Big anniversary watch PuristS input needed
At 3 am, I realized I will have a big birthday coming up in several years. I then contemplated which instead of sleeping. I think the Urwerk time hunter was the catalyst for my lack of sleep. Other candidates would be a Freak, one of the Trilogy, a MR from Kari. Anyone else with suggestions please chime in.
On another note, should I sell most of my collection to help pay for it??

Ahhh...the Duometre!

Analogy, Freak. Any other suggestions?
What a lovely idea to consult with the PPro community!
Several marvellous suggestions have been made. Now, having in mind your contributions, and from there deducting a bit aboiut your interests, I would definitely suggest to you to look into a watch that has ultimate precision as its goal ans which tries to ...

Electronic but a Hoptroff watch is a possibility. A Freak is possible. The De Bethune watch es do not callbl out to be bought. As to. G-F Signature 1 I would have to ruminate on it as it does not call out to be bought. Maybe Paul Gerber,Kari or another in...
IMHO would vote for Freak. It is iconic and unique and matches the special occasion.
Next would be Kari and then the Tellurium. Mitch
They are all in the running for now. I realized in several years, unforseen..
Watches may come out that might rise to the top of the list. Another constraint is that the watch plus strap cannot be over around 100 grams.
Not sure about the Freak but the others I am sure close to the weight restriction. I know
