[pic heavy] New watches for the past 2 weeks

Recommended Posts

torqiet

These are my watches gotten from the past 2 weeks. Im still expecting a few more deliveries :drool: Think i might have a mild addiction problem..My favorites are definitely the Omegas. My pics dont do them justice, they are really awesome in person.

 

Some quick thoughts on the watches.

 

A. Lange- Cheap 21j buy. Looks good on the wrist but a little too big for me. The minute hand wasn't cleaned properly before shipping, but you have to examine it to see it. i tried to take a pic of that and wasted 5 minutes of my life doing that. it speaks volumes about my photography skills. Leather strap is low quality. Feels light, which is good if you dont like heavy metal on your wrist, but im used to having Breitlings and Ball watches on my wrists, so this feels less solid for me. Will probably sell this as i can't see myself pulling this off in any scenario.

 

JLC-Another.cheap buy- decent quality for the price. Movement runs really well, i hardly powered it up and it was up and running for half a day. Again leather strap quality is low. Overall, Im really pleased with this buy for a cheapo. Will probably rotate this for office use.

 

Pam 217-Bought M2M and was from Sead. Custom strap is really soft and nice, i really like it. Im a left-hander and prefer this to the 127 on my right wrist. A real classic and i had to have this.

 

Pam fantasy kampfschwimmer build- Bought M2M together with the 217. I wasn't very hopeful when i bought it, i only agreed to buy it as it was a great deal. But im really happy with it, the strap is real comfortable, and the watch really distinguishes itself without being overly fancy. Awesome.

 

Omega 007 50th Anniversary Ceremic- My favorite of the lot. Cant believe how good this looks in person and on the wrist. Its going to share more time with my Breitling SuperAbyss.

 

Omega Noob Planet Ocean -This is also awesome. Again im impressed with how sharp the watch looks.

 

AP Montauk Highway v2-This was the one i really wanted the most, feels and looks good on the wrist but with the colour combination, i dont think ill wear this as often as my Pams and Omegas.

Nice Collection! How does the size of the AP compare to the others. Bigger than Pams? about the same?

yes the straps belong in the bin.. going to get a nice strap for my JLC and AP.

 

AP: the setting makes it bigger than most 44mm Pams. im barely able to pull this off with my girly 6.25-6.5 wrist.

Not only tighten it but use some blue loctite too. If you lose that screw you'll be mighty upset.

You're dead already mate! When she realises how much you have spent, you are a dead man!

 

Pace yourself, otherwise you'll have nothing to buy soon.

 

Nice collection though :)

i suppose you are right. this now reminds me of the time i almost managed to buy a car before she knew about it. had to sleep at the couch for a month and stay clear of her whenever she was cutting fruits with a new sharp knife she bought.. :death:

 

mudman1-->just send the box to me. 1 death is enough.
