When Did You Last?

When did you last try another watch on (Non Rolex) that made you smile as much as your current Rollie.
Although I have casualy looked at others nothing has made me want to try them on, but what about you guys?

Last time was when I tried on an Omega GMT 300 M. Very nice watch, indeed!

I am considering getting one of those.

I tried on a big 'ol Panerai the other day. Pretty sleek and BIG. It was very nice. No Rolex, but very nice. maybe as a back-up, for a little variety.

When I tried on my new Longines Master Chrono. I am in love with this watch. A lot of bang for the buck.

I'm pretty fond of these three. They see more wrist time than my Sub.

I've been eyeballing an Aqua Terra and SMP Chrono pretty hard myself, but, for now, I only have eyes for my GMT IIc. Those two will have to wait a while.

Last nice watch was a Panerai, and I bought it. But since then nothing has topped my TT GMT!


...except that solid gold blue faced sub, mmmmm.

I go back and forth on dress and sport

This was the watch of the year and I'd love to get one.

VC is an awesome company. Since buying my Overseas I've gotten a number of presents from them. A wallet, business card holder, and just yesterday a Saturday FedEx delivery of a box of fine swiss chocolates and a personally signed Christmas card from the CEO of VC USA. So yes, it has me smiling as much as my GMT-IIC or Daytona.
