Watches?

From left to right.
My late grand father’s gold watch from his navy duties.
Bering: Gift from wife many years ago. Rarely wear this one by no reason at all.
Big Lamborghini: most recent buy. A bit clunky for my small wrists but I do like it and wear it quite often.
Silver Lamborghini. Have had this watch for many years. Sits like a glove on me.

Interesting to see the Tonino watch has buttons on top vs the majority on the sides.

I like that about it
Only thing that bothers me is that it is having red stitching and details... that means I have to go with either red calibers/stiching or a Rosso Mars Huracan to match it.

This was actually pretty cool

I just received my Bulova Precisionist 98B343. I put a new battery, added 2 links and adjusted the clasp. I'm happy it's near mint, this model has been discontinued for many years and I got a great deal. Retail was $1600 CAD and I got it for $533 CAD including shipping and duty fees.

Do you guys have a watch tool kit? It's very handy to replace batteries and removing or installing pins. I need the big wrench to unscrew the back side.

That's really cool, the tool kit. I have similar one but less tools. I change straps but for service like battery and oiling I let my local watchmaker do it for me.

Where would you put Panerai or Hublot or Breitling on that hierarchy? I'm actually surprised Rolex comes in #7.

 

[Rampante21]

Don't know how to put them, and I am also a bit surprised about Rolex... Im not really into what "others think" and these kind of lists at all. Only thing I care about is what I like to be honest. I have always liked Richard Mille - but they are a bit too bulky (and pricy) for me unfortunately.

Ofcourse you have!

I own two JLC watches and frankly speaking, they are more accurate than my Rolex dd. IMO the movement is a tad superior, but for value and liquidity wise, Rolex just beats them all. So the hierarchy list has a bit of truth to it. I don't know about Richard Mille since it's way too big for me. Patek is definitely a grail watch.

IWC, Omega, Tudor are in the same group. Panerai is above it. Breitling, Tag, Cartier are in same group and under. Just my personal preference. Other people has different rank obviously.

Most of the watch brands on the list I never heard before. I enjoy watches because of the esthetics. The price tag matters, I'm sure some will think it strange to spend so much on a car but not interested in paying a huge amount on a watch.

At the same time I received the Tonino watch I also received a watch from Lotus, I was so impressed how well it looks I ordered 3 other designs.

I received the Tonino Lamborghini Spyder watch T9XB, the box is huge! Very nice of them to include an extra band with a different pattern. I thought the instruction booklet would have a lot of details because it is so thick but no it basically explains time settings for all their models. It doesn't even show you how to open and set the clasp and band size, I fooled around a long time trying to figure it out. You have to press both clasp buttons in deep to open it, then you need to pull down a hinge that rotates the pin out of the way to slip in the leather band.

I wore the watch and it is comfortable, it has a sleek elegant design, very "Italian art style". What I particularly like is that I can read the time easily, my other watches blend in the background and I have to decipher what time it is. I'm grateful Tonino paid attention to the colors of the actual car arancio borealis / tangerine, they matched the stichting and hands. The crown even has the bull logo on it for a total of 3 logos. Another plus for it it's not ridiculously expensive.

Whoa, thanks for sharing the photos! It looks really good and fits perfectly in your display collection.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has secret button that shoots out laser, since it has no usage instructions

A very nice purchase and you are actually making me think about getting one too. Maybe they have a smaller version for a small wrist.

I'm going to check if metal bracelets are available, if not that's fine I like the leather band.


A quick search shows many white ones that would match your car and maybe white and green? There are more examples out there. I particularly like the second picture one below.










How about white and green ?

You have to be careful on this forum, the text you put in might disappear if you leave the page and come back without posting it.

All of a sudden after years of searching without finding something I like I found the Tonino watch.Thanks to @REKIII when I looked up his Lotus watch I stumbled on other stuff, more orange watches that I like! I'm not sure if it's the same brand though.

I found this one, it's more of a casual/sporty watch, very modern with a futuristic design, it's right up my alley and just the right size for me at 44mm. I love that it's the proper tangerine color throughout, the other main color is polished gunmetal. I am impressed with the bottom dial it rotates with each passing second. I like it so much and so inexpensive I ordered 3 other similar designs in tangerine.

That watch on the 1st photo looks pretty good. I would wear it. Checking it atm. I think all triangle ones are too big for my wrist. Thanks for the recommendation.

I thought you'd like the 1st one. I didn't find the model number as it was a photo from a dubious site. I haven't seen it on another search.

Aye, I think it could be fake Chinese watch. I couldn't find that one on any site either. The official site doesn't have it.

Could also be discontinued?

I tried to find this T9XB but looks like it's been discontinued, the only one I could find is in Spain. Since the orange contour doesn't seem like tangerine I'm afraid to order it. I love those racing style buttons.
