#JOTW Show me your Luxury Watches!

[737liz]

This is my Breguet. It's a manual wind with only hours and minutes. I'm thinking of replacing the gold strap for a navy blue leather strap, to mirror the needles. But, it would have to be an after market job as Breguet only offer super shiny crocodile straps for this model, which I'm not keen on.

I am currently wearing my dad‘s vintage Seamaster Omega.

Many years ago, from one if my first professional salaries, I bought my parents a matching set of Omega watches - for mum in ladies‘s size in SS with YG and for dad a gents version in titanium with YG.

When my dad passed several years ago, my mum turned to wear his watch as her main watch while she was mourning. Lately she was ready to change watches and started wearing Cartier Pasha that I got her some years ago. Somehow I felt it would be right to wear this watch instead of letting it lay in a vault. Now my diamond and MOP Rolex is in a vault instead and I wear only this vintage beauty for now.

George is a good guy. Let me check if there is one for sale on watch forums.

George never got back to me; a friend recommended another vendor who they buy preloved watches with boxes and papers. I've called him a few times in December and he hadnt located anything yet.

What should I do next? Any recommendations? The same watches without boxes and papers are still on chrono24.

I really wanted another watchmakers watch with a round face to finish off my high end watch collection.

I just discovered this watch looking at black ceramic watches.
Jaeger-LeCoultre 189LC70
Was this model any good? @Dancing Fire
Help me find an excellent condition one if it's as good as the typical JLC made products.

[Dancing Fire]

Yup that's the one. They said they'll look for options to present to me and see if they can get even new in box or with box and papers. This is an old discontinued model it looks like. Is GAI good enough for authentication though?

Call them and see what kind of discount they'll offer you.

Mixed message from them - last time we spoke they claimed someone had put a deposit down and wanted to buy it. Now I see it available still. No box no papers. Yet they had offered to meet me in NYC. At the time I felt like if someone had put a deposit I didn't want to waste time and money going to NYC. The price they offered was as little less than listed on chrono

Do you know the reputation of this company? What's a reasonable price between a new watch with box and papers that's discontinued versus an excellent condition without box and papers?

Haven't heard anything negative about them on watch forums. New vs a nice pre-owned? TBH?..for the price difference I'd go for a nice pre-owned, b/c even if you had to send the watch to JLC for an overhaul it'll probably cost you about $1K?? and the watch will come back looking brand new.

My main concern is that the pre owned watch MUST not have been shortened because I need every single link for my ham hock wrist.

You can always order extra links from JLC.

I too wear my husband's watches. The older I get, the less inclined I feel to wear my tiny Rolex and Cartier tank. I plan to buy my own larger faced watch this coming March!! Here are my favorites (Panerai, Blanc Pain and Rolex):

1987 Oyster Perpetual datejust 36mm. This was my dads now it is my sons but I have been known to wear it once in a while....do you think it is too big for my wrist?

My loves...<3 <3

We decided to trade in our existing Rolex’s (me: TT SS/RG DateJust 31 with sticks, him: TT SS/YG GMT II with black dial) and gift each other new ones as early wedding presents. This is what we decided on and should have them on our wrists in the next two weeks!

Me: TT SS/RG DateJust 28 w/ Aubergine diamond dial, fluted bezel, and jubilee bracelet. I know the purple won’t go with everything but I fell in love the moment I saw it


Him: SS/WG DateJust 41 w/ Dark Rhodium diamond dial, fluted bezel, and oyster bracelet. This combo really looks outstanding on him... not too formal and not too casual. And I was so happy he decided to get diamonds!

GORGEOUS!Times 2!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

@ILikeShiny Those are gorgeous! Stainless/rosegold is my favorite in Rolex! And I like the size a lot, too. I think it's a size that will stand the test of time and different fads, plus it's a complimentary size to go with your rings! Your FH's watch is perfect, too!

Congrats, I Love your 31mm SS/RG DJ. Beautiful combo!. Beautiful pair of watches!

Gorgeous watches!

 

[BlingDreams]

@missy @diamondseeker2006 @Dancing Fire @redwood66 - Thanks! When they arrive I'll share some photos of them together (and this time they'll both be in-focus! ).

Being a lefty, I typically wear my watch on my right wrist. However, I might have to change my habit . IDJ is making a tweak to my tennis bracelet so once I have that back I'll see how the three of them (watch/bracelet/wedding set) look together.

They're here! We exchanged them last night at our Valentine's dinner even though they're technically wedding presents. I mean, who could wait for these?!!

His: Rolex WG/SS DateJust 41 with Dark Rhodium diamond dial, Oyster bracelet, and fluted bezel
Mine: RG/SS Rolex DateJust 28 with Aubergine diamond dial, Jubilee bracelet, and fluted bezel

Here's how they look together, some close-ups, and the color shades that mine throws . Also one of how it looks with my ring; I love that they compliment each other so well

They’re lovely, I especially like yours with the aubergine face.

Thanks! I’ve never seen one like it before and I expect it won’t be out for long. I’m really loving that a shade of purple (my favorite color) is the 2018 Pantone color of the year... it’s causing lots of items to now be available in purple Good for my heart, bad for my wallet

Woke up this morning to this.
Just picked up my watch from a $1250 servicing (ripoff) yesterday. That aubergine dial is sure pretty. Mine is just champagne tapestry.
