I like IWC's new pilot world time. Anything with a map on the face is too much, imo.

Talk about cluttered! It's still a Patek though and I love a perpetual calendar with a leap year indicator.

I have always thought that a cronograph complication is a waste of dial space (also dont like the buttons on the side of the watch which operate it). Does anyone have a watch with a cronograph function and actually make use of it?

people don't really buy complications for their practicality... you don't need a 100k+ watch to tell you whether or not there's an extra day in February this year or what the moon looks like.

can't hold a candle to any of the watches in here, but I just got my first adult watch:

pretty happy with it. From reading this thread I have a lot to aspire to.

would snapcall this if it was $2.5k to $3k less as I love the old school Genta

Can't justify $6600 for Sellita though.

Not a huge fan of black watches but that iwc is something.

Like the Citizen also actually. Good choice - hope you enjoy it.

Yea for someone as clumsy as me, i needed a good durable watch that looks cool. Price was decent and supposedly this thing will last just about forever. The manual says it can go 6 months in darkness without needing a charge.

I've never had a bronze watch before, and being a Halios fanboy I am pretty tempted to pick one of these up when they are released. Any thoughts?

Grey dial looks pretty sweet as well imo:

I like it a lot. That's the type of watch I could see wearing casually with brown shoes/belt rather than wearing my Oris all the time. I don't like wearing gold color watches because they are too flashy. The bronze is better. I like clean dials and that fits perfectly. I would go with the green. It's unique but still muted and not all crazy. That rugged leather strap really seems to go nicely with it as well.

So I have a Breitling Navitimer World with a white face I bought online. Probably interested in selling it. Have a few questions.

1. I bought it online from a reputable online site. Does this in any way effect the value of the watch? Is there anything different about it?

2. Is there a good place to sell these types of things for someone with no feedback? I assume forums would be tough(although my rep here could help)

3. Are there any common scams in this marketplace I should be aware of?

I love bronze watches, and I think that Halios is spot on.

Love the grey dial - I think it's a bit more versatile. Apparently pre-orders closed 1st May though, so I suppose you can buy one around July ish? I want one!
