You tried it on but you didn't buy it.

Too many.....I have a folder where I file these under "possibilities"....btw, this list is probably about 60% of what is in that folder.

Some might eventually make it into my watch box. But it will take a lot of focus, hard work (to make the extra funds) for most of the pieces up listed.

Wow that enamel Breguet... I know we are mostly used to guilloche dials from Breguet but combination on their enamel pieces, Breguet hands, enamel dial, Breguet numerals and the matching sweeping font of the Breguet logo makes for a really special look.

Tried it on. It's spectacular, in ways not easily understood or appreciated unless you see it in real life. But I still can't decide if it's too small for me.

In that pic it looks just the perfect size.

I wanted to buy this one, and tried it on:


Did not like it at all when on my wrist. Tried about 20 other 5's, nope. As I was completely set on buying a watch, I bought the SKX009, but that never had a click too, unfortunately, so became the first watch I ever sold.

I did try on a lot of watches I did not intend to buy anyway, so that does not really count.

And the best thing about it.....it was so comfortable on my wrist.....

But, I can't justify that kind of money on 1 watch.

Maybe, if I decide to sell some of my existing and consolidate, this is actually very high on my list.

very true.. i'm agree with you martin.. the factory nylon is not feel comfy for me either... but if you put it on a soft and supple leather... it would just 'breath' and a joy on the wrist =)

mine on various experimentation:

... would you believe that bezel doesn't turn? Look at that bezel and tell me it doesn't turn.

... It doesn't turn.

Loathed as I am to use this, it totally applies here WTF ?! That's just wrong

I recently posted this in the Rolex AD thread - Also relevant here:

When I saw pictures of this, I thought: Yes. Finally. That's the one for me. It usually bugs me; but, I can see straight past the repeated ROLEX around the rehaut, because the blue dial just draws me in.
Went to the AD to try it on - A lovely thing that just oozes quality; but looked and felt too small on me

My 'collection' is missing an ORIS (amongst a ton of others !) - I want an ORIS, but haven't yet found the one that says "Buy me!" - I try on ORIS watches on a regular basis at the local AD during my lunch breaks; but still searching for 'the one'

JLC Reverso, i like the looks on pictures, but IRL it looked totally wrong (on my wrist)



Same with Nomos, too small, to big gap between the strap and case, odd lugs...

[mikeylacroix]

[wschofield3]
