Parmigiani makes really beautiful watches the only problem I have is that I can't afford to spend more than 5k on a watch anymore

commented on New Baltic? ·

Not sure about the coincidence but both probably cashing in on the holidays.  Both watches will have column wheel chronographs with the Kurono using the Seiko NH38 and the Baltic using the Seagull movement. I am also pretty positive the finishing on the Kurono will be something special but Baltic will not be far behind and with a cheaper price tag. I am betting that both will sell out in minutes. In the long term, the Kurono will probably maintain its value over a longer period of time. The Baltic will be more accessible to those that collect affordable watches

commented on 3 Kurono Tokyo watches were on deck at the Christie's online auction ended today. it is quite interesting that the final prices are in the reverse order of the list prices. Mori was listed at $1700, Grand Akane $3171 and Chrono 2 $4000. Do you know why? ·

The green Mori is probably one of the best green dial watches ever created, the Miyota movement is dependable and reliable but nothing special, it is a Japanese clone of the eta 2824. The watch to me is worth the price originally sold for and maybe a few hundred more but maintaining its high price is how well the brand Kurono remains popular with collectors and if then continues with its current marketing scheme of producing a limited release two times a year in small batches. The watches are no doubt the great quality and produced by the Precision watch company, who makes watches for other independent watchmakers I think Precision has even in the past made watch cases for Grand Seiko. I own the Kurono Toki and it is a beautiful watch the dial color is spectacular and it is right up there with my Rolex, Omega, and Jeager LeCoultre

I'd go with the Zenith and I would not have to think twice.

That is a nice choice to have, I own an Omega SMP 300 Chrono and JLC Master Control Hometime obviously two different types of watches, and I enjoy both watches. If I had to sell one I would sell the Omega because I really dig my JLC, it is more pleasing to the eye and is more accurate.

commented on I think I am a collector now - how about you? ·

I think you need one more Omega with a small second with Arabic numerals of course

commented on Vintage Watch Brands for under $500? What's on Your List? ·
