You have too many beautiful avant-garde pieces in your collection to have purely conservative taste. Are your spectacular Greubel Forsey and De Bethune pieces consistent with conservative taste?


So I don't actually believe your watch tastes are always as conservative as you say, but I think there are times - like the occasion you just mentioned - where it’s important to you to be seen as being conservative. That’s not quite the same thing 😀

So I say come to the dark side, embrace your wild side that loves this blinged-out Rolex, wear it often (outside of the house!) and to hell with what anyone else thinks.

Look what just showed up! Never thought I’d see it. I know, I know, it’s gaudy and flashy and and and BUT it’s pretty to look at.

The workmanship is stunning. Very very limited wear and perhaps not at all but it sure is fun to stare at and wear around the house. Wow. And a very good financial move too. Anyway, thought you might enjoy a look. Some will hate it, some will love it . . ...

I owned that watch, I would probably never wear it, but I would enjoy it every day. It would be in my home on display wear the light could hit it “just right”. I think it’s beautiful!😍

Actually I am quite “taken” with it. I love gemstones and always have. Not necessarily to wear but to admire and look at. So this watch “excites” me in that regard.

I’m pretty conservative and may not ever wear it; but I’ll look at it a lot and appreciate the beautiful gems and the workmanship.

LOVE IT!!! [nt]

I would love to wear it (not in Hotspot area’s 😉) 👍🏻 Congrats and wear it (or look at it )in best of health 🙏🏻🌈

I bet you’d win too! I attended a wedding in Cabo last weekend of a good friend who is a major brand president for the US; attended by many many people in the watch industry.

Large retailers and buyers alike from near and far. If there was ever a smaller “event” to wear an “important” (translation “show off”) watch to it would have been this. My watch? My $800 Mido Commander Shade and I loved it! I think this all fits with bei...

I have a long and not so happy story with this watch. Ultimately, my AD lost their franchise because they were moving locations and I presume that new location encroached on another dealer's territory. And thus, I didn't get the watch! Enjoy EdTonkin! Def... 

I like it for my wife :) [nt]
