After literally a year of thinking I'm close to pulling the trigger on one of these (first >$400 watch purchase):
Retails for about 7k AUD:
About 4k AUD:
4K AUD as well:
I probably would have already bought the Longines if I didn't go and try on the IWC this weekend (obv loved it). The Baume was one I had never considered until the sales girl suggested it and I tried it on, I'm really liking it now and it seems a lot better than the Longines for the same price. I'm hoping to haggle down which ever one I decide to go for, but I really can't make up my mind. My only hesitation for not getting the IWC is 7k seems like a lot to spend on a first higher end watch. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
