Design vs content
While looking more and more at watches and considering a possible buy in the mid range 2000/3000 US$ price rank I come to a sad conclusion. I'd like to ask you whether it is me or do some of you, with much deeper knowledge of horology, also share this idea.The conclusion is that there are those who can make fine watches but don't care about design and those who sell nice designs but seem to be unable to offer anything but a relatively plain ETA at incredible high price.Seiko or Orient have many beautiful designs in the 200 US$ rank and have great movements which put in just a few designs. For example the Premier and its 6R20 I asked about a week ago is still my number one option but it leaves little options as far as designs, it is available in just a few versions which I don't dislike but which are not the best even of what Seiko can do.Then there are Rado, Movado, Sinn and many many others who can handle HardMetal, Ceramic, Tegiment tech and whatever ultra hard material just to put

Impulse purchase at AP boutique
Was at the AP boutique this evening just browsing. Then the very kind lady helping me brought out this one. I put it on and knew right away it's what I was looking for! Very pleased with it.

Is there a Panerai you are waiting for????
One that doesn't exist I mean....yet. I'm hopeful that they'll make some more 232/249 style cases or do more variations of the 610/609. Basically, I like the thinner, lower profile Radiomirs in 45 or 47mm. I love the 424/449 but the case proportions just don't make me buy it. I don't know, it just is to curvy if that makes sense. If they would do a SLC in a thinner radiomir case, I'd have to get. Put that 8 day movement in there and it would be even better.I would also like a 657 in a Radiomir case with maybe a flat dial. That would make an awesome daily. Auto, Date, GMT.Also, why not a white Radiomir......Can't get enough.Alas, I'll be waiting for some time.What about you guys?

Choices Choices Choices!?!?!?
Looking at my first Rolex purchase for the 30th bday and have it narrowed down to 3. - Pre-Owned 16610 Sub, complete kit, 2006 model- 6200- Pre-Owned gmt master 116710, complete kit- 7200- new SubC no date from AD- 7500 No tax on any of these since out of state. 7500 is tip of the budget. Any advice is appreciated!
