     Fiance has one of the manual Max Bill models. QUite nice - I like the aesthetic a lot! Movements tend to be rather standard - and as such fairly reliable. Not sure what they are currently using though - so investigate that. Resale value is a bit more problematic - you do pay a bit of a...

     Check out Nomos - great inhouse movements, and rather different than a lot of other watches.

     Rub them together very vigorously and hope they produce an offspring to your liking?

    Knowing that our hobby isn't necessarily driven by usefulness or function - what are your thoughts on "smart watches"? Pebble released one recently that does not look like a terrible gaudily painted accesory from Galaxy Quest - the Pebble Steel. I am almost inclined to try it out: It doesn't...

     A boss of mine once gave me the advice to mark major career and life changes with a major lasting purchase - promotions, marriage, etc. I like that idea - one thing to mark another, and you will forever remember this business win when you look down on your wrist. Now, which watch will you...

    Long time no see, you twats Just got an email from Fellows - so decided to check out the auction. For us non-mega-ballers, there's some great stuff, especially saw a JLC Lyre Perpetual Calendar in YG going for not too much. Check it out...

     Exactly - brown with brown, but no need to match exact tone. With T-shirt and jeans a brown rally would look fantastic. Personally I would find croc a bit too much in cases like that.

     I have it on a a brown dress calf with contrast stitching. - never wearing black shoes a black strap would have been strange.

     And here I thought Fossil was a mass-market mall fashion "designer brand"... ...unless with "designer brands" you mean the like of Michael Kors or Calvin Klein. Though I fail to see the difference between Fossil and "designer brands" in that case. For $200 and mechanical you would likely...

    Wurger - that is a fantastic piece. The combination of the modernist date font and bar hour markers makes it look somewhat Bauhausian in a Stowa Antea or Max Bill Junghans kind of way, and adding the moonphase makes it nicely whimsical. If only there was a smiling face on the moon!

    Used to not feel the reverso. Actively disliked it, as a matter of fact. Having read up on its history and seen some very nice ones with one or two complications in the flesh, one might eventually be in the stores for me somewhere down the line.

    Been a bit behind on my TAWTting, and had a good 40 pages to catch up on. Good stuff everybody - very interesting discussions. Came across something rather interesting - a tactile watch. Granted, it is a quartz movement, but otherwise actually rather interesting. What are your thoughts...

     I consistently see the best prices on Nomos etc from German dealers at Chrono24, so potentially yes.
