Slink73 6 Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) So my wife treated me to a quite exceptional and what I truly believe is a unique and special thing. She won't say how much it cost but knowing where she bought it and the finish is so good I reckon its possibly gen money.... it is a highly polished ebony box with the most detailed dragon inlayed with mother of pearl, bone and I am assured NO ivory... And inside? And here in lies the problem. It holds six watches. And this is what I have promised myself I will now stick to. I have a gen rollie on order (tbc) but in effect, I am left with two spare slots and one on the wrist. So bar some canal st. omega's and the DSSD in the shot what do I pass on through M2M and what should I maybe buy? Apologies for the piss poor photography, thumbprints, my ageing greying pubes and all the other detritus in the shots... The Tudor has been a loyal friend and my daily beater, the milsub is an unloved amazing watch, modded to the hilt and the PAM is just lovely... This is not about who has the best sub I am genuinely at a loss and love the challenge I have set myself... bronzo PAM, Daytona (been suggested and quite taken), go Franken (bit pissed with that) but I have now given myself an itch to scratch but no space for a tickle stick! Going on your fabulous opinions some of these will be on M2M very soon! THE GENS IN THE BOX ARE STAYING Edited May 2, 2018 by Slink73 spelling!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xpletiv 16 Posted May 2, 2018 G, what's wrong with the Oris?! ya little........ It's got a good shape just a tad difficult to see the dial, but it's different. What about laying the not-so-loved ones underneath the 6, if the section lifts out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a Miles Davis Tonneau Chronograph limited run with silver face (much nicer than the black) - it's about 15 years old and still keeps time brilliantly (serviced once in that time). Admittedly weighs as much as a baby rhino but it's pretty different to all the stuff you see today... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have bought some very expensive straps for it and it does grab the eye but would I be happier with an IWC Spitfire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using the funds from those sales to go buy a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (does anyone know why they're such freaking expensive reps?) Hiding them won't help me buy replacements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a ladies watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slink73 6 Posted May 3, 2018 So I am thinking of M2M'ing the Milsub, The Pelagos, the PAM 127 (not in the pics) and... possibly one more... But what do I replace them with AP Roo (my junior would love that), IWC or something a little leftfield... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
