Milgauss (the new model, with multicolored lume and green sapphire), while Yousef from MadCon, as earlier, also sports the AP Royal Oak Offshore Rosegold, I am not sure, but think it may be a Juan Pablo Montoya Limited Edition. And then is the Question, what watch does Sondre Lerche wear (norwegian songer/singwriter, also quite well known in New York and US)? The show was on HD and I froze the picture trying to get the best angle for taking a few snap shots. It is not very easy to see, other than that it is a steel (or platinum, or white gold) circular case, seems like only a crown and no pushers, and then there is the tourby and multicolored disc like subdials (or is it an open heart balance wheel=?) Black leather strap, quite thick, looks like it is the real deal. Anyone who can recall seeing something that looks similar to this model?

Tom Hawkes Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Looks like the watches they sell on the homeshopping channels for 99 Euros (discounted from the former price of 5000 Euros...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drury Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 i think it looks rather cheap ... shiny subdials and that weird faux tourby thing which usually just screams rep. I could be wrong though, maybe this is the watch that all of the others are modelled after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smab Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The guy wearing this watch, is good for many millions. He has been recording and selling albums like newbaked bread, since his late teens (over a decade), also quite successful in the US the latest years. So no doubt he could afford a five or six figured pricetag, I hardly doubt he sports a cheap rep on one of the most popular tv-shows in Norway (seen by a million viewers, 1/5 of the hole population of 5 millions in Norway). But, on the other hand, if it really was a rep, this would be quite interesting. He has been living a few years in NY, so maybe he picket it up at Channel St?

asciwhite Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 You could be a multimillionaire and still be so cheap as to buy a low end watch you know He might have been in a jewelers and had a look in the cheap isle and said ohhhhh shiny, and only $50 Ill have that... Being filthy rich does not mean good taste by any means... And it certainly does not mean you know watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Abramovich usually wears a 50 USD Polar watch. Yes, even with a suit. Multiple US football players have been spotted with Panerai reps with tourbis. How much money someone made, has nothing to do with style or taste or how much someone is going to spend for a wristwatch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sondre need our help....his taste in watches is not sufficient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Proof that it is easier to buy a crap watch is you are loaded than buying a quality one when you are poor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smab Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sondre need our help....his taste in watches is not sufficient Hello Gran Do you really think that Sondre is actually wearing a cheap rep, seems kind of strange, when he is in such company with Yousef (AP ROO), Magne (Milgauss) and Thomas and Harald (SMPO), but they have maybe not any clue about watches either? There is several real tourby watches with such "attachment", I am thinking of the small horisontal bar on top of the tourby balance wheel, i.e. Breguet: http://www.google.no/imgres?imgurl=http://timkastelle.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/breguettourbillon.jpg&imgrefurl=http://timkastelle.org/blog/2011/12/avoid-fatal-business-models/&h=413&w=390&sz=66&tbnid=a9FTdjxB8Iv1bM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=85&prev=/search%3Fq%3DBreguet%2BTourbillon%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=Breguet+Tourbillon&docid=oEx-aMfMXxpH8M&hl=nn&sa=X&ei=Mg-VT7b-KKrP4QT__cTQDw&ved=0CEAQ9QEwBQ&dur=2749 Do you have an example of a rep "faux tourby", that looks like something Sondre is wearing? I am just so damn curious to try and solve the "mystery" about this particular watch he is wearing. I can hardly stop thinking about it, almost like a "crime mystery" you are trying to understand in a book and just want to go to the last page, because you do not have the patience to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Oh wow, you sure have a hard-on for this guy... All fantasy replicas, all with the same subdial-layout. Either it's a rep, or a 1000 dollar watch with a fantasy company name and a 10 dollar movement. I doubt that any respectable company would release something that looks like that.

rrari1 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) May not be a tourby, lots of inexpensive watches have an open heart design, where they just show the balance wheel. I own an Alpha like that, and people mistake it for a tourbillion all the time. I was wearing it in Alpha Omega in Boston (A Breguet AD), and the sales man was gushing over it. I just told him it was a Chinese one to calm him down. here is an example. http://www.alpha-watch.com/details.php?myid=469 Edited April 23, 2012 by rrari1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
