what are the forum's views on richard mille and urwerk.

just came across these brands now and they seem to have become very popular.

views?

very cool and quite intricate pieces for sure....for me personally, id never buy one. way too eccentric for my tastes. id pick a RM over an urwerk, but i wouldn't pay for one. too many things id pick over em.

thanks TC! most everyone hates the camo del toros.

Love 'em. I recently ordered DTs in a couple different colors and unfortunately they just don't work with my build--wayyyy dainty on me. LOL

this.

they make a lot of mechanical marvels, but the aesthetics do not appeal to me in the least for the vast majority of their models.

Dammit you're making me want to give it another try. My wife saw me wearing the burgundy ones in the house and laughed her ass off so I sent them all back. Sorry for the OT, it seems like we have similar taste--do you have any suggestions for a more substantial/masculine casual slip on, like for denim/chinos with a hoodie?

Derek can get exotic with his Pannys, since he's owned one of each already



Re: Urwerk and the like, I am personally not that attracted to those type of watches.

I'm glad they are out there, and I do think the industry needs brands like that-- the innovative people to push the envelope with designs and materials, etc...but for where I am as a watch appreciator right now, they're just not for me.

And that's not meant to be a 'dis' at all.

The Richard Mille stuff where he has Rafa wearing one of his pieces (a tourby?) during a grand slam tournament ... really impressive as a technical achievement.

But I'm just not playing at that level, tennis or otherwise LOL.

dude, they're velvet slippers. you're gonna get some laughs hahahahaha. personally i think you should kop a pair again.

if you wanna go full baller, pick up the lobb deck shoes too. as much as i love sperrys, they're quite ubiquitous.

i HATE tags....but this is ******* stellar. absolutely love this watch

 

[RogerP]

The Monaco is all kinds of sweet. I don't hate TAGs at all, but I find their throwback stuff like this one a lot more appealing.
