looking to buy an exceptional watch (rolex included)
Hi,

i just purchased a platty yachtmaster, so now my collection is a 14060m sub i wear on the weekends, a pepsi gmt that i wear mostlly on weekdays with jeans and a t shirt, if the day calls for a more dressy situation i wear my jlc master compressor chrono and now the platty for dressy casual weekday and weekend stuff. thats sort of the way i wear my watches but i do wear the jlc with shorts and a t shirt and i do wear the sub with a suit.

now i am looking to buy an exceptional time piece. has to be of a precious metal, prefereablly rose gold, no precious stones, it can have rubber. i am 30, so i want to be able to wear it with shorts and a t shirt but it doesnt have to go particulary well with a suit, since i rarelly wear them. also it can be in the 30-40k range. rolex is included and very welcome.

The Rubber bezel is what I love about that one...
I would be able to wear it and not have it look beaten in no time.

I wish I could get a AP ROO Diver with a Rubber Bezel!!!

Thomas, which model is that? Is it 70k or 50k? I think I saw that once in my AD for list price 50k. I may be mistaken from the quick look though.

Dickson it is 70's and is the Arnold All Stars Limited....Definitely not $50's!! But since we are looking that high- I would go for a RG Montoya myself!! That is one hot watch!!

Why is the gold ap chrono worth double the patek? I mean yeah its gottta have more goold, but patek has moonface. The ap could be priced 10, even 20 grand higher, but 40?? Thats too much and id rather have a nice patek complication than more ap gold for twice the price

i was taking a closer look at the jlc and noticed that the hour dial is on the left side, seems a bit uncomfortable to look at the time. also saw a video of the dual chronos at work and wowwwww, thats something i could see all day long.

love the a. lange & sohne but it looks a lot like my ultimate grail, the patek chrono

It is a technology breakthrough in horology sense for that movement. I had watched a couple of times myself to be frank!
