Two wristwatches. Which one looks better?

jimmy330xi · 09-13-2008, 08:07 PM

The first one, looks more simple and classic, the second one looks overdone in a way.

2nd for sure! It looks like my Baume & Mercier watch

I335 · 09-14-2008, 12:46 AM

2nd

Should have used the Poll function. And I like number one for a daily.

stimpy · 09-14-2008, 04:27 AM

They don't look anything like a $1300 dollar watch... I'd keep shopping.

mkaaes · 09-14-2008, 04:55 AM

Keep looking...Longines, Cartier, Monte Blanc, IWC, Zenith

SoYank · 09-14-2008, 06:59 AM

If you're Arabic, the first one. If you're from central Italy, the second. And why is the third hand on a watch called the second hand?

The_Blob · 09-15-2008, 12:17 AM

I think I'll get the second watch, it still has a lot of history as it was first introduced in the 1930's.

It's like an affordable Lange & Söhne ANNIVERSARY LANGEMATIK in platinum.

The watch I'm going to get has about the same exterior craftmanship and fit and finish as the German made Lange & Söhn which cost $24,000. However, the Lange & Söhne watch is an automatic and not hand wound, which is a plus.

Very nice looking watch, the numbers are a personal preference. I like the first one but that is me. These look VERY similar to the Stowa Marine Original which is around that same price range and are GREAT German watches.

im sure the craftsmanship may be top notch but id invest that 1300 in something else or in another watch. that price range can get you a much better watch than that
