For everything else, I wear the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time. I love it, I cant imagine wearing anything else right now really.

just got a Garmin 305 for running and biking.
It's HUGE, but the review said it tracks satellites better than the newer and smaller 405. I got it so I could track my speed, distance and heart rate. You can also sign up for some online services that track your workouts and can make pretty cool maps.

Re: Let's Talk Watches
i found this one pretty amazing for a while:
(takes a while until you fully understand the mechanism it uses to tell time. very complex mechanics. price is not listed but will likely be in the 100k range.)

in the more reasonable price range i like watches like these (IWC for the win):

unfortunately my wrists are quite thin and all the big watches look stupid on me.

You need to be more specific about what you want.

It's in your price range, maybe actually a bit cheaper.
Only problem with this is it's a manual wind.

Re: Let's Talk Watches
That Incursore is 44mm, there are 46mm versions but not with that "California" dial. Also, there are automatic versions in both sizes, but again, not with the Cali dial.

Re: Let's Talk Watches
Manual wind isn't really that big of a deal either.

Let's put it this way. Earlier in the thread Citanul mentions a chap who plonks a fistful of diamonds down on a table to demonstrate how wealthy he is. He does that because he finds the alternative of a Jacob and Co. watch too tacky.
