I am thinking of spending ($3-6K) on a "nice" sportish/dressyish watch. Reading this thread suggests that I need to do much more research... Can you all lead to me a site where I can learn about watches? Which brands are respected vs which brands are more "desginer" (which I want to stay away from)??? Thanks, John |
Can you all lead to me a site where I can learn about watches? Which brands are respected vs which brands are more "desginer" (which I want to stay away from)???Check out Time Zone . Take a look under the brand forums. Some of the top brands that are highly respected: Rolex, Panerai, Audemars Piguet, IWC, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Girard-Perregaux, Roger Dubuis... http://www.watchnet.com is also a good site. Enjoy! |
Jb8312, The one other thing I would suggest is definitely see the watches in person, and try them on your wrist. It's remarkable how your list of favorites can change once you actually try them on. I had this experience with a Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo3, which I thought was just OK in photos, but flipped for it in person...and I bought it. Like audio, fine watches can be a very gratifying hobby. And the folks on the Time Zone threads are really supportive and helpful. If you need suggestions for dealers of specific brands, email me privately, and I'll do whatever I can to help. |
