If I had enough money to spare on a (VERY) pricey watch, I would buy this one. I love the fact that you can see through all the layers of the mechanics.

Glashütte are cool, skeleton watches aren't for me though. I really like the Nomos in the lower price segment from Glashütte, real lean minimalistic piece.
Had I unlimited money I'd just go and get a Paul Newman Daytona, because it can never be wrong

I like it how you Swedes consider a $1000-3000 watch a "minimalistic price". Jerks!

Romanson TM8163HM Titanium.

Have been using em for 13 years already. Swam in a pool, even dived with em. Never had problems. Just get the battery changed every 3 years.

But some time soon will get another one. Dont know which one yet.

Maybe this thread will help me with my decision.

Here's a question to someone who knows a bit about watches. I were once searching the internet and reading a lot of stuff about that. The topic is: wirst diameter. Internet is big and I found someone asking same question. Are there any mens watches for someone very skinny? His diameter was 16cm (6.3 inch via google). First reply was "haha are you twelve?". I didn't bother bumping the thread to get the answer because my diameter is 13cm (5.25in). I'm not really looking for a watch so it's more of a trivia because I saw this thread at the top.

I did say minimalistic piece

but then again I said in the lower price segment so you're a bit right anyway! I'm not saying this is a cheap watch however, I'm just saying that 1k USD is the lower price segment for a high quality watch with a mechanical movement.

While I think you mean circumference and not diameter (13 cm sounds like very non-skinny wrists if diameter) I believe there are plenty of watches for you to look at. There are plenty in the 32 mm region for men, some unisex watches and old watches have even smaller sizes too. The watches made for the asian markets usually are smaller in sizes from my experience, so that might be a lead to follow up on.

Sorry, I sometimes mix up those English words. I don't think 32mm is small enough, for some watches that are supposed to be bigger than hand (I hope you know what I mean) it would be just right but for anything fitting that's too much. And yeah I found some Soviet watches, not saying there are none but the availabiliy... I had no luck finding lots of them.

It is the lower price segment for a Glashütte watch, which you were referring to in that comment.

(That comment made me laugh by the way.)

Yeah, sorry, I did think that it makes no sense that the price is "lean", but my head was elsewhere I guess.
And don't get me wrong, Nomos are some of my favorite watches as well. I was lucky enough to play with a Wempe Edition. That blue is mesmerizing.
And yeah, if I had around $1500 to pay for a watch it would probably be a Nomos.

Really like the flat and minimalistic design. Hope I can afford some of the slick watches I've seen in this thread someday!

i buy poor man's watch, i like how $1000 watches are "mediocre" by price range and collector's standards XD

so, as a poor man i just got citizen nighthawk. i dug further into it, while NA versions have all black, black ss, titanium, the asian versions have brown, black, black w/ white chapter ring. just ordered the brown one from singapore and hopefully it arrives sooner than later

$200 via ebay.
