Red & Black German Racing Watch: Best Hued Temption Formula Rally Chronograph Available
I admit to loving this watch. It just exudes cool to me, but in a really understated way. This to me is a non-flamboyant, flamboyant watch. I've mentioned Temption Formula (and Classic) Rally watches before, but in my opinion this version is the nicest. Other models have yellow or blue trim coloring as opposed to the red in this watch. To me, the red contrasts the best with the black PVD case and dial, not to mention being the most powerful looking.Temption is a powerhouse little German watch maker that churns out a scant 700 watches a year on average. Why the limited production? Because that is about all one can produce and maintain high levels of quality and consistency. The president of the company is involved in most every watch, ensuring a high level of detail and craftsmanship. I own a different Temption watch (the Temption CGK203,which I happen to be wearing right now), and can easily attest to the joy of ownership.

Advice on watch purcahse 5712R, 5980R, 5712R, AP ROO 29540
Hi Guys,I just returned from Zurich and tried a bunch of amazing watches. Here is my short list of favourites:5980/1R75,000 CHF (?51,500)5980R52,700 CHF (?36,000)5712R38,400 CHF (?26,000)- Rose Gold ROO Schumacher72,000 CHF (?49,000)Although I went to a few AD the discounts being offer were horrible so I couldnt do a deal. My favourite watch hands down is the 5980R, but my wife felt that the all gold braclet was too much of a statement and I rhink ahe is right. It also sat outside my budget ao I needes to get one 30% off which would prove very difficult given how new it was. She then made what I think is a good suggestion.By looking at the big price difference between the Chrono on leather strap (5980R) and the moon phase power reserve (5712R), then factoring in a good discount, maybe I should consider two watches. For example the 5712R and the ROO Rose Gold 25940 (older model with round push buttons). This way I have a nice watch to wear with a suit and another casual watch.So may I p

so this just happened..
Went to my AD to pick up a 5167 they just received, but walked out getting a 5146. It kind of just sang to me, but the wife is going to kill me. Was this a good decision?
