Stopped by A. Lange & Shne while Xmas shopping at the mall. My god..I remember seeing (
this article
) on HODINKEE about the grey dial Saxonia and liking it, but in person it's even better. Wish I could see it in the pink gold as well. The Saxonia really deserves more cred, it's so damn wearable. The case and lug thickness is great on the wrist.
Also checked out a pink gold Langematik Perpetual, one of my favorite looking movements with dat microrotor. A complicated watch that still wears great, 38.5mm diameter and not too thick.
Also checked out a Patek 5170 which was pretty sick. Didn't snap any pics so these aren't mine. It's subtle but still a pretty hnnnng watch.

Rather than purchasing a Sub (114060), I've decided to snag an SMP (212.30.41.20.03.001) and a Speedy (3577.50):
Still want a Sub - and I will acquire one someday, but the SMP will suit me now. Additionally, it leaves me with just enough to acquire that gorgeous Speedy.
Ultimately, that's 3 Omegas in my collection:
3551.20 (Speedmaster Broad Arrow; chronograph )
3577.50 (Speedmaster "From the Moon to Mars" Professional; chronograph )
212.30.41.20.03.001 (Seamaster Professional; diver )
Happy collector.

I bought that Speedy, just to flip for a quick gain. MUCH better in person. Really liked the colors, popped.

What do you guys think of this watch?
ashford.com/us/watches/baume-and-mercier/classima-executives/MOA10098.pid?nid=cpg_cat680049&so=82
Don't know too much about watches but I like how it looks. Not too flashy. Any other suggestions for a watch in the 500-800 range?

Finished my last exam today, and am currently at the campus pub waiting for a friend to join. My professor had a colleague sitting and chatting with him during our exam, when I handed in my paper I noticed he was wearing an FP Journe bleu. I complimented him on it and he said outside of watch collectors it's never drawn attention.

Google the watch model+strap material you like and check out images may find some inspiration there.
Edit: I did just that and found this pick, I think it looks excellent and very versatile to match with cloths, granted you have a belt+shoes in similar color to match the leather

now before i buy anything, i've been browsing a little and i liked this alot
http://www.mvmtwatches.com/collectio...ck-tan-leather
i'd just put a black leather strap on it, i liked the red pointer alot
what do you guys think? it's gonna be my first one, do you approve or does MVMT have something chitty about them that a noob like me can't see?
thanks

That being said it all depends on your priorities and your budget. Knowing that, these folks here will point you in the right horological direction.

I love Mondays, cause that's when the mailman brings me the most watches. This one just arrived today. I haven't had time to take decent pics yet, but it's so immaculate!
It looks way better in the flesh than in this crappy pic
