Starvin' Marvin Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Soon after I wrote that earlier I came across a for sale pic of the only Tag I've ever REALLY wanted... The Gulf livery Monaco. I'm a sucker for Gulf coloured anythingGood Lord The Gulf Monaco. Probably the best looking Tag there is. My other favourite is the Carrera. pista, Chris_ and Underachiever 3

Chris_ Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Are you the one that had that amaizing paint job done by bogus? Haha no, buts thats pretty sexy
Chris_ Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Definitely try and wear it a bit before you ever buy. I learned the hard way with my IWC Big Pilot that comfort is very important. I loved that watch, but I started to wear it less and less after the novelty wore off Nah I'll never buy it, as the years tick by I'm realizing I'd rather spend my shekles on travel than a watch. I do say though good watch buying (if done properly) is a great investment/asset though. Certainly better than a lot of other more typical classes. My first ever bonus (and as it turns out my last ....) went into a IWC. I LOVE the brand. That and Panerai are my top of the pops. If I come across fair pre-owned deal one day, who knows. We were in Zurich end of last year and walking mouth agape through those watch shops was a fantastic experience.

Chris_ Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 The USSR navy diver my boet gave me for my 40th birthday. The thing is HUUUUGE: I spy a strap.. I love divers watches, especially ones with cool stories like this, (its a pity there isn't a little rusky emblem on the face.) Patensie 1

I love divers watches, especially ones with cool stories like this, (its a pity there isn't a little rusky emblem on the face.)Unfortunately, the Ruskies didn't spend money on niceties on these. You should see the original "strap"... The strap you spy is from www.cheapestnatostraps.com https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/nato-regimental/products/nato-regimental-strap-light-blue-black-and-orange-20-mm Edited February 21, 2019 by Patensie

Its great to be able to chop and change straps, it just gives an old watch a fresh new take on life.

Almost pulled the trigger on a IWC Le Petit Prince recently, but was not ready to sell anything yet. The 43mm size with classic pilot look is stunning and super comfortable Chris_, the nerd, gummibear and 5 others 8
