myaz 3 Posted April 4, 2012 hard to beat the Santos or Tank in looks. Runner up: the JLC Reverso http://www.timeshops.net/6317-ja6817-jaeger-master-reverso-skeleton-dial-ss-lt-asian-skeleton-manual-wind.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pihlippe 1,288 Posted April 4, 2012 Noo use your money on a PAM 312 with black leather strap. 44mm is okay even for a slim wrist Uups did I say that..... hmmm Browse through the used market and you will find one for $150-200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardMiami 4 Posted April 5, 2012 Santos with no gold. It is a classic, and gold is too much bling for the office Sent from my Touchpad using my fingers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bklynboy 0 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I'm going off the rep reservation here, although I have the TAG McQueen as well, but I also have this boutique Kemmner Tounneau Has a swiss ETA 2824 with a nice display back and cost about $300 Edited April 5, 2012 by bklynboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tesmith2112 0 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) The Aquanaut gets no love on this site, but I think it's a very unique under appreciated piece. Edited April 5, 2012 by tesmith2112 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bklynboy 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks T, but they are borrowed This one is mine however Aquanaut fan too, on leather with deployment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tesmith2112 0 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Looks good! Hardly ever see it on leather. That strap looks like it came off a complications. I wish it were a 42MM, then I'd really be in love. Let me know if/when want get to get rid of it. I'll buy it or trade you something. I have several nice pieces now I'd consider trading. What's the movement and where did you source it?

bklynboy 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Its a swiss eta from an rwg (other) member You wouldn't want it, its too small, only about 35mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tesmith2112 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Its a swiss eta from an rwg (other) member You wouldn't want it, its too small, only about 35mm Okay, it's not the jumbo.... I thought it looked small, but your arm looks pretty big so I couldn't tell. Sorry OP for pooping on you thread. Take a look at the Jumbo Aquanaut however, it's nice!

DFH 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Perrelet 24 Hours GMT / Cushion - from the inventor of the automatic movement (Abraham Louis Perrelet)... Great dress watch - I have a gen - got it for about $1600.00 on sale a couple of years ago. I saw a rep in Paris last year for around $225.00 but never found a source for it online. Great world city/GMT function and oozes subtle class.... Highly recommeded if you can find one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 5, 2012 Cartier Santos XL. If you can find the 'Ultimate' version (as below) it's one of the most accurate reps out there - frighteningly close to gen. Even the strap is top quality. Usually supplied with a Sellita SW200-1 movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita Fanjita 1,782 Posted April 5, 2012 Or the chrono version. One of the classiest reps I've got and had a few comments on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted April 5, 2012 Square-ish Oh bugger, just saw your budget. Luthier found that non-Trusted Dealer selling these in 21j for about $90, I think?

mianos 0 Posted April 5, 2012 +1 for the Santos 100. The super version is damned near perfect has an excellent band as well. You won't regret it. (They still sell weekly in the genuine market on ebay and I am sure people who buy them never know). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
