Re: Let's Talk Watches

Can someone recommend me a watch with a silver bracelet and a black dial for under $1k?

Was looking at this one:

Also what are people thoughts on this tag formula one? Is it worth the extra money?

You can find some nice Raymond Weil pieces fitting that description for under $1K.

"tag" and "worth the extra money" should never be in the same sentence IMO. Especially if you're talking new. You can pick them up used pretty reasonably, though.

you need to get more specific as to desired functions, quartz or mechanical (then handwound or automatic), size, dressy or sporty.

saying you want a black dial with a silver color bracelet is like saying you want to buy a black car with a leather interior.

I really like this UN:



But can't really drop 6 grand right now. Any recommendations for something in the 2-4K range that looks similar?

Don't drop 4k on a substitute if the one you really want costs 6k. That Stowa is a good choice though and will set you back around $1k.

I'm partial to the Monaco and Carrera lines, but I wouldn't pay $1k for a quartz Formula 1.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I love a few of the Monacos. The Carrera is nice, but I think I'd rather have an Omega for the money.

I think pvn is getting at the rather bloated price of Tags already. If that's where he's going, I agree.

You won't ever catch me paying $1K+ for a quartz of any kind.

There are some really nice leather natos out there.
I bought this and to be honest it might be my favorite purchase in the last few years. It's perfect.

Since no one has posted here in a while, here are some versions of my holy grail, the Glashutte Original PanoMatic series.

Seiya posted this picture of his cordovan collection this morning on his Facebook.

Strange seeing a SUS 4S15 on a leather strap, but I dig it.
