You raise a very good question
And one that I have often asked myself. Whilst I will not contemplate spending more than a certain amount on a watch, that amount keeps increasing over time and, if I hadn’t bought the watches that I have, I could instead have bought one absolutely incredible watch.
What is best? I suspect there is no answer because, in time, there are always other watches to tempt us! Enjoy your PLM, it is a real beauty for sure.
Another Day In Limbo
Yesterday I was sitting in the garden on a glorius spring day: blue skies, cotton wool clouds, gentle breeze and just about warm enough, smoking a fine cigar, looking at my watches and thinking about how lucky we all are. On a whim I decided to take some ...
A man who knows what he wants! And got there!
Thanks for sharing your watch journey with us!
Sometimes I know what I want
and sometimes I think I know what I want but later find out I was wrong! But these four give me deep satisfaction. Kind regards Antony
Thank you.
Each to his own, and these are my own. I am pleased that you also like the DR. Kind regards, Antony
The Beaten Path
appeals to many for sound financial reasons. On the other hand I have followed my instincts, I am pleased that you like the DR and the Steel Wings. Kind regards, Antony
It is a grail watch, indeed...
...and I agree that the Roth is a fantastic watch. I have always loved 'different' case shapes and Roth had one of the best along with the Dubuis Sympathie. One reason why I regard the Patek 5020 so highly...now if only I could find some $ in my couch cus...
I am pleased that you share my tastes.
We all need the dosh,, it's hard to make and easy to spend. Kind regards Antony
The good news is that Roth...
...is under-appreciated and therefore reasonably affordable as far as these things go. I can swing a Roth or two...the 5020 not so much.
I agree,
looked at dispassionately Daniel Roth was the equal of any but somehow the reputation isn't where it ought to be. A friend bought an exquisite two dial chrono so cheaply that I thought he was joking,, but it was true. In every respect a huge amount of wat...
You just can't imagine how many
and how diverse they were. But in the end I am pleased with what I have, thanks for liking them. I suspect that my losses on resale/PX would have bought the Lange & Sohne by themselves. Ah well!! No use worrying about my past mistakes and search for trans...
That's a beautiful Lange, Antony!
Thanks for sharing your collection with us, I've very much enjoyed your posts on your watch journey over the years. Want to take a trip down memory lane? Remember this old bad boy? You sold me your De Bethune DB22 in June of 2010. I had to twist your arm ...
I remember it!
And that's not bad at my age. It is a beautiful watch and I am pleased that you still love it. You've enjoyed my journey? Thanks. It has had many pleasures but the lingering lesson to me was my impulsiveness when I should have cooled my heels and thought,...
You know, I think our watch journey is a good metaphor for our life journey
No-one has a perfectly upward trajectory on either watches or life, LOL. It’s the foibles and missteps and impulse buys that add color and character to the ride. Sounds like you’ve landed at a great destination, and it was only the route you took that got...
Sorry for my late response
somehow I missed your posting. There is no doubt that whatever journey you went on it resulted in where you are today. Given the myriad of stupid mistakes I have made in life as well as watches I conclude that I have been extraordinairily lucky to end up ...
I personally love Daniel Roth watches!
As you correctly stated, terribly undervalued and I may be about to venture into an new old stock piece that I have managed to locate Enjoy that cigar and the British spring!
What else could I have expected
from a gentleman of your taste and refinement? I am pleased that you share my taste. Please tell me which one you are looking at,,,by PM or email. Today is another perfect spring day and I am about to light up a Trinidad! Stay well Kindest regards to you ...
Yes that is elegant
but it is the large size. I prefer the medium size version. You know me and small watches
It is, at the moment
I have all the time in the world to gaze at these beautiful watches,,, and it is a lovely day. This always a bright side! Stay well, Kind regards Antony
