Dutchy Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Alright, so I can get a watch from the cash my parents will be giving me for my b-day. Hoooooowever, I cannot decide!!!! I just got my PO Ultimate 45mm......freaking amazing....true craftmanship, stunning, enough said. Now, I may want a Breitling or Steelfish or Evo, or maybe a Hublot SS Big bang or an IWC Ingenieur! I just really cannot decide.....I also just got RobbieG's 'perfect' Yachtmaster which is freaking amazing too and an AP Royal Oak (the smaller one) which is great when wearing a suit or dress shirts (but the PO is good too! hehe) Anyway, what do you guys think? Just throw it out there! Mind you, I do prefer known brands (Rolex, Omega, Breitling, IWC, Hublot) for now.... Thanks guys P.S. Here are some ideas I got from Andy's site: Evolution - Steel white dial Steelfish - Steel blue dial Hublot - SS IWC Ingenieur P.S. Before you ask, yes, I will re-upgrade my membership to VIP before I even purchase the watch, gotta keep this place moving...bank transfer to paypal account takes loooong!!

By-Tor Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Happy b-day mate. How much is it? 17? Seriously... get the Steelfish. Awesome watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Given the choices listed, I'd go with either the Ingenieur or the Steelfish.... I can't quite warm up to the Steelfish myself, but it's the hot new watch so you probably can't go wrong (except perhaps with the price).

coolfire Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Happy Birthday dude!! Get the Steelfish... :thumbsupsmileyanim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Big Bang gets my vote too... Stainless Steel will do; ceramic is nice but paying an extra 200 USD for a different bezel is hard to justify. Happy Birthday my friend Dutchy!

pubus Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 from your list get a Hublots BB, thats freaking awesome watch But I advice You to get a look at IWC Spitfire Chrono, its even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Happy Birthday Flo, if the choice was mine it would be the HBB however those new Ferrari Pams are sure some sexy watch maybe it's worth your time to take a look at them too.

Stephane Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Happy Birthday. Two very accurate seems to be SteelFish & Fer0002. So, Steelfish, white dial, brown leather! Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I would go for the HBB Floris... and happy bday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I wouldn't get any of those watches. Seeing as you like the Planet Ocean, I'd say stick with Omega and get the SMP 2531.80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Happy BDay F!! Steelfish gets my vote, beautiful, heavy, and solid... I like the grey dial though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Holy crap!! Thanks for all the replies/opinions/suggestions and the kind wishes! Not quite my birthday yet but I will be turning 19 (Yes By-Tor, 19, not 17, you joker ) on wednesday Thanks to all of you, its funny how the day gets more special when you get all these kind wishes and a new watch!!!!! Ok, so its a bit of a mixed bag, some like the Breitlings, some the Omegas, some the Big Bang, some the IWC's...... Man this journey is awesome, I'll think about which watch more than wearing it I really like the combinations you guys threw out, the leather bands and different dial colors. I think the Evo (as many said on the site) is most accurate in white and I dont have any white dialed reps at the moment. Also, I dont remember who said it, but someone switched out their gen leather band on their gen steelfish for the rep steelfish bracelet and said it felt amazing, I just hate changing the bracelet back into the case holes and prefer switching between leather bands for that reason, so easy to change bands but the steel ones, hard!...If I took leather, you think I'll still like it and not want steel instead?? Oh and in terms of the HBB, I cannot find it in me to spend 200 more on the ceramic bezel HBB just yet (dont even have a job and I need to save up for uni drunken nights ) and I heard the bracelet cuts into your skin a bit, this still the case? Dont really have the tools (or mind) to muck with buckles Thanks again guys, have a good one Edited April 1, 2007 by Dutchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Ok guys, think I'm going to go with the Big Bang SS first....do I need that loctite stuff (cant get it in Venezuela....) because I heard people have had the screws fall out.... By the way, what do you guys think of the current "watches-to-get" list Panerai 111h Asian - TC tanned muppet strap or similar Rolex GMT Master II - Black/red Rolex 16610 Sub IWC Ingenieur - steel steel (maybe nylon strap...) VC Overseas - white dial Breitling Evolution - white steel band Breitling Steelfish - grey steel band Hublot Big Bang - Steel Chopard XL Turismo - white dial Breitling Navitimer - 3,6,9 black dial stick markers Omega Seamaster Pro - blue james bond Omega Seamaster Pro - black bezel/dial Edited April 1, 2007 by Dutchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_uk Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's your b'day get a gen! HBB is awesome, but wayyyy over priced, current fav in the bargain stakes is the PAM Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice watch but dont like the ferrari sign on it......the breitling bentley is pushing it for me Anyway.....Steelfish then for now? That Big Bang is just brilliant in my opinion......I dont think the price will ever go down...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Going for Big Bang is really good choice IMHO. SS version will be enough (no need fancy ceramic stuff, it looks great on SS). The quality of Steelfish doesn't really match HBB. Just my 2cents buddy. The decision is still yours to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 @Dutchmeister If I were you, I'd get one of these... Total Chick Magnet... And you'd be the talk of the town... TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
