Wow, nice watches on here.
Here is my daily wear: A custom Tag Monaco Calibre 12, only one they made with a metal band (From a Monaco LS) Wife just pointed out the face will be nearly the same colour as our car (LeMans Blue) |

Thanks! I really like it. I am not a fan of leather bands, and was lucky enough that they were able to do this. The band from the LS is really nice and matched the regular Monaco perfectly. How it should have been made IMHO. I also like the micro-adjustment of the band as well. Being a mechanic means my wrists can drastically change size depending on the work being done that day.

Depends on your market. In NA, larger watches are more en vogue right now, so they command a slight premium. In Europe, they still prefer the smaller faces, so not as much. Same situation as 328i resale vs 335i resale. Depends on your market.

I remember I bought my first decent watch, the Breitling Blackbird, in 1999 for 2800.00....that was a ton of money at the time...now same style of Breitling watch sells for 4-6k!...inflation sucks
On a side note, you guys need to be super careful when buying a watch off of eBay...I bought a JLC master compressor diving chrono awhile back in "excellent" condition and it was so scratched and abused that I sent it back to JLC factory for repair and they wanted 6000.00 to fix it all...they wanted 2800.00 just to replace the bezel! I will never buy from a individual off of eBay ever again...Timezone is more reliable IMHO. |

don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good 45 every now and again, but generally most of my watches are around that 40-42 mark. If you like flashy watches, always go 44 or higher.... A lot of chronos will be 44-45mm as well. |
