The IWC Portugeuse is a nice one!
A few years ago they came out with the Portuguese Yacht Club. I tried one on, and the skies parted and the angels sang.
It's an amazing piece but, fiscally, not for the feint of heart...

About 15 years ago I saw an IWC Portugeuser on a billboard in Austria, and fell in love. I finally got my grail watch last year by convincing my wife that it was just the perfect classic to be handed down to our new, first, grandchild since all of my other watches have been promised to my son.

I like vintage watches. I have several old Bulovas. Some autowind and some manual. All still keep good time. I also have a Wittenauer from the mid 50's. Also an autowind and keeps very good time.

I'm amazed at what old Accutron watches are selling for. I've got a a 14K gold one in my drawer that just needs a battery. It was my wedding present. I'd be curious to know what it would be worth.

I have several watches in my collection from Rolexes, Tudors, Invictas, and many different Chinese watches. Since I just moved, I haven't unpacked my watch collection. I prefer the older analog watched- the newer ones that require batteries just don't seem to impress me.

I made .25/hr. as a scorekeeper in our summer baseball program when I was 14. I made enough to buy a nice Bulova watch.

We have any watch guys here?
I've been into watches for a while, both "high end" and more consumer grade stuff. On the higher dollar, I've owned Breitling, Rolex, Ball, Oris, Tissot and Omega. Consumer-grade stuff includes Citizen, Seiko, Invicta, and Zeno. I've also just added a Deep Blue which should be here Wednesday or Thursday.
Anyone else into watches? Let's see what ya' got!

I am also a watch lover. I have Breitling, Corum, Tag Heuer, Jaques Lemans. a couple of Invictas (my every day watches), Omega, and Movado. I want a Breguet Tourbillion, but I don't have a spare 300 grand lying about. A Patek Phillipe minute repeater wouldn't be bad either. I think thats called WAS (watch aquisition syndrome) When we were burglarized my wife lost a lot of her mothers jewelery and I lost a few watches. It still bothers us when we remember.

The Breguet Tourbillion is magnificent, but I would settle for anything from Breguet, I just need a lot more money and permission from my wife (perhaps another grandchild).I am also a watch lover.

Actually I could get the Tourbillion if I would just be willing to do without a few things. Food,shelter,clothing,wife etc
