Superlative Black Strap Weekend Watch
For many years, I tended to allocate the majority of my watch funds to weekday/dress watches, and spent considerably less on weekend watches. I predicated this disparate allocation on the notion that weekend watches are exposed to greater risk of damage. ...
I'd get the PAM317 or the Parmigiani Pershing
Those 2 would be my top pics. The McGonigle Tourbillon is nice but I would classify that as more of a dress watch and not fitting in your weekend application. The PAM317 has the black ceramic case and the black PVD'ed movement which is to die for. The Per...
G.O Rattrapante and Mac Gonigle are winners! ........
the GO is a bargain, to me, and a very attrative watch.... I'm still thinking about it, the only thinfg that doesn't make me sure is the layout of the dial. The M.G is a superb watch, too, but I guess that the price is much higher than the G.O... Up to yo...
Wow Craig...
... I'm a kid in a candy store. As always amazing stuff. Of the ones pictured I like the GO Perpetual, the JLC, and the Parmigiani in that order. They are clearly sporty and I love the contrast to the rest of your collection. If I may you may also want to...
To help you...
2 wristshots ! They are two different watches. But I love the hands of the Mc Gonigle and the large Tourbillon bridge. Fr.Xavier...
Dressing down …
Thanks for including us all in your decision and thought processes, Craig; always an interesting and enjoyable exercise. While I believe it is possible to dress up or down many of the watches in your collection (the Journe tourbillon comes to mind, which ...
I rarely contribute to advice posts, Craig, mostly because . . .
. . . I feel a twinge of discomfort every time I express an opinion, but I'll make an exception this time because you've mentioned two watches that I find exceptionally compelling. This may surprise you, though - only one of the two is a Glashütte Origina...
Take a look at Sarpaneva...
This Korona K3 Harvest Moon is a stunning watch... And the new Korona K1 are also absolutely beautifull... and available in white gold as well. Just image a white gold version with the blue dial.... awesome!...
Hi Craig ....
you wrote: I love the case, but I am concerned that the dial may be a tad busy." f I apologize for my outburst of laughter, but of all watches you have shown, this Panerai has by far the clearest and most sober dial. In the beginning of your post, when yo...
for me any of these would be a dream come true, but........
putting myself in your shoes, i would go for the McGonigle and convert something else to a weekend watch. the McGonigle is a true independent and in a league of its own compared to even the others which are still lovely pieces. you can buy one of the othe...
For as many times as you have posted about getting the 317...
I'm surprised it is now up in the air. I would think the Tag V4 would be a great weekend watch. Any consideration of that one? And if you seriously considering going back to the Sonata, how about the Sicilium? Talk about a gorgeous dial.
GO or Lange....
especially if you are concerned in being able to sell it after some time as you mention... Besides they are two gorgeous watches.... Cheers
