So many watch threads at the moment I thought I'd start one with 'scoobynet's most wanted'


My favourite and still yet to find (afford) one

I'd love one of the original movement Speedmaster Moon watches (pre-1961?), preferably one which has actually been worn in space on an EVA for the historical/rarity value.

Or I'd quite like an X-33.

Not really fussed about super-exotica, though I did see a photo of a tourbillon which I thought was pretty amazing.

Like this (if the link works) http://www.omega.ch/index.php?id=317&pos=1&no_cache=1#

It's a technical first and reminds of 50's B movies.

Plus it's worth more than most people's cars.

Pocket watches just don't do it for me, although I do have a Zenith Tandem sat in my watch box.

Omega make some interesting watches, I've seen that one before. My problem with spending money on them is that like some other brands big depreciation is a given.

The co-axial Omega's are smart watches but other than throwing money away on a Planet Ocean my money would only go on a 'moonwatch'

Oh sorry, did I say $1m? I meant $11m!

I suppose mistakes will happen when parodying Rabid's display of what he calls 'good taste', aka googling for 'most expensive watch'.

You wouldn't know good taste if you bit into it

So, which one are you today?

Jaycee. Jason, Alex? Mike even

I had a Speedy Moon watch, ended up selling it as it wasn't exactly what I wanted for a daily wearer (and I can't afford a collection). If I was buying another "dress watch" it would probably be this - not especially exotic but I like it. Co-Axial movement too.

Google? Good taste is about selection for a reason. A google search for 'most expensive watch' certainly wouldn't bring up a Milgauss. It's the anti-magnetic mad scientist origins of that watch that interest me.

There are far more exotic and expensive pieces I could have chosen.

Not exactly Luftwaffe but of a similar ilk.Limited edition 49 of 60.









More sentimental value than monetary value to me.
