Which watches have caused you to gasp?

It is probably a compulsion that many of us have...but I just can't walk past a window display or a watch retailer without stopping, and most times going in...

There are alot of REALLY nice watches out there...and every time I look, I see something new, and discover a new brand, or a new model...

but only rarely will a watch take my breath away...

here are my three so far..

1. Blue TT submariner (that one I had to buy)

2. The new IWC da vinci with tonneau gold case

3. Brietling for bently with rose gold grilled bezel chocolate dial and brown gator skin strap....

how 'bout the rest of you?
hoping to discover a few more watches out there...
Rolex models definitely allowed...

JJ,

What color is the dial on that Beautiful GOLD YM? Almost looks like rootbeer from the angle, or is it Blue? Or maybe black MOP?

Hi Steve,

Technically, that's called the BLACK TAHITIAN MOP dial. But it does appear brown in certain angles. Seen it in person at Mansor's....very, very beautiful indeed.....and also very expensive.

The Urwerks are pretty wild looking. They'd get lots of comments (and gasps) I bet. Wonder how fast you get burned out on them though. Kind of like the UN Freak:

Thanks, Terry. If you haven't guessed it by now, I'm a sucker for complications. That's one reason I so enjoyed seeing your RGM.
