This would be mine.think it also comes in a gold bracelet

The black bezel kills it for me. I like that one in SS with orange numerals and the rubber with orange stitching

:drool:

 

Then stop fannying around and get a Patek Sky Moon Tourbillon

That would be a gold 'Ive been fucked over' watch

 

 

hardly the panache the OP seeks I fear

The ROO is not a "look at me" watch. Too few know the brand it doesn't look exotic enough to merit extra attention. You're closer with a Daytona due to the brand recognition.

It's not a super rep, doesn't come with a bracelet as you prefer and is quartz, but give a thought to the PAM 288: it's big, will definitely grab your eye and the cost of the rep is reasonable. The chrono function is reliable and won't give it away if it's off. It's got presence.

I don't know, keep coming back to it and the RO Chrono as others pointed out.

You know what to do. Buy your top three and M2M the ones you don't keep. Unless you keep 'em all ;)

For gold watch, I vote rolex. ROO is nice, but gold Rolex is screaming out 'fuck you I m rich'

 

Before I scratch a hole in my head...how so?

 

It is by no means anywhere in the fiscal rankings of expensive watches

 

Now if you'd said it's screaming out 'I think Im rich but really Im just shallow and deluded' I could go along with it

 

I'm with Narikaa on this one.

 

A gold sub/GMT says " I wanted a gold watch but I wanted something I could wear with anything and was practical as well."

A gold Daytona says "Either I'm a used car dealer or I really like this so I bought it."

A President says "I have money but I am not a big enough watch fanatic to blow 50k on a Patek but still wanted understated class."

 

None of those are fuck you. A gold AP is a fuck you watch. Anyone what matters (ie: anyone who knows quality and therefore has money) will know the value, it's in your face without being OTT like a blinged out Rolie or Hublot and it works with anything from a white tee and a pair of shorts (preferably teamed with a pair of $500 boat shoes) to an Armani suit.

 

If a gold AP is not FU enough then maybe you need to throw taste to the wind and go for bling, get that Rolex sub or a Hublot and pave it in diamonds but to me that says more like "wanker" than FU. True FU is a tad more subtle than that.

Anything by Richard Mille, Jacob & Co, Alain Silberstein et al.

 

(none of the mainstream brands that are instantly recognisable)

I disagree. When OP said FU watch. It gotta say FU to everyone, not only to WIS like us. Hence brand recognition is the most important criteria.

 

I agree AP has much more class than Rolex, but if people don't know the brand, then the watch doesn't say anything. And this defeats the hole point.

A young guy I know back in the UK bought a gen all gold AP chrono (because a few of his contemporaries had too). To regain the higher ground, he took it to a top end jeweller who specialises in such frippery and had the entire case /bracelet set with diamonds.

 

 

He cant spell either

A fucking Rolex even a gold one does not have the impact to say FU. It's too small, too low key.

James.

Patek, the ultimate "FU" watch.

 

 

Or, Mille.

 

 

 

Or for 99% of the population, Rolex.

The correct model designation for that 288 in gold plate is actually 'AAAA+++ PAN Swiss grade watch'

I would have to say Patek is a more classy way to say F*** you. Then again the AP is a modern day F*** you, and Daytona is an all around F*** you. Lol

I know I saw it but can't stand it :lmao:

 

I have Tim helping me try to find the Daytona I like. If not that then it will probably end up being the RO Chrono or ROO Gold Themes

50 cent might need that, what with his recent developments.
