What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

Just as in audio, I too have weaknesses for watches. Though my preference runs along the larger sized sport varieties. Luckily, they happen to have pretty good credentials and historical background as well, thus collecting and making them another hobby quite worthwhile.

In my current collections are Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, De Lacour, Rolex (inherited), Panerai, and as stated earlier, mostly are the Limited Editions ROO (Royal Oak Offshores) from AP (Audemars Piguet). They are beautiful to behold, looks great worn, and most even appreciate in value.. =))
Hi Jmo, thanks..
mine are two basic ones, the RM010 in WG (plain), and RG (w/diamond bezel). I loved their tourbs--beautiful, RM008 being my favorite, but too much for right now. Wanted to get the RM011 last year actually, but ended up spending the money on a 'pre-amp' instead! =) Well, torn between hobbies, just gotta give in somewhere.

You have amassed a great collection there yourself! Loved your Pans--Black Seal! I have the 1950 and their early 40mm Chrono (Zenith's) in bracelet. Used to loved and owned the Lange1 and Datograph, but ever since got used to the ROO size watches, have traded most of them for limited APs.
Brian, great choice--the Glashutte Original as are the Lange1 are already a classic and a good investment too! They will be snapped up pretty quickly in the used market at good prices. Had my Lange1 for about 5yrs and traded them at almost no loss! (of course their rrp was up around 20-30% since then). For watches, if you choose good--you will not loose much, and if choose great--you may even make some upon re-selling. Sad to say, this never happens with audio.. =((

Tony, good idea.. Go ahead, YOU take the lead, sell some stuffs and show the ways.. Then maybe, many many will follow suit? =))
Hi Brian, it's been 3yrs! hope all is well..

After all these years for me it's still Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille mostly..
