Victoria Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 After perusing wrist-checks, and reading posts, I have come to the conclusion that I love certain posters TASTE in watches, etc. At times, it could be because of a watch I think looks classy, or a strap I covet, or a certain aura they project in general. But definitely I'd love to compliment them, overall, just never had the right occasion to. Until now.

hambone Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I find the hambone collection to be tasteful, yet not over stated, redundant in it's splendor even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hmmm, Madame V. Hard choice as I see many members with tastes close enough to mine. At the end of the day, don't we compare to our own tastes ? Yes of course. I think Pug is the one having the closest taste to mine. We often have the same new watches. But, I agree, Monsieur Euno is on my list too. Aswell as Pix, By-Tor, Ubi, TTK, Delta,...so many more. In fact, I "admire" collectors that can still see something great in a Rolex but also in the classics (AP RO/Patek Nautillus), some nice Omegas,...have fun with a BlackMonster... Very difficult topic here Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hmmm, Madame V. Not even you, Stephane! Mademoiselle, as yet, please! Hard choice as I see many members with tastes close enough to mine. At the end of the day, don't we compare to our own tastes ? Yes of course. I think Pug is the one having the closest taste to mine.Ahh, but in my case I could've chosen people whose watch collections resembled my taste. I choose Eunomians because I could never wear only black, as he favours, although my wardrobe is primarily a sleek black-white. But his IWCs, on me? Never. That doesn't prevent me from admiring his taste, and general demeanour which SHOWS even through this blasted internet medium thingie. Stephane For the record, your collection and posting attitude is my next favourite, followed by By-Tor. In each case, you chaps wear watches that I could never see myself wearing (unlike Pix' watches, some of which I have, like his Vacheron Constantin!). The true mark of admiration is separating yourself from the object of your esteem. If you still like what the person represents, even if you couldn't/wouldn't want to copy it, that's true admiration. IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 A very hard topic indeed, there's no doubting Ubi's twins are incomparable or the quality of Enuo's of Nanuq's collection, then there's the sheer volume of Tangfolio's (I hope I got that right) or Pasil pte's collections. Then again there's some beautiful gens in TTK's and Thomasng's collections or the quality rep's of Richard Lawton. I suppose in the end have to say..... I like mine Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Brother or...sister..? It seems that Mine is an esteemed member there, so I vote for him/her too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Oh Yes. No need to say that if I did not mention Nanuq he is one of my favourite too And has said, many others... @Mademoiselle V. Sorry for Madame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 There are far too many on this forum who's taste and collections I admire. Lots of fine collectors and enthusiasts here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratedzeus Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 My taste is limited by money more than others... I would love ubi's collection but GOD I could never afford that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Thanks for the kind words, piratedzeus! To be fair.... A lot of my projects have been slowly built over time, with parts acquired here and there as I find them. A lot of little cash hits don't hurt quite as badly as one big hit all at once. Just requires a little patience, as sometimes the begining of the project simply looks like nothing more than a pile of parts, or worse- Just a single part! Anyways... If you're looking to build a project, budget for both money AND time! Set some acceptable price ranges/figures for what you feel comfortable spending per part, and keep an eye out for those items (buying what meets your criteria at that given time). Keep focus on your goal, and you'll find yourself at the end of it; maybe sooner, maybe later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I would have to say that I simply admire (envy) Ubi's collection. My only reasoning is how he master the art of piecing parts of watches to make the "perfect daytona" that IMO has a soul. I've envied it so much that I've sourced a EBEL 134 and 16520 Black dial and hands. (nearly $1.5K!) Now onto the case, crown, pushers, and bracelet. I've been thinking of using a rep 16520 as a base and disassembling the rest of it. Ubi, what are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Anton... You're on your way to an EXCELLENT start! As for the case... Don't use an off the shelf rep 16520 as the basis. There are better cases out there (hit me up on PM). As for a gen crown... I can help with that too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) TTK's gen collection... and Ubi's "super reps" come to mind first. Pugwash has awesome collection as well. Almost all the best reps released. Lots of members have great collections: Bazz, Jetsons, Richard Lawton, Pismo, Eunomians, Repaustria, Palpatine, etc. Actually it's impossible to list them all. Stephane must own all Rolex Submariner rep models already. My taste in watches is very typical and average. I just buy certain type of (popular) sports models. I never get bored of Omegas, Breitlings and stainless steel sports Rolexes. Edit: Forgot dluddy and robertk of course.

chris5264 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 It would be a long list, and I'm terrible with names but I think flavor flav's originals and mods stand out as a personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I have to go with Ubi for his eclectic yet all sterling pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
