You tell me.... I'm not enough of an expert to identify a tourbillon movement.

Yup, I didn't mean Labcoat's was a tourbillon.

Anyway... I wonder what brand they tried to rip off. The hands look something like Breguet's.

i know...my post was of a similar humorous tone. you can't get a tourbi for less than 10 grand. and it's really actually ineffective in comparison to a modern movement.

^ Rose gold isn't exactly to my tastes but that's a nice looking watch. I was looking at a Navitimer, blue on blue, a few years ago but I went for the Seamaster since I figured my only nice watch should be a sportier one.

I'm glad this thread is bumped though. My new watch should be here in just under a month. Too excited... images/smilies/w00t.gif

Nice, but breitlings are typically a little too garish for my tastes.

^ You guys spend a lot of money on watches. As much as I like watches, if I had a few grand laying around I wouldn't go spend it on one.

Same. I've been using my cellphone since my last watch broke. Then I got a new watch for Christmas *cough*'05*cough*, which I haven't worn because it's too big and needs a link taken out. I'm lazy.

I think people who buy 'fine' watches are either so rich they don't care, or their watch hobbyists. I'm personally the latter... some people mod their car for a few grand, I get a new watch for a few grand.
