JohnG 41 Posted November 20, 2008 Next two on my list are a nice Pam (can't decide which - but pretty sure I want sandwich dial) - maybe something by DSN, and an IWC Ingy... oh and an SMP, oh and a Tag link Chrono... oh and I am starting to like some of the other Breitlings.... Fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck. I'm still managing to avoid Breitling addiction. I still love the Flying B, but have decided it's too expensive given the amount of wrist time it would be likely to get - it's a little too flashy for daily wear imho. Panerai, however, has got me by the balls. There's at least three more that I want. My 111 & my Fiddy are my two most frequently-worn watches. Love 'em to bits. A 113, a Luminor base and a Radiomir are definitely on the cards. Then there's a 183, a 177h and probably a better Fiddy.... hmmm, make that six more I want. IWC. Yep. Tag Link? Yep. SMP? not so much, but I really have a fancy for a Speedmaster.... Like you said. Fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a thing of beauty. How expensive is it? They have SS version too. Prices depend on dealers. I saw $2920, $1860, and 568 euro. I emailed to my friends in Eastern Europe, soon will know low possible price. Edited November 21, 2008 by Luthier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted November 21, 2008 Julian Kampmann in Germany is probably the best dealer for Russian watches. He is not the cheapest but neither is he anywhere near the most expensive, and he has the BEST after sales service. He also will only only work on watches sold by him (many Russian watches have Russian movements loosly based on Valjoux movements not manufactured since the 60's - so finding a competent watchsmith to work on them is not that easy). So buying from his has the distinct advantage of gaining access to one of the few specialists on these watches when it comes time for servicing... I did lots of research on dealers before I bought from him and he had far and away the best overall reviews. http://www.poljot24.de/en/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
