A Magnificent Pair
A maginificent pair; sometimes I think I could be happy with just these two watches as they seem to be able to cover almost any situation (dress up or down and weekends)..... and then reality sets in... and I want/need more watches..

A picture of the magnificent pair I took today while playing with new camera. Please let me know what you think. Cheers.

Great set. Your hunger for more pieces won't go away by hanging our here. Prepare for some damage to your bank account.

Great picture......love the Sub but have to admit I'm not a Daytona fan. However, that is indeed a beautiful watch!

Fantastic watches, but where's the watch you wear when you dress up? Or is one of these your dress up watch?

The Daytona with white dial and polished links is quite dressy and I would argue it is more dress/sports than sports/dress so hes got pretty much all the bases covered other than a pure dress watch which if you only have 2 is too limiting. You need 3 then.

Thank! I intend to start taking more pics for TRF - reason in part for new camera (the wife thinks it is because we're going to paris this month...hehe).

Agreed...worried now.

Yes. I have been looking around for something on a strap, but nothing has caught me yet. Maybe an IWC port 7 day, but it is soooo thick.

Yes, but I do agree that a strap watch would be nice to add. Problem is I also want other bracelet watches that are probably higher up on my list of priorities at the moment (two tone GMT, tt yatchmaster.. God the list goes on).
