fotoman Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 Well, I bought this, my only Swiss gen: However, I really need a gen IWC chrono. I may get a Sinn chrono on the way, though; there are still some bargains to be had. NOW were talkin
Pugwash Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Hold on, they're making JLCs for The Doctor?
omni Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Patek Philippe 5135 Gondolo Calendario in either Platinum or Rose Gold.
teddy boy Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 very classy omni The two most recent gens I bought were a two tone airking (used) and a new Omega SMP. I like both of them a lot. Both were excellent values.
thomasng Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Philippe Dufour Simplicity- I've tried to buy one for the past 2 years but no one is willing to give theirs up.
omni Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Philippe Dufour Simplicity- I've tried to buy one for the past 2 years but no one is willing to give theirs up. That's an extremely rare great choice thomasng! I saw him on that Television Program "Masters of Time". Last I heard he is taking orders for another 100 now with deliveries in 2008, go for it.

baltic Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 What would you spend your real money on - like, would you save a few K to get a cool gen, even if you could only have 1 of them. What Gen would you buy. My only Gen 'proper watch': Classic styling, unbeatable history, bullet proof movement, good value for money.

Last I heard he is taking orders for another 100 now with deliveries in 2008, go for it. It's a shame that I lost $60K on the stock market today- just exactly more than the cost of this watch.
omni Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 It's a shame that I lost $60K on the stock market today- just exactly more than the cost of this watch. That's why 95% of mine is invested in commercial real estate.
drop Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I have had mine eye on this for a couple of years now... need to pull the trigger someday: Parmigiani Fleurier Kalpa XL Movement: In house Hand winding. Power reserve 8 days Calibre 13 x 10 1⁄2 lignes - 29.3 x 23.6 mm 28 jewels. Double spring barrel. Swan-neck regulator
bkatbamna Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I would get a Glasshute diver with big date.
chris5264 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 At some point, I will pick up a Jochen Benzinger, you really can't replicate this kind of stuff.
arminvanbuuren Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 theres a lot of watches that cant be replicated :\.. for me i like the hublot too :S right now i really want one.. but i cant spend 800$ even on a rep let alone the gen
dvn Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Would this Omega Seamaster Professional 300m Titanium for $1075 a good buy? Purchased from a web store therefore consider a gray market watch but it has serial number intact and reference card and box set.
georgegrasser Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I'd buy the Ebel 1911 GTR. Without a doubt the Ebel 1911. Most can be had for at least 50% off retail. Even the vaunted BTR sells for 40% off.
OiRogers Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Would this Omega Seamaster Professional 300m Titanium for $1075 a good buy? Purchased from a web store therefore consider a gray market watch but it has serial number intact and reference card and box set. Not a bad price at all... I'm assuming Quartz at that price point?... (nothing wrong with that...still a stunning watch). Never been replicated... and I'm guessing it won't be anytime soon.... shame. I'd buy one and in re: OP... I just recently acquired a Speedy Moon... after much deliberation, the flaws of the reps just said "buy the gen" to me... so the question is now: What next?... Depending on many variables... A nice used pam 186 or possibly a new 177 would be my next dream watches that are somewhat achieveable... time will tell.
jmt Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I'd do something that isn't repped, but is cool! I love GMTs, so I'd do something like this Carl F Bucherer:
fotoman Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 I'd do something that isn't repped, but is cool! I love GMTs, so I'd do something like this Carl F Bucherer: oh, thats cool, i hadn't seen that before - - which was the idea behind the thread
scoobs1971 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 If I'd had the money I would buy any of these or maybe all... - PAM00214 Radiomir Chrono - Tag Heuer Monaco Chrono - Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor - Jaeger LeCoultre Master Hometime - IWC Spitfire Double Chronograph

TWP Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 UN Freak. It's so odd, it deserves to be bought. Pugwash ah i see that you remembered the Freak.
