I wear this watch to work (when I had work) used either the 146 or Starwalker 100 Anniversary with it:

That is a fantastic looking watch. If you do not mind my asking, how much does it cost?

 

I am trying to decide between my dream watch or dream pen right now. I was all set to get the pen just a couple days ago, but realized the watch would be in the same price range and more likely to retain its value.

 

Maybe I will make a thread about it.

Retail around $38K but you might be able to find it for $33K or so. Its not as coveted as much as the Nautilus so it might go for a little less than retail.

Watch? Watch? I'm a quality person with a quality pen, I don't need no stinkin' watch when I carry my MB. I show up when I want and I leave when I want

I use a fountain pen because one ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to write a few reasonable words with a fountain pen.

Here is my new watch, the timex luxury sports watch. A hard to beat watch for the money.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

no, it is a timex flying wheel with open heart, retrograde calendar and retrograde power reserve. A spectacular timepiece for its price. It is powered by a seagull st 25 movement, a derivative of the seagull st26 but which is far superior to the eta 2892-a2.

Ah. Very nice. I love a stylishly exposed movement!

I'd like to start of by saying that I am completely humbled by the beautiful LE MBs here and a couple of my favourite Pateks, the 5130 in particular.

 

This is my DateJust, which I tend to sport with my RG Boheme and a RG ring,

Some beautiful watches, no doubt. The Patek on the previous page is stunning!!

 

I enjoy my MB's (although I'm carrying Pel's as often or more, at present). I wear almost always, a $9.99 plastic Walmart Casio.

 

My Rolex GMT and Breitling Navitimer sit together in the watch winder and spin!! I guess I'm just a trifle odd.

 

happily ever after,

mike

This duty occurs to my own mind, now that I am trevelling beyond the term of fifty-eight years, . . . I am now more free . . . . " Cellini

Speaking of the Patek World Time, this is a photo I took of the new 5131 model @ Baselworld last year. It is a stunning piece with an Enamel dial. I love it!

Are you going this year? May I please be on your mailing list? LOL :) I am dying to go this year but doubt I can make it.. Since Patek chooses to miss out on SIHH I can't wait for Baselworld
