Steve AKA Creamedcage 0 Posted January 22, 2014 After negotiating with my accountant (the wife) on how much I can spend on a watch on a quarterly basis, I thought the hardest job had been done and dusted. Now the easy part, pick a watch to buy WRONG! There are so many watches out there how does one decide what is going to be the next purchase? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electron17 0 Posted January 22, 2014 Write down a list of all the watches you are wanting and then prioritise the list. Then buy the one at the top. You have to be ruthless to get it right. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve AKA Creamedcage 0 Posted January 22, 2014 I already have a Tag and Rolex. RWG brought to my attention APs and I have fallen in love with them. So the first watch I have ordered under the new agreement is AUDEMARS PIGUET LEO MESSI ROSE GOLD.QC. Part of the agreement is what I ever win on poker can be used to purchase more watches. I only play micro stakes but today was a good day winning $40, therefor my next watch is just round the corner, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted January 22, 2014 My advice would be to pick what you like the best and write them down. But make it what you like as a priority.... I started to make a list a couple of weeks back when I joined and was adding a couple here and there because of what others said, I then realised that I didn't actually like some of them and from there I have only gone on what I would like to see staring back up at me from my wrist. I will be the one wearing it. A good place to see lots of random ones is the weekly wrist check thread. Sometimes ones pop up in there I haven't seen before that catch my eye. If I like the look of them I look into it a bit deeper and, maybe, onto the list they go. Also there is M2M forum to see just the completely random ones that pop up on there. Something could take your fancy at a good price and be on your wrist within a week or so Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted January 22, 2014 I have found that since joining the forum and having been exposed to and having talked exstensively about watches, that my tastes are always evolving. Watches that I found interesting 6 months ago I no longer find interesting, and watches that just 3 months ago I never would have looked twice at I am now wearing on my wrist Sometimes it takes me weeks to decide what my next purchase is going to be. Just remember to do your research. read about the movements. If the subdials work. If it has a true moonphase or just a sun/moon indicator...Etc... Aside from all that, just find the watch that expresses you. The watch that you feel drawn to. That you like. Don't worry about other people's opinions of it, because at the end of the day, It's strapped to your wrist, not everyone else's. Ya feel me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
