Was Flipping through this newly released book at the local bookstore - "101 Things to Buy before you Die!"

Guess this book follows the tradition of "101 Places to See before you Die" et al.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/101-Th ... 1933176093

WHAT's INTERESTING IS: Under Men's Watches, this book recommends that every Man should Own These 3 Brands before they Die:
1. Rolex
2. Omega
3. Breitling

I found that quite flattering,really! Not expecting Breitling to be there! In that - It is an AWESOME timepiece, But didn't expect 2 Lady Shopping Gurus to know about it!

By the way, How many of you can tick "Men's Watches" off your list of 101 things to BUY before you Die?

Yep, I can tick Rolex, Breitling and Omega off of my
shopping list. It's the remaining 98 items I've got
to worry about. :)

Yep I can tick those three of the list too. :thumbsup:

I agree that every watch fan probably should own at least one Rolex at some point, but I'd have to put Omega below Breitling! :wink:

When they pass the "46 mm barrier" on their cases I might consider it, but... damn, they feel small.

yes, which was one of the reasons I sold mine! That and the cheap feel of the hollow centre-links and horrid pressed metal of the clasp.... thankfully now rectified in the current models! :woohoo:

i hate to admit it but my SS sub DOES feel small and cheap. when i bought mine 12 years ago or longer it was pretty dang big. id never sell it as it was a goal i set for myself as a kid to get one.

but the thing is small by todays standards.

The Rolex's are not particularly small, Breitlings are HUGE :wink:
Well I can tick off 2 out of the 3 watches, I can't find an Omega that floats my boat yet

I can tick them all three... :) The Rolexes I've had have been passed to other owners and most of the Omegas too, but there's a Speedmaster SE on my arm right now.

If I make a move on an Omega it would be the Seamaster from the Bond movie... I really like the deep blue face on the watch, but since it's a quartz not sure; I prefer automatics.

They do an automatic too. I had one myself and it was a fine watch..... if a little common-place.
