A few to try
A few to try
In looking through the 2014 Wrist Watch Annual, a few watches jump out at me. All retail under $10K USD. I would like to try each of them someday.
1. Eberhardt & co. - Tazio Nuvolari Vanderbuilt Cup "Naked"
2. Omega - Seamaster PO Good Planet GMT
3. Eterna - Royal Kontiki Two Time Zones
4. Zenith - Montre d'Aeronef Type 20. This piece is 40mm. It's too bad there isn't something in between the 48mm pilots and this; they are all so stunning, just extreme on the sizes.

Re: A few to try
Some interesting pieces-I like the looks of the Eberhard a lot. The Eterna looks like it has some LW DNA to it.

Man, that Eterna is sweet. I'm not too sure about that orange and blue combination on the Omega.

Re: A few to try
That Zenith is badass, and at 40mm it might be the big pilot substitute I've been looking for.

Re: A few to try
I saw the Zenith pilots at an AD today. The DLC GMT version is very cool (Limited to 500 pcs). Surprisingly it didn't look as insanely big on the wrist as I thought it would at 48mm. It had the nicest black leather strap I think I've ever seen on a watch. The leather was so soft and the workmanship looked superb.
They had the 57.5mm as well. Now that thing is ridiculous!

I like the Eberhard and that Kon Tiki is very cool!
Zenith is pretty sick!

Re: A few to try
Exactly. Those are the two watches that come to mind when I see this piece. The blue on the Omega is no my favorite, I really liked the look of the prototype. If Zenith had averaged these two, with a 44mm, I'd be all over it. I like the look of these better than the Big Pilot.hoppes-no9 wrote:And some IWC Ingenieurmoishlashen wrote:The Eterna looks like it has some LW DNA to it.

Re: A few to try
The zenith pilots looked impressive at the Inside Basel show. That Eterna definitely has some Genta styling notes. I like it.

Re: A few to try
Mouth watering pieces, indeed.
Zenith has been growing on me a lot these days. You will make me poorer! Thanks :-(
I tried that Orange PO Good Planet at Omega Boutique in Downtown Vancouver a few months back. Wow! It is a fantastic piece!

Re: A few to try
The Omega and the Eterna are the winners in that group.

Zenith is cool. That omega photo looks like a glamour shot or a Sears catalog.
Re: A few to try
Some great choices, and taste lilhoody ! Haven't seen that Eterna either by the way.
Re: A few to try
Damn you Todd! I am trying to stay strong but your pilot keeps drawing me in! My current favorite omega also but I just haven't felt the pull quite as hard from the lately.tmw wrote:I agree.

Re: A few to try
The case on the Eterna looks sweet but I am not a big fan of the typeface they used for the numerals. I think it could have been much less lazy and boring.
Also way too much writing on the dial with nonsense bullshit.
