Blancpain: Chrono was my choice

I faced the same dilemma that you are now dealing with two years ago. Since I didn't already have a chrono in my collection I went with the FF Chrono. Love the watch, it is one of my "regulars" and I love playing with the chrono function. If I had went with the regular FF the watch just wouldn't hol

Patek Philippe: Awesome pics!

Ranier - I'd thank you for posting these pics but alas you've just made me more than 2nd guess my decision to pass on this beauty! LOL. Wow, what a watch. I have to figure out a way to acquire this one as well and that's all there is to it. Best regards. Tom

Patek Philippe: A great watch indeed.

I tried one on at my AD for the first time 10 days ago. Even more impressive in real life. Stunning might be the word for it! I was undecided between that and a couple of other Pateks (see my post below from June 23rd). Ultimately I walked out empty handed as I decided to save some more coin for ano

Patek Philippe: Thanks for all the great advice!!

The pics of the three Nauts were awesome, nice collection! It was like a couple of you were reading my mind about this - too funny! I am leaning toward the 5712 but I just don't know if I can be patient enough. And Patrick certainly makes a convincing case for the 6000! Well, tomorrow I go to my AD

Patek Philippe: Need some advice/help - 6000 or 5124 or...

..wait and keep contributing to my watch fund for a 5712/1?? All three watches look fantastic but my indecisiveness is getting the best of me. I even solicited my 5 year old daughters opinion (she likes the 6000). But the elegance and manual wind of the 5124G is very appealing and the 5712/1 is just

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Yes, the articulated rubber

I originally went with the stainless steel bracelet Lady GMT, which she really liked. But when we went to the AD to size it she saw the Chrono with the white articulated rubber and feel in love! So we swapped it out for that watch. She gets mad compliments on the watch all of the time. The rubber gi

Officine Panerai: One of my favorites!

I own a 25 and it sees more wrist time then my 233. The waffle dial is what first attracted me to this one. A watch with great character IMO. Your strap looks great on it! I may have to change mine up a bit, still sporting the OEM rubber.

Jaeger-LeCoultre: The JLC for sure!

I bought my wife a JLC MC Chrono last year for her 40th and she loves loves loves it! In fact she could never really understand my watch obession but she does now. By coincidence I also considered the Chopard (which is a lovely watch), but the right choice was certainly the JLC for her. Tom

Patek Philippe: Yes, great ad!

I also saw the ad in a recent copy of Fortune magazine. The other recent ads from Patek were a turn-off for me - the subjects look much to aristocratic for me. The cats in this ad look cool and down to earth. I had a chance to pick up this watch last year but went with a Panerai 233 and the new JLC
