I am getting the itch, however I am sure what I want. Any advice?

Dan Pierce · 21 February 2010, 03:51 AM

New or vintage?
dP

datejust1 · 21 February 2010, 03:53 AM

If it something New... I'd wait for Basel...

esm · 21 February 2010, 03:54 AM

since you know what you want.... so what does your head and heart tell you?

;-)

isnt this a nice problem to have? ;-)

ASH · 21 February 2010, 04:01 AM

I have always wanted a DD, however I'm not sure how much I would wear it as I tend to lean toward sport watches.

Esexx · 21 February 2010, 04:11 AM

What about a Vacheron Constain’s Tour de l’lle? Sweet watch and I bet no one in your neighborhood has one.

HL65 · 21 February 2010, 04:17 AM

Lol!!

You have a sweet collection.

How about a SS GMT IIC.....

ASH · 21 February 2010, 04:49 AM

Well I like stuff that you don't see everyday, but I favor the Rolex and Panerai brands.

ASH · 21 February 2010, 04:51 AM

Well I think I'm headding down to the old AD to browsae and get some ideas. Wish me Luck.

HL65 · 21 February 2010, 04:55 AM

How about an AP ROO Rubberclad?? Different--rarely see them on people and have a unique style --one of the best made watches as well.

zlin08033 · 21 February 2010, 04:57 AM

PAM 339, maybe?

Prince Tudor · 21 February 2010, 04:59 AM

What about an IWC? Maybe an Aquatimer or some other sport model?
I was going to suggest an Omega Speedmaster Pro-Moon but noticed you said you like stuff that you don't see all the time.
Good luck on your hunt, it's half the fun!

Best of Luck, Buddy!!

ersnyder · 21 February 2010, 06:02 AM

For Rolex, I highly recommend the Exp II.

If you do a PAM, how about a 90?

How about another Pam? You can customize it with an aftermarket strap like from Rob Montana (thestrapsmith) which will be very unique.

bradg · 21 February 2010, 08:16 AM

Go Rolex EXPII

esm · 21 February 2010, 08:47 AM

dare I say - a Rado! You certainly won't see many on this side of the fence ;-)

Okay in all seriousness.... How about a JLC or Patek of some sort? Richard Millie is pretty rare in the wild too :-)

mfer · 21 February 2010, 08:51 AM

IWC Aquatimer!!!!!!

Sapphire Bezel

Great presence.

White or black dial.

Fiery · 21 February 2010, 08:52 AM

I have 5 tips for you:

1) Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
2) Breguet Type XXI
3) Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish
4) Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
5) Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time

If money is no concern, I'd get the Overseas.

I'm not sure what viable options are there for you if you wanna stick to Rolex and Panerai. Maybe it'd be best to at least try the available options from other brands, and see if any of them "speaks" to you.

ASH · 21 February 2010, 09:50 AM

First of all thank all of you so much for the advice, I am leaning toward the PAM 292 or the AP ROO both of these are very different from my collection. While at the AD I saw a Corum Black Hull LTD edition, nice but not my cup of tea. He still has the Omega PloProf 1200m that I took back earlier in the year. I really like the JLC Master Compressor Diving chrono in pink gold, however that is alittle further out there in price.

Like JLC brand alot

esm · 21 February 2010, 09:54 AM

AP ROO is a nice choice. I have a soft spot for the Volcano... I love it but pitty it is too large for me.

Hey thanks. The IIc looks took close to my DSSD.
BTW you have a DRSD? Wow that is sweet!

snow_rocks · 21 February 2010, 10:00 AM

Scott, check out a 24 hour watch. Just google 24 hour watch, or

Speaking of vintage Dan I have an offer on a vintage SD I can't remember the seral maybe 6 million, however I saw at my watchmaker's shop and it was real clean and all original.
