Yes it is like a C class

but the omega in this case would be a renault or opel

This one is a Skoda. Ugly, no prestige, but got lots of character and hell of a tough watch.

Anyway why would I want an old COE C Class when I have several E and S Classes and dare I say SL classes.

Why do you want to beat up something beautiful? Might as well go all the way, beat up a Ferrari. But you say Ferrari cannot take the abuse and too expensive

Ah.... thats where you are not getting it. (Actually i know you get it but you just want to talk) 

some things are nicer when they are weathered.  I dont fancy cars as much as i do and a ferrari is a lousy example. But by that virtue, i prefer to drive the car then to hv it garaged polished and shined.

certain Rolexes, some more than others are made to be beaten up. A basic Sub is just one of them.

 Therein lies the draw of the weathered beat up vintage Rolex which retains much of its original state.  

For me, a well worn watch tells a lifetime of stories and is more interesting than one left in the showcase for 50yrs.  So you will never find me clamoring over those stupid overpriced NOS pieces.   

Actually thats one key reason why i stopped buying brand new Rolexes. Its not that i totally hate them ( some yes) but its becos something else older and more interesting always cuts that queue.

yes yes, i hv plenty, oh plenty of friends who would just want the latest out of the block, cars , bikes, watches.... not me. 

There are exceptions always and I bought a brand new Triumph Speedtwin a month ago.  Only becos it resembled an old school classic triumph roadster which i had 20 yrs ago. The kind that never dies...you know?

i think someday you will get there, cos i think you have the passion in you.  For now it could be the age thats holding you back.   Perhaps....

 

 

Ps.  Ferraris cannot take the beating, its a fact. Neither can Pateks, APs etc....

Just needed to add.

If its so beautiful, it cant be beat up (worn how i like) then i dont want it.  

Thats why i never bought a classic simple calatrava which i still believe is everything that a Patek truly stands for.  

maybe when i am 65 70?

You would agree that a solid gold daytona with diamonds is one of the best looking watches in the world right?

Calatrava also probably one of the models that I’m looking to add in the next 5-10years... lol
