That Milgauss is such a grower. Hated it on first inspection, three months later, had to have one.

Nice video and decent impulse buys if you ask me. I’d love to see the mainspring on the Panerai to have and eight day power reserve! My question is do you know how many watches you have in your collection? For me I have no idea, I think in the region of 170

Exelent Video. Superb collection . I quite like the Bell & Ross with that orange and black combination. I tried the blue face Milagauss on in Wilmslow, it was the first one in the country and was used for the photo shoot for the advertising. I liked it , but I wanted a Hulk Submarriner

Sometimes you hesitate and regret it ever after because the chance never comes back, and sometimes what seemed like a chance turns out that it wasn't so much in hindsight. Tempus fugit.

@j.burgess4459 3 жыл бұрын

Special edition Pateks are a mixed bag. A few years ago there was a limited edition steel pilot's watch that was (I think?) only available in the US: that was a really sensational piece. This latest one...hmm... According to my AD there actually _were_ people who turned it down! Of course, Damian is right about the _money aspect_ - I guess any rare steel Patek is going to be a good "investment". But then again, maybe watch collecting shouldn't only be about investment?

I think most people gravitate to Rolex because of its popularity and the hype that is commands. And I think you shouldn't regret in getting that Panerai. It's a handsome watch and the design is one of a kind. And that makes the watch unique. Even from afar, it can't be mistaken that you're wearing a Panerai watch.

Nice 16550 Damian. Your taste is improving with knowledge. You might be aware that’s it’s the rarer of the two types of dial - called a ‘rail dial’ and has the original silver curved hands and original smaller crown and the original bezel - the 16550 bezel has bigger squarer numbers than the 16570 and Rolex fit 16570 bezel as service item now so look after it....next you need a 71/72 straight second hand 1655 (albino or std fading to hands with its original t Swiss t mk1 or mk2 dial) with original 7836 folded link bracelet they are awesome and rising very fast - £14k in 2017 now £21k watch and box or £29k or so full punched set - well done sir 💫 ps well out of Panerai the various special editions Luminor with pig 🐷 have dropped over £1000 in 3 yrs, while Rolex have doubled - I sold all my Panerai in 2017!

I had the Milgauss, loved the design and green crystal….then I bought one, the green crystal shows smudges up too easily and the polished center links are scratch magnets. Sold it about 20 months after buying it at a slight profit

I think you rock that Panerai just fine! It’s in your head, so don’t let us know. It’s a great weekend watch, throw on some jeans and a polo, you’re set to go. You might try some different straps to get that watch into the right place you will Iove; it’s a strap monster. Enjoy.....

I know you feel you regret that panerai but you've absolutely bought the RIGHT kind of Panerai..... The titanium for weight reduction but also for the functionality and the aesthetics..... Why would you want to own a big bulky shiny steel divers watch other than to show off? It's somewhat different with precious metal watches because I doubt many are used as tools.... I just don't get shiny polished steel tool watches, they're just scratch magnets when doing anything other than walking about or desk diving

Patek really maxing the marketing hype - £60k for a steel watch with a date complication. Wow. Yes I’m sure it will increase in value as its Patek, limited edition and will get lots of social media hype at some point.

If you put the white gold Rolex next to a stainless steel version, is there a really noticeable difference? I’m assuming the white gold is for people who want a precious metal but also don’t want to be to flashy.

Yes exactly, the difference is the weight and the sheen - white gold has a different look.

Hi brother keep with patek and Rolex always will keep the value, and make the changes slowly .The BR, Panerai, Casio never will be a good options. For the reason that special edition it’s the easy way of some brands to shitting the customers, like for example Hublot they started to make multiple limited edition whatches, and the end all the pieces lost the prestige and value. Good look

I moved on from my 'jewellery-type' watch now and moved onto a functional Apple Watch. I still miss my 'jewellery' watch and wear it on special occasions, but for day-to-day use a more functional device has taken over. Nevertheless 'jewellery-type' watches still have a place in my heart, and that been said my functional watch even monitors my health and that includes my heart.
