Do you ever "like" a watch you wouldn't want for yourself?
Each day we are given the opportunity to "like" the watches our fellow watch talk members choose to display on their wrists. The styles, sizes, and color combinations as well as number of complications can be staggering. I will admit there are times when I will click on the "like" button for a watch I would not wear on my own wrist. Various reasons come to mind. I'm not a big fan of Roman numerals but some watches I like. Solid gold cases are not for me, but I can still like a good looking gold watch. 50mm watches are definitely not for me but some I like seeing. So do you some times find you "like" some watches even though you wouldn't want them in your collection? What do you "like" but wouldn't own?

Breitling Kawasaki Cafe Racer
Hi Guys, thought you may find this interesting. BTW, Bike EXIF is great (no affiliation) Kawasaki Z1000 cafe racerPosted: 22 Jun 2010 10:30 AM PDTIn the 70s and 80s, Georges Martin was one of Europe¡¯s most prolific frame and component manufacturers. Based in Les Sables-d¡¯Olonne, a picturesque seaside town in western France, he built almost 6,000 frames for custom and racing motorcycles. He¡¯s still an iconic figure on the continental scene, and this new caf¨¦ racer is a tribute to his skills. It was built by Alan Bernard of Santiago Chopper in Tampa, Florida, using an original 70s Martin frame. Back in the day, Martin-framed bikes were usually powered by uprated Kawasaki, Honda or Suzuki engines, and Bernard has stayed true to from by choosing a Kawasaki Z1000 motor. The front end, swingarm and 17¡± wheels are from a 2007 Suzuki GSX-R, while the seat is a Benelli item. Bernard has replicated the squared-off, chunky look of an original Martin tank, but the Breitling-themed paint is a dis

The Patek section also needs its own dedicated thread with celebs and other well known characters wearing Pateks.Starting off we have Mario Draghi, aka Super Mario, President of the European Central Bank.It's quite difficult to see but Mario's watch is either YG or RG, so I reckon it's a 5127 - being Italian and an ex Goldman Sachs MD, he'd only wear the ultimate dress watch which is a Calatrava

First Panerai - Questions
Hey guys!Been a Rolex fan and owner for many years but I'm feeling the itch to diversify alittle. Pam has always been on my radar but I'm pretty dumbfounded by all the different refernces etc so here's my question.I'm a pretty big flipper, I usually buy and sell constantly I don't really fall in love with any piece for too long and I'm constantly switching. I'm thinking of a PAM 086 (love the dial) but I'm scared of resale later since I'm so new to the brand. In your expirence if there any specific panerais that are constantly more desirable than others or is it really just whatever is hot at the moment?Thanks
