Thanks all for your posts and help .. I am finally down to THE ONE

It's been a 2 year search for THE ONE WATCH since my 1st intro to the watch-world in Oct 2007 with the Hour Glass Tempus event.

Was initally bewildered (and still is) with so many possible possibilities and options and having to match against a budget so  flirted from brand to brand and models in search of THE ONE.  This is where the post in these forums  helped in the research.

I guess on hindsight other than of course budget, I did not really know what I want.. I could not define what truly appealed to me. I know someone  who knows what he wants - he drives the new Jag, live luxe in a nice house and wears a Zenith, Cyvtos and couple of others and he is more attuned towards cutting edge living and living a private banking type of lifestyle.  That's just not me.

After some soul search and reading "A Gift from the Sea" by wife of Charles Lindhberg, the word Simplicity was the key word for me.  I  defined that I wanted a watch that appealed to me emotionally, classic, timeless [paradox of it] and can be a legacy to passed on to next generation.  I wanted a watch that will stay with me for life which will define me and one that is not too common-place.  I akin some of the Rolexes. Omegas to the LV, Gucci but prefer a Hermes - more exclusive/less mass, hand-crafted , classic which of course means paying more for it.

Back to the million $ question - what is THE ONE?

I have moved from going for a sports piece (Rolex , IWC Chopard MM) to narrowing my options down to JLC , LUC, Dornbluth and I was gunning for Dornbluth almost to the finishing line when I was recommended the Moser RG Mayu and looking through the past posts and based on the technical specs, looks ..  I made up my mind that this is THE ONE.  I have to of course double my budget (listed out 10 reasons for my wifee .. she's the CFO). 

Will update this post and share more when  I have the watch in hand.
