What is a watch in the $1500 range that you currently covet? I’m looking to move on my Sinn 556 MoP around that price (it doesn’t get any wrist time) so thinking about a one-out-one-in replacement. Made me curious what everyone loves at that price point. PFA my 556.
Ball Fireman Enterprise (NM2098C-S20J-BK)
Right now for around 1000-1500 range that i really want to get are:
- Grand Seiko 6145-8050 from 1972 in Mint Condition.
- Speedmaster Reduced, i think i seen one used at around 1700
- Longines Legend Diver
all of them are used ofc, i don’t really like to buy things new
Junghans - Max Bill
You are gonna regret. I bought a longines to have a 3 watch collection and it drilled into me how much I miss wearing my MOP.
I picked up a really nice Omega SMP 2264.50 “Peter Blake” on its Speedy-style bracelet with box and papers for $1500 a few months ago and absolutely love it!
I haven’t seen this before and it’s a great looking piece. I really love the 556 and would love to make one my daily. Do you think this could be a daily? I see comments saying it looks too flashy and you’ve said it’s not but an everyday wearer?
Going to Google this watch a whole bunch now but would love to see more pictures.
Any idea what you would swap it out for?
It could be a DD if you don’t like date windows. It’s not flashy at all. It’s all satin finished case and the dial is only colorful at certain angles. At others it looks just black.
Not sure what I’ll replace it with - I need a proper dress watch in my collection and also would like a moonphase. The new CW moonphase has my attention, as does the Cw Twelve at a similar price point. Or I’ll just put whatever I make off this toward a more expensive piece. Would really like a JLC mast control or reverso as a dress piece; still eyeing north year two-tone DJ as well which could easily replace this slot.
