What time do you wear?

Thorton – The misquotation thing is starting to render this thread a bit juvenile, but OK, I’ll bite one final time.

I didn’t say ACCURACY was the ONLY thing that makes up value – check again - one last time –“I said my opinion was that PERFORMANCE should be the ultimate goal of a premium piece of hardware”. THAT’S MY OPINION – stated three times now. If your’s is different that’s OK, but I have a reasonable right to express my opinion OK? Gheeesh.

I define performance (again) as the fact that the thing has multiple other functions that are useful on a weekly, if not daily basis, being extremely light because of its titanium case/band, having a compact size, with back lighting making it fine for night use, immediately adjustable function displays, 100 meter depth, and being extraordinarily accurate making for a very HIGH PERFORMANCE, all around highly desireable piece FOR ME. OK? FOR ME.

You want something else – go get ‘em tiger – it’s your money and your opinion -we all have them as the saying goes, and no ones is necessarily correct.

Hey, everyone! Be nice.

What is your opinion on Baume and Mercier? I am planning to purchase one but I get the feeling that they are frowned upon by most enthusiasts.

I've still used Omega Seamaster Chono. for about 10 years..still run really well.

HI brad ...from the looks perspective, i think they make some elegant watches. I have a vintage b&m pocket watch and i think it is well made.
i would stay away from their quartz models, (or any quartz models including patek's).
good luck....and enjoy it...mehran
