Get an Hamilton Khaki or a Sinn 356 * it won't cost you an arm

Sinn arent that much cheaper than Tag, they do make some nice watches though and the Flieger is a classic :aok

Kubik - £400 for a winder :o you an pick up a Sinn 556 for £450...

It's a piece of jewelry. A functional piece of jewelry, but still jewelry. The price tag isn't that bad considering the workmanship and the fact it is probably made from a lot of precious metals.
Bad news...it's a luxury item for vain people with more money than sense.

Case:  18k Rose Gold
Buckle:  18k rose gold deployant
Band:  brown crocodile   <---bonded to leather
Crystal:  sapphire

Even if it had titanium or platinum workings...actual value is not more than $1000 maybe $2000. The chronograph function increases the cost/value but not to the tune of $12,000.

the "workings" are called a movement and that movement is worth at least $1000 on its own. microengineering, especially with diamonds, is neither simple nor cheap.

might be a decent investment too, assuming its ltd edn - my first Tag was an original F1 (yellow/black ploycarbonate), the cheapest watch theyve ever sold. today its worth 2x what I paid for it.


btw just noticed IWC's pilots watch is in its 16th revision, which means you can buy a Spitfire MkXVI from them :D

water proof?, date?, back light?, stop watch?, count down timer?

Water proof - yep
date - yep
backlight - yep
stopwatch - yep
count down timer - dont need one

Actually dont seen the stopwatch part either. Waterproof does good especially when you get 32% nitrogen solution on it
