Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

Breitlings are almost all too busy for me. I really don't like them, but I can see how some would love them. I try looking at the watch quickly to see what time it is and instead of a glance I have to follow each arm to see which of the 50 dashes it's actually pointing to.

looks like a NOMOS, not sure what the price  between the two but a NOMOS does have an inhouse movement.

Here is the Antea KS on a 6.25" wrist. The slim bezel and white dial really make the watch wear larger than it really is, but as you can see it looks fine here! I'm not a fan of the lugs, a bit spartan for my taste, but this watch is up there when it comes to timeless beauty.

I'm really feeling the itch to get a new watch, but can't decide on what to get! Heavily debating on the 8500 PO that comes out later this year...

I'm going with Billy on this one - the bracelet doesn't quite look right with the watch, and something about the subdials seems off. On that note, are there Breitling models that have a 12Hr dial, (or 12 month dial if that is what it is), 7 day dial and a 24 hour dial?

That will be a very nice watch.

Everything seems too coarse, garish or imprecise.  Color for the steel is wrong too, seems like aluminum.  Engine turn and printing on sub-dials is way too coarse.  Looks like a cheap copy of a Breitling Bently series.  If it's real, Breitling has lost it.

I would love to see some pics! 
 
I have finally saved up enough to get a decent 'mid- to upper-tier' Swiss watch, and I'm leaning towards a Mark XVI.
 


Here's mine.

Hey there, I did a search for the Opus Eleven and it came up empty so I though I'd post his up.

Pretty neat.

btw Rolex last month had its first price increase for 2011. My white Milgauss I bought less then 7 months ago at a retail at $6.600 is now $7150. If you buy from an AD now with the same discount I got you would still pay more for the watch itself without the tax included, even with the tax i paid you're still paying $50 mre for just the watch today. That is crazy!

I told my dad about Rolex's price increases when I gave him his birthday watch last year, and he laughed and told me I was loony - till he walked into the same AD this year to get it cleaned and polished while he was in town and saw their inventory w/pricing and realized I hadn't been joking :D
