Beauty & Style Wrist Watch lovers

Had a glance through the window of the Hublot store in Hong Kong last month. Can confirm, ugliest watches on the planet.

Take that back.

I saw an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time in Stainless Steel with a blue dial and a blue leather band in a store earlier today.

Want. Badly.

You need a good watch if you want to have a good time.

Tried dropping enough hints to the misses for this watch.

Picked this up today to add to the collection. Really loving it.

A great dream nevertheless

Well then

These watches are still available ... I have the HKED version also known as the ED1963 version

The guy (user name HKED) is a trusted and respected member on watchuseek forum.
In my opinion he makes the best version in conjunction with his chinese partners.
I have the cream dial with gold hands which is the closest to the original 1963 watch .
He is reliable and safe to order from.
Just send an enquiry to Ed at etse249@gmail.com re the 1963 Chinese Airforce watch and he will send pics of available models,prices and postage cost.
See this huge post on watchuseek and there is nothing you won't know about this watch by the end of it.

My advice is to work back from the last post as the thread originally started in 2013 and has 121 pages.

Yes it's an excellent watch for the price ..and one of the few brand new watches I own, as I generally prefer vintage.
Although it does have an excellent vintage vibe.
Which version did you get ?

I bought the Carpenter Brooklyn M2 in September. Carpenter began as a kickstarter campaign and each of the original three designs (M1, M2 and M3) was of a limited run of 175. Those editions are now sold out. A fourth design (M4) was released as a run of 50 watches.

How much did that set you back?

It's a mining down turn, so I shouldn't be thinking of a new watch. But the temptation is too great

I love this. The blue hands gives a casual feel but retains elegance

 

[HARKER]

Nice watch but why is the band brown?

Just doesn't work for me. Charcoal would have been better.

Yep, I was after something that was dressy enough for work but could easily wear out in the evenings too. Also wanted a white face watch with a brown leather strap so ticked that box too.

I think it works well with the white face and blue hands personally. It is more of a darkish chocolate brown.

It looks nice but it's just been a little overdone.

Maybe Charcoal with Navy stitching wouldn't look so good, but would be nice to see some subtle changes.

Nice purchase, so enjoy.

Nice watch, but more of a daytime than evening piece. Brown leather after sunset is a bit of a faux pas.

Thought I'd give that a go (it's all I can afford ) and it wouldn't install after I paid the US$1.42 (ish) so I got a refund.
