Congrats - killer watch!

commented on Best Nautilus/Royal Oak Alternatives? ·

I dislike the Nautilus, prefer the Aquanaut. Royal Oak is cool but kinda played out imo.

Cartier santos, oysterquartz and the Alpine Eagle are good alternatives. Affordable are the twelve, Brew and Autodromo.

But they each have their own branding and style so much that none of these are really substitutes.

I can’t believe they didn’t put the adjustment system that’s in the Mark XX in the Ingenieur. Come on IWC…

commented on Your Fav Microbrand? ·

Serica, Lorier Farer, Fears (more pricey)

commented on If you have the money, what's the one most expensive watch you would buy? ·

Not really comfortable wearing watches over the $10k range. VC, JLC and Lange sure make some nice pieces though…at the AD some VC particularly blew me way this weekend.

Which one?

One is no nonsense, and one is…well some lovable nonsense (cool dial, nato, LE save the ocean) but $400-500 more expensive.
