If this is definitely your final 5, then I would personally go for either of the FC watches.

Honestly my friend, I don't think you will keep any of these for long. I don't see these very different from what you have had before. So I would say choose one that you would not lose much when it's time to sell.

To me a classic watch should have heritage in its brand (hence the FC don't qualify), knowing by experienec that brand plays a big part in my keep/sell decisions

By the way do you really need a dressy classic watch? If the answer is yes, then you should invest in ONE good piece and not any of the above (no offence to the owners of the above watches/brands).

Thks bro ocean.

From the list I will go for FC SS classic.

Already have a evergreen 34 mm datejust?

[Oceanklassik]

Tx guys . No, those are not 'die-die' must have or will choose one among them. They are just those I've seen and touched over past weeks and as I am trying (very hard) to save for my next ROLEX watch, I do not intend to spend too much on another watch. But of course, I also don't want to 'anyhow buy'. Like most of you experts & veterans have advised, it may become another 'phase', i.e. another watch that I will buy, wear & 'flip'. I always incur loses in doing that.

Went window-shop along orchard today and I think I have 'fallen' for another

I do not mind it being 36mm because it is a klassik watch. As for gold plating, I was told that anything that is 10 microns and above will not see it wear off easily? Maybe you can share more of that?

i would go for 20 microns... 10 microns if your sweat is not particularly acidic or if you don't perspire much.

i've replated a few old watches before and from experience i know 10 microns will last through daily wear in the tropics.

why don't you get a datejust?

[Oceanklassik]

A DateJust now is not what I may be able to afford, sir.

[taxico]

if you wait a little, you'll find acrylic datejusts $1,350-$1,750.

[Oceanklassik]

Will take that into consideration, sir. Tx for advice

[Oceanklassik]

How about these?

Hey Ocean,

Would you be willing to consider indy German watch makers? I particularly find watches made by Limes attractive. Look under their Chyros and Pharo collections.

Yesterday i was going a few places to look for the 116610lv but find it hard to bite the bullet especially the price increase and when suddenly i was "shot".

Bought this watch in the end ... maybe end of the month then buy the green sub
