Horological machines, now with 25% more pretense.

They had some pretty sick looking reps of those rectangular ones on Canal St. this past year, good looking display back and everything, how far that industry has come.

I've seen a good amount of good looking Dewitts, Milles too, just crazy compared to what I've heard what the rep industry used to be.

Thanks to this thread mainly i really got into watches so I just bought my first expensive watch, the new tag aquaracer, for my 20th birthday. Here are some pics.

I like that, dcg3. It's automatic right? (I can't read in the crappy pics!)

look how sick this watch looks.... just read about it... prolly gonna pick it up

I know this watch was posted a while back in this thread, but I'm pumped because I just got my own. I love the way it looks, and you can wear it with anything. I tried the regular Navitimer, but it seemed so tiny to me. I guess I'm fully on board with this trend of bigger watches.

Breitling Navitimer World, white dial.

Very nice watch, but be aware; it's a scrath-magnet.

Used to have the Breitling Chronomat Evolution (very nice watch) but it would scratch really easily.

Also, try wearing it on the right hand.

Oh man, that must be why I'm six hours late to everything, haha.

Beautiful. Enjoy.

the navi world is the definition of breitling imo...big, bold, and blingy!

What are the experts thoughts on old Girard Perregaux watches like this one. Why are the old ones so cheap compared to the new? Obviously the company improved, but are these still really good old watches?

I spotted this trolling around from the above link and I just can't get over how cool this watch is despite/considering its age. Have to think I would rather have 10 examples like this instead of 1 $5k production model.

^^^^ Very nice. 49mm, wow. Giant watch for that time period. I wonder if it was a re-cased pocketwatch.

does anyone own one of these? obama watch ldo.

bought to buy an all silver oyster rolex off a friend (23yo)..... also tried purchasing a fake tag monaco from idolreplicas.com.... horrible customer service... i just get ignored, and never got my watch... gotta report it to credit card company now

better fake watch site??

It must be. 49mm is ridiculous for today even. Also, clicking that link set off all sorts of malware alarms. The pics are hosted on some bogus site but otherwise there doesn't appear to be anything harmful. I would wonder what the seller is doing hosting images on a shady site like that, though.

^^ Sounds like a scam. They bear no risk of loss. If the shipper lost it, they will pay the claim. That's what insurance is for.

Good luck.

It's just 100 bucks no bi deal... But if watch looks pretty good I prolly wanna buy a bunch of stuff from them... Frustraing that they are shizzy scanners

Its a shame when you can't trust people who are selling FAKE watches

Seriously, this.

Wow I love that Glashutte, too big for me but you'd have a decent conversation piece when people inevitably comment on it.

Mine arrives tomorrow!

Is this watch going to look ridiculous on somebody with ridiculously small wrists and forearms? I don't want to feel like I'm wearing a Corvette on my wrist or something. It's 40mm and 11mm thick. Everyone is talking like 40mm is small, but I don't know if that's so small for somebody with my wrists. Also, it has no lugs. My main concern is not to look like a tool. I like the look of the watch a lot, but would it be good to wear with a shirt and shorts?
