What time do you wear?

Thanks for the response gentlemen. I'm not sure my watch should cost more than my amps so will pass on the Patek, but will look at the Rado. Hmmm -- there's a topic for another thread: What should the rest of your hobbies cost as a ratio to your core component costs ;-)

Hey Guys, I'm looking for a nice TAG. Can you watch nerds give me some good advice? I love the looks of the TAG watches over any of the half decently priced watches out there. I'm looking to spend around a grand. If you have any recommendations for other types please let me know.

Eric-I have a Kirium its OK but it is the one watch that I have that I don't care for too much, probably because it is quartz, they are available as an automatic and I would strongly advice towards getting it that way as it will have NO value retention if it is quartz. The reason I don't sell mine is it looks OK, and its msrp was $1500(paid 1/3 less though, as should you watches like most jewlery is over priced) and I could sell it for $400 since its quartz. It was the first watch I bought and didn't know any better, but after gazing at an automatic for the last 2 or so years, as one member here claims AM radio hurts his ears, I think watching a quartz watch tick-tick-tick hurts my eyes-those here who are into watches know exactly what I am talking about. I believe the Monaco series are available as automatic's as well, it will cost a little more now but it will be worth it. Check out www.tfta.com he is a member here he sells audio, watches and guitars, they may not have what you want but that is were I would start. also check out www.artoftime.com and www.bgrayjewelers.com those are the best places on the net to buy a watch that I have found.

Hey Tireguy,

That www.artoftime.com site is the best for selection and prices IMO. The others lack website quality and the prices are a little steep! Thanks for the tips, I've been looking for a while for this type of site.

"and then one day you wake to find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun" Quit looking at your watch and listen to the floyd. Timex for work Movado for play.
