nnomad Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 The last watch on the line..the last one you would even consider to sell, give or lose..the one that has your wrist engraved on its back.............................................................your holly grail....that one replica that makes you feel each time you use it what you felt the first time you have it on your wrist........... THE ONE AND ONLY:
seymur Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I am belive most people would answer Rolex , Breitling , IWC , Omega etc.. those top popular brands But for me to this question answer is funny and diffrent : I would say my favorite is Oris TT3 7750.. Teh I love this watch!!!!!!!! Edited May 12, 2009 by seymur
FxrAndy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Tastes change, at one pont it was the INGY and i went and spent my life savings on the gen, (good job too as the bank crashed just after) but the 3717 is close, but i have made a few watches my self and even done a lot of movement work, so i would ever sell that one, To do it i had to learn servicing, cleaning, perlage, graining in straight lines, polishing, angulering ( crap spelling) assembly and gold plating. Would you give up your learning peice? That movement started out as this
seymur Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Agree! Dave is this movement is old tape 17 jewel h.wind? Teh I love those movements simply works for years with no problem Andy, that is truly a work of art.
pizzanooo Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 My first nice rep and paid alot for it back then. Got this one from Eddie in 04. First one got lost and had given up when El gave me a mail that a replacement was forthcoming. True to his word there it was. A friendship was born and at his suggestion I should wonder over to rwg1 to check things out. Lots of good times I associate with this watch here and will keep forever.
By-Tor Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Is this about reps or gens? About gens... Pepsi GMT is my "grail" watch. Rolex has never made more perfect watch (just mho). Will never sell it. About reps/frankens... my white Explorer II CHS is pretty unique. Will never sell it, either.
Star69 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 the 1665 GW - my all time fav - always comes back to me cheers, Frank
TeeJay Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 That's be my 004, which was a birthday present from my wife a few years ago. It needs a new movement, and hasn't seen wrist time in a while, but it's going nowhere
