Took a trip to Tourneau in NYC today with the fam....Had a blast and was really a pleasure to speak with a salesman who really knows about watches...My wife walked out and said she learned sooo much about watches today and she has a new respect for my addiction...wow that was worth the trip on its own...:b...So I basically tried on many watches in the store trying to decide what will beat and replace my grail that I want. I tried on:

Rolex deep sea
Glashutte sports evolution chronograph bracelet
IWC aquatimer on bracelet
Blancpain flyback chronograph on strap
Breitling bently gmt rubber strap
Breitling Bently 6.75 on bracelet
Breitling B01 on bracelet
Panerai 299
Panerai 297
Cartier Santos chronograph 100 XL on leather strap
Cartier chronograph Roadster
I have to say all of these watches are amazing in their own way and scream true luxury. I want them all...lol...just some are a tad bit too small for me and that is the main reason why some of them are eliminated from the list. Glad I went to 2 AD dealers today it helped me make my decision. I will post next weekend when I pick up my next watch...

James it was awesome...Not just because I was like a kid in a candy store of course..lol...but because my wife was so involved and interested and actually learned something today about horology...that in itself was worth it for me. Cant wait to hear what you see also james.

trips like that are visual masturbation for me. it is pretty good (looking at the watch), but not nearly as good as the real thing (owning the watch)

Any watch that you bought off of that list is a winner. Can't wait to hear which one it was.
