Thanks for posting this - just put in an order for a a few with some co-workers
I was wondering what that was
If I may, if you already own 3 Omega watches, I don't see any Stowa model worth some of your wrist time... But a nice Nomos on the other hand...
Apologies, I surely did not want to assume anything.
That said, a second hand IWC Flieger with box and paper is around $3k (probably not too far away from the SMP). Yep, it's 3 times as much as a Stowa , but worth it in my mind
Apologies again, and tell us what you choose at the end!

Still, stay tuned for the obligatory wrist pic in the next few months.
Congrats!Exciting times!!!
Ok, this is with great joy that I just discovered this morning that I will have a son next January!
As my (too excited) mom already accumulated mountains of clothes and baby stuff for the future - yeah, even if she did not know the sex until today - and we have saved up for this with Miss Sushiman for a long time, we should be covered financially. So, I thought, why not look for a nice heirloom piece to buy this end of year? We have a tradition in the family to reward a big achievement in studies, and a fine wristwatch would be perfect.
I've been saving since the acquisition of my Glashutte Original PML in March on a side 'wristwatch' account, so the hunt can begin
I am 95% sure to shoot for a AP Royal Oak 15300st with the sapphire case back and blue dial, second hand as the model is discontinued.
I chose this particular model for: its versatility, polish-able SS case and bracelet, history, timeless design that could work for a 20-25 guy, and its proven lasting value.
If you guys have seen something, or have any (other?) suggestion, don't hesitate to tell
And a few internet pics just for the sake of it
Exciting times!!!

Also I'm a huge fan of the Grand Seiko GMT on a creme dial. With the current price of the yen, you could get two and stick one in the closet to hand over 25 years from now as NOS while you keep yours (and pay 2x servicing costs to keep the oil fresh in the meantime). You could start him on Seiko 5's when he's 7-8, move up to normal Seikos at 13, switch to JDM Seikos at college, then hand over the real deal when the time is right.
. I agree the GS GMT creme is a delightful piece, but the design is just bit too conventional, and, while I had the chance to try on some FPJourne, Moser and Richard Mille, I have to admit I have yet to try a GS on my wrist, which is why I did not consider it...Also -- I really want to suggest the most expensive ETA-based watch possible. Maybe some sort of solid gold panerai.
Félicitations, GalacticSushiman, ainsi qu'à Madame!
A chronograph, maybe? A Navitimer 01 or a good ol' Daytona (116520).
I have to admit that I really don't understand the love for the RO (and AP, in general). Aesthetically incoherent and overpriced, IMO.
A lovely watch. Here's mine, with some of its Seiko friends :
) feeling (angular VS smooth), I actually had the exact same one when I was first exposed to the APRO, but it just grows on you indefinitely... And now I am the biggest fan!), fantastic screwed down crown with a very smooth winding, crazy case back with the engraving and finishing, and just the right weight on my wrist... If you add to this the fact it's practically new (worn twice), still under warranty for 2 years , and includes everything (I even know the original AD personally), and that finally the price was better than anything on ebay/chrono24: this was just too much for me to resist... So:
congrats on both the new family member and the heirloom to pass down ��Merci beaucoup !
I have to admit I am REALLY not into Breitling at all, but the Daytona, while a bit pedestrian, is a great classic. And I totally get your 'inconsistent design' (incohérent est un faux ami
Well, to be perfectly honest this is already too late:
I am just back from my local second hand dealer and he had a VCO and an APRO (his first 15300st in stock for more than a year), the VC was just a bit too big, when the APRO just blew my mind on wrist.
Perfect size for my tiny wrist, perfect and super practical clasp, mind blowing bracelet (despite my hairy wrist
