Steve

I had better just whisper about my 3 Bell & Ross ltd's
Blue ( Br03-94),
Orange & carbon (Br01-94),
Phantom (Br01-94)

Then theres my:
Hublot Big Bang,
Panerai Power reserve
IWC
Tag Heuer Monaco (blue face) (lost in the house somewhere)
Tag Heuer S.E.L (21st birthday present, & the one that started all this)
Tag Heuer Kirium
Omega Seamaster

Mrs P has a smaller B&R & 2 lovely Rolex Datejust

But the Bell & Ross's get the most peculiar looks off folks
They Is huge and heavy

...And fooking gorgeous IMO.

Wow, your list reads like my wish list at the moment - especially the IWC schauffausen!

My local watch shop has a Zenith Defy Extreme in there at the moment, down from £16k to 8k :shock: :shock:

Worth buying to sell on, I think?


And avoid these people at all costs or you'll be skint forever

I did look at the normal suspect a few years ago

Found out most drop time which kind of made me re-think the whole thing

2k watch out classed by a £5 casio ... just did not seem right !!

Yeah,
The Zenith Defy Extreme is on my "one day " list! :roll:
I did try one on once, was awfully tempting, but I would have had to shift on a couple of current ones
It's nice having a few "different" watches, keeps the guys at work quiet too
But as i keep reminding them, everyone has their "thing" ,
Some folk spend a fortune on Hi-Fi eqpt , or fishing gear, My dad has a collection of shotguns that would make your eyes water (if you knew the costs).

I like a wee nosey around:
www.jurawatches.co.uk
They have some of the less well known, leftfield kinda brands

Yeah:
Cars
Watches
Cameras
Bikes
blah
blah blah.... the list (for me) is almost infinite! lol.

Got to agree with you about jurawatches. I had to remove it from my bookmarks - :evil:

I've always wanted one of these ever since I saw them in Marcus. At the time they said the only people buying them were fathers as a gift to their sons...I suppose that says more about Marcus than the watch though

I'd like to add a 1133G model Heuer Monaco to my small collection if anyone is selling. Grey face with black subdials please. I love the pre TAG watches and also like the Early 70's Longines too- must be the motor racing fan in me.
I bought a TAG Monaco V4 a few years back but didn't really love it enough and sold it on. Crazy looking watch.

I've been watching that one but there are a few mysteries with it. Firstly it has an extra digit in the model number- its a 74033 series but is stamped 740303. Its a nice watch but the rarest of rare holy grail of Monaco's is the PVD coated version of this 740 series with the all black face. This one is a end of the line model from around 74-75- very similar to the classic 1133G that I want but with manual winding; I'd much prefer the automatic.
Nice but not quite right
