OK, I saw the Audemars Piguet Rubens Barrichello limited edition. The list price was KD33,000 but after discount I think it would go down to like KD25,000. There are 150 in the world and 4 pieces were in Kuwait, 2 already sold and 2 still left.

I held it in my hands and the thing weighs a ton, I cant find a figure online but it should be around 500-600 grams I think.

bikeshed I don’t have any of the watches above, these are just my favorites.

Regarding IWC, I actually have one of their Porsche design models. Its cool but in general their designs are pretty normal. Same goes for Tag, I find their designs boring.

Breguet I honestly don’t know much about, hadn’t heard of them until recently.

Your choices are a bit predictable but I like the audemars RO with the rubber bezel and links, yachting or something like that it was called.

Why not go for an IWC or a Breguet…or a Tag for that matter…its as good a watch as any of the ones you’ve got. Better still, invest in an older timepiece.

At the end of the day, watches are one of the few forms of acceptable adornement for a man…and there is nothing wrong with spending money on a watch.

So Mark, you didn’t tell us which one are you going for….and What’s the most you’d pay for a watch?

In this case its a matter of case, when you buy this kind of watch you really like it and enjoy it! Its the same for cloths, shoes, and other items. There are things which are functional enough to do all you need to do, but it doesn’t stop you from buying nice clothes because you feel like it! These watches are extremely well made and have a lot of work put into it!

its just cuz in most cases, the 10:10 or 10:08 doesnt come in the way of the brand of the watch or possibly any date/chronograph or anything in the 3-9 area…

Mark, I wanted to ask why are the watches on ads set to 10:08 ’cause I just noticed it in these pictures.

I already saw the link of the post related to this post, which talks about why most of the watches on ads are set to 10:08, but the link provided in that post isn’t working :-s … Could you please fix it? ’cause I’m really interested in reading the article.
