wadan Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 Very tough to choose; Daily Beater - Ultimate PO Dress Watch - Navitimer on leather Smart Casual - BCE White on Brown strap Sporty - SMP Chrono very nice choices ,,,,, specially the navitimer as a dress watch “ at lease it is much more reliable than an IWC Port Chrono “
fotoman Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 there is a consensus that there is no such thing as a perfect collection see my thread on teh subject
By-Tor Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Daily Beater - Ultimate PO Dress Watch - Seamaster "Bond" Smart Casual - TAG Link Chronograph Sporty - "Pepsi" GMT Master
TeeJay Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 This is an idealized list, not pieces in my collection, and I couldn't totally narrow it down to four, so I gave options. Daily Beater - Omega Planet Ocean 42mm or Vintage Rolex/Tudor Submariner Dress Watch - Omega Seamaster 2531.80 or Patek Philipe Classic Series Gondolo Smart Casual - Panerai Luminor Base or Patek Philippe Gondola Sporty - Rolex Submariner or Omega Speedmaster Professional X-33 (my idea of sport involves swimming)
Corgi Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 Well since we are talking about the perfect collection... Daily Beater: Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer Dress watch: Full gold Rolex president with champagne dials Smart Casual: Wtf is this? Let's say... Turn-O-graph in two-tone with jubilee bracelet... Sporty: Panerai... pick one, they all the same. Vintage: 1885 Patek Philippe Wristwatch (See my post regarding mine if youre curious)

wadan Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Posted February 21, 2007 well it seems that the ultimate PO is wining the daily beater category lets see about the other categories specially the dress watch cheers
TeeJay Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 well it seems that the ultimate PO is wining the daily beater category lets see about the other categories specially the dress watch cheers My feelings about a dress watch, is that most important, it must look Sharp. It's not going to be used for anything other than looking nice, as dress watches are seldom worn long enough to even really be used as time-keepers, so it doesn't need any 'functions' like chronos or moon-phase, it literally only needs a dial and hands. Here is my current top four Daily Beater - Omega Planet Ocean 42mm Dress Watch - Rolex Submariner Smart Casual - Rolex Daytona on Leather Sporty - Rolex Submariner or Omega Speedmaster Professional X-33 (my idea of sport involves swimming) Vintage - Omega 2531.80 Work In Progress

dak244 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Hi mates Lets list a perfect collection of 4 reps one for each category of wear This can be very helpful for any start up collector , Here is my suggested list : A) the daily beater : Omega Planet ocean Ultimate the dress watch : IWC Port Chrono C) the smart casual : Pam 183 Black seal D) the vintage : a gen omega or an IWC what is your suggested list ? cheers Have to agree.. just let me make a few changes... A) Still PO!! IWC FA Jones C) Pam 183 for sure!! D) MBW Sub..
tag Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Sorry there are quite a few gens in this list: Daily Beater : Black PO Dress Watch : Aqua Terra / Conquistador / Grand Seiko GMT / Cartier Rotonde (can't find it anymore though) Smart Casual : Tag Heuer Link / Aquaracer / Submariner / Roadster / Tambour Diving / any PAM Sporty : AP ROO / Orange PO / GP SeaHawk / MarineMaster (300 or 600) Vintage : Blancpain Fifty Fathoms I would like to add 1 category: Travel watch. And my choice would go to GP ww.tc (sorry a gen again... I could find no good rep of world time watches! or can anybody give me a feedback on the Vulcain Cricket GMT?) And another one : Special / Fantasy watch ? GG Fantasy Mickey... (not much choice of reps in this category)
archibald Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 If I had to give up all but 4 of my reps, I'd keep: Dress: 18k Muller Casablanca Dress Casual: VC Overseas (The Overseas is sort of cheating since it fits the bill for dress, dress caz, and sport) Sport: PAM 051 Beater: I'd probably get rid of my dinged and dented PAM 047 and buy a Super Ocean or Steelfish. Vintage: MBW White SD
Estaban Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 My watches must be able to wear multiple hats: Panerai 112 IWC Ingenieur Breitling Steelfish Cartier Santos 100 If I include a chrono, it would have to be a Panerai 188 or Omega SMP Chrono
