Ok guys, choose my b-day watch!

Recommended Posts

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!!

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.

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 :lol:) 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 :D

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 :lol:) 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 :D

Thanks again guys, have a good one :)

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.

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......

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.
