Just wanted to stop and say hi.  I'm slowly updating my profile information.  

 

A little background info:

 

I'm graduating shortly with my BS in Kinesiology. I am going to be getting my Doctorate of Physical Therapy afterwards, but my parents want to get me a nice watch as a graduation present.  I am very partial to Germany (the history, guns, country, everything…) and was looking for a nice German made watch.  I know it may be hard, but the budget is somewhere around $1200 US.  At this point, I'm purely open to brands, and I'll take the time to browse through collections.  In the time I've spent researching, I've found that there are a lot of "German made" watches that have swiss movements (Steinhart).  I actually really like the Steinhart watches but noticed they are all "Swiss Made" with swiss movements.  

 

Also, I've never had a hand wound watch.  Are there any advantages/disadvantages to automatic watches over the hand wound watches? Any input welcome...

 

Figured I'd ask the pros here to see if I could get any help!

 

Thanks!

It would be good to know what kind of watch you are looking for...Diver, Dresswatch, Aviator...Chrono, GMT, Complication...handwound, automatic, quarz...

There are a lot of German watches that'll fit your budgets.

But which one will fit your needs?

I've really taken a liking to the German Pilot watches.  I like a chunky watch like the Vollmer, with leather straps.  The search continues! 

 

my vote is for sinn; i picked up my sinn u2 (which is a nice chunky watch) for under $1,500 (it was still under warranty as well).

 

as for more of a pilot's watch, here is an option from sinn that isn't too far from your price range:

 good luck with the search; report back on what you end up getting :victory:
