need help with a watch
#16
This should work. It's the correct color but requires some calibration and a mount

I have a watch collection problem and like to have a variety of different brands and style watches. I am not a big Rolex fan but think the two mentioned here (Sea Dweller and Daytona) are my favorite but as I said they are not really red. I could easily see wanting to get a red watch. I have specifically picked up a few dive watches with different colored dials.
I probably also agree Tag is not quite on par with Rolex, Breitling or Omega but my Carrera Calibre 36 Flyback is one of my favorite and nicest sport watches. I have a couple of both but prefer Omega over Beitling because Breilting watches are a little to busy on the dial and oversized in general but then my 1950 Premier tri compax is one of my favorite watches. Actually I keep saying a certain watch is one of my favorites because I guess they all are at one point in time and that is why I buy them.

I have a white 991S Cab with red interior/roof and trim (wheels painted etc). I'm also looking for a Red watch. Already have a Daytona but looking for a fun watch but not at Porsche Design prices (not sure they still make the red faced one anyway). Can't find much in Vancouver but going to Stuttgart next week and see what I can find. Not interested in the watches Porsche itself sells as I already have 4 of those (they're made by Fossil) and one is partly red (the 917 #23 watch). These are just not well built and 2 of my 4 need service to align the second hand properly.
Like the idea of a Swatch as this is just for fun.

To be clear there are watches made for the Porsche design drivers selection that are around $500 and are available thru Suncoast. Then there are watches made for the company called Porsche Design which was or maybe still is owned by another branch of the Porsche family. These are much more expensive mechanical watches some of which were made by companies like IWC who are among the best watch makers in the world. For instance the later company made a titanium dive watch thru IWC that is considered one of the classic dive watch ever made. Well used older ones can sell for over 10k on the used market

Black/Red deployment strap.
Automatic,Glass back, Ltd edition.
Cheap too! $800 shipped in Conus

^^^ that watch is an AWI Cintree Curvex (Armenian Watch International made in Armenia). It was designed by Franck Muller who is a very respected high end watch maker who owns part of AWI. It is sort of a replica of the Muller Cintree Curvex. Personally I think red is an odd color strap to put on it but YMMV.
I have purchased several used watches most of them vintage and if you do your homework it is a great way to get a vintage, or late model but discontinued watch or an almost new watch at a good price but it is also real easy to get ripped off.
