Tag Carrera series watches are really nice and fairly affordable too (considering high end watch prices). I'd get one of those for now otherwise if you're looking to spend a little more you can get a Breitling Navitimer. That watch series is one my my favorites.

I just bought a Hamilton Jazzmaster, it's a really nice watch for everyday use. Matches with a lot of things.

Recently, I've considered your watch however I think it's on the big side. Do you like it? Are there lume on the dials?

To the OP, what's your price range? You can go with a Panerai, IWC, Cartier, Rolex.... How much do you want to spend?

On a $350,000 watch you would think they could at least ship it for free...

spectrumphoto · 10-04-2008, 06:17 PM

Cartier is nice if you want an easily reconisable "bling" factor as most everyone can spot a Cartier.

For me though its all about Vintage watches.... Like my 1970 Breitling Navitimer. It took 11mo for the refurbish but it is gorgeous.

I love the Cartier Pasha series, they are very timeless pieces.

the economy is tough right now, can't be giving out freebies now!

iamandypark · 10-05-2008, 09:56 PM

it's a good watch, no doubt, i just don't know if i can wear it on a daily basis and be completely satisfied with it. i just think it's kinda a downgrade from the breitling super avenger.

Telling ya... all the new watches are fun and cool, sometimes flashy, but if you want something suave, dignified and classy go vintage. If you like Breitling then there are some wonderful vintage ones out there. Old is the new new...

I was going to get myself a new Cartier Roadster but now I am on the hunt for another vintage watch.

im a righty and i would still buy one

For 10k here is what you can get:
Panerai
Rolex Submariner
Rolex Milgauss (Rare)
Cartier Santos
Cartier Pacha
Bell & Ross (Any)
IWC- (Wide Range of Watches under 10k)

Long run, 10k is a good budget just go try on a bunch of watches and you will find the one you like on your wrist. A watch in a picture and on your wrist looks tottally different.
Good Luck!
