What is a watch in the $1500 range that you currently covet? I’m looking to move on my Sinn 556 MoP around that price (it doesn’t get any wrist time) so thinking about a one-out-one-in replacement. Made me curious what everyone loves at that price point. PFA my 556.
Isotope
I haven’t seen this before and it’s a great looking piece. I really love the 556 and would love to make one my daily. Do you think this could be a daily? I see comments saying it looks too flashy and you’ve said it’s not but an everyday wearer?
Going to Google this watch a whole bunch now but would love to see more pictures.
Any idea what you would swap it out for?
It could be a DD if you don’t like date windows. It’s not flashy at all. It’s all satin finished case and the dial is only colorful at certain angles. At others it looks just black.
Not sure what I’ll replace it with - I need a proper dress watch in my collection and also would like a moonphase. The new CW moonphase has my attention, as does the Cw Twelve at a similar price point. Or I’ll just put whatever I make off this toward a more expensive piece. Would really like a JLC mast control or reverso as a dress piece; still eyeing north year two-tone DJ as well which could easily replace this slot.
I recently got this watch with the fine-link bracelet and am finding it hard to take it off my wrist for any length of time. It’s subtle yet fabulous.
I was considering this exact watch a while back. Would you consider a trade for a Sinn 104 St Sa ABE?
Sorry, this is not much help, but my 556a rs is my favorite in that price range. Another one frederique constant highlife maybe 2nd hand.
It’s so beautiful. If they had that in gunmetal…ooh boy. Love that face so much.
I swapped one of those for a Seiko spb253j - love the shape and color of the Seiko. It wears insanely well on a NATO.
Black mother of pearl ? That is amazing looking
Longines DolceVita L5.767.4.73.0
Nomos Club Campus or pre-order one of Farer’s moonphase watches for next year.
Wait, you can pre-order those?
You’re at least the third person just in the post to suggest the Club Campus and I just don’t get it. Nomos watches are super clean looking but don’t compare to the formal dressiness of the 556 MOP with metal bracelet. It’d be a more casual watch, imo
Ball Fireman Enterprise (NM2098C-S20J-BK)
I’d look at some used Grand Seiko quartz. SBGX269 perhaps.
Any Christopher Ward watches in that range are very nice. I’d probably go with them.
Ball Marvelight IIi Caring edition can be found for that price point but you have to look
Sinn is the watch I want next but not that dial. I have a 42 Murph I need to offload. Grail watch is probably some type of grand seiko but I don’t look to find one in particular since it’s a long ways off.
