cory Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Hello dearest members, I'm on the lookout for my next purchase and my mind is exploding as I cannot settle on anything. To describe myself, I am in my 20s, studying and working. I dress in a contemporary informal style every day, usually knitwear with ties, and I appreciate things of quality. I was blessed to have recently received a gen Breguet 7787 from my old man, and this is a watch I absolutely adore. Due to its high value, however, I am too paranoid to wear it every day everywhere and so I'm looking for something that could substitute it in every day life. So I'm looking for a subtle but elegant dress watch. I don't like to show off but I consider myself to have good taste in life and naturally the perfect watch for me would reflect that. I'm a very big fan of Breguet, JLC, Arnold & Son, A Lange & Sohne, and the Jules Audemars series and AP RO, and own a 15400 rep but it's not satisfying my appetite quite enough. Can anyone recommend something viable? I would prefer SS as in my experience gold attracts too much attention. I've been thoroughly researching the rep options of Breguet (sacrilege from a gen-owner, of course), JLC and some of the other brands for something viable but it seems none of these have been well replicated. Your input is greatly appreciated! And accompanying this plea for your efforts is a cheeky shot of my beloved!

cory Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm much tempted to buy the new 5227 Calatrava, only issue is that its a Patek and something I was hoping of buying later in life to mark a significant achievement of sorts.

iceberg1459 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I see what you're saying but as an owner of a £20k gen I don't particularly feel I'll be stepping out of line. if you say it fits your lifestyle id say wear daddys watch and stop moaning. if you are afraid damaging it or worse then it means you cant afford it just buy a cheaper gen cuz except PP only sports reps are good enough. you can always safe it and boast the breguet on timezone without needing to hide serial no to refresh your ego until your deserving achivement happens. been there done that this should save you some headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpletiv Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm liking the date orientation on that Chanel. Anyone know where to source a DW like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I would suggest that you take a look at some of the other genuine brands like Maurice Lacroix. The make some very nice watches, and they are pretty reasonable, especially if you find a nice gently used one. Here is my Calendre Retrograde in Stainless steel. This IPhone photo doesn't do it justice as it has a beautiful dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Get a fantasy watch, they are the most fun! IMHO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
