One that does a 100 more things than just tell the time.

Gold sport watch or dress watch?

Sport/casual
A gold OP 36 is probably my dream watch but my budget is more like $6k

Speedmaster's are excellent.
May have to nominate you for poster of the year with your opinions on cars, F1, and watches.

I just wish Omega would cut it off with all the “limited edition” versions. Rolex can’t hold a candle to the Speedmaster (and NASA confirmed it), and yet the Swatch Group goes blitzkrieg on the brand and changes parts to plastic with each generation—and not talking about the hesalite.

The Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. It is *the* sports watch of the '80s. It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
Did Mortimer gift you one for Christmas?

Tag Breitling Panerai IWC


Huh? I’ve been out of the watch game for a while, but no. Never been a movement snob, ETAs are reliable and more easily serviced, but no for those other than Panerai or IWC.

The newest reverse panda they released is awesome, but it’s not cheap. And I don’t believe it’s an LE.

Not a best watch that isn’t a Rolex but good enough for daily wear, Hamilton Khaki.

After buying my wife a 33mm Khaki Field below for Christmas, there are others I’d be okay with.

Maybe something like this Hamilton Khaki Aviation.

I hope she was wearing her white lingerie when you opened the box and you skipped dessert.

I had a 40th anniversary Apollo Speedmaster that my wife gave me and I gave to my son-in-law.

Great, solid watch

Look into Ball also. Great watches, with great history.

I've got a Citizen". that is more accurate than either "Rolex' that I have owned.

I have worn it for about twenty years. No battery changes???
