I ordered another Laco..

[leslie]

Haha, another wild idea of mine is if I don't do a grand clearance of my watches is to at least clear up a few IWCs, my Omega to make way for a Blancpain. Great if I can lay my hands on a Blancpain GMT at about $5-6k (JW will occasionally have such shock prices), then I'll have in my collection models from the 'top' 5 traditional brands of horology: PP, VC, AP, Breguet & Blancpain.
Then the higher dream is to include another 4 good brands including GP, JLC, Zenith and UN that can be gotten at reasonable prices (Under $5k). Lange out of my league for now.

how come no rolex one? if not wait for my A. Loong & Son lah..

Haha.. I think sub will be good..

Ah, then you should gun for an IWC Mark XVI! : )

[Iceheller]

Not to find fault, but Blancpain is not so call traditional as it only "recently<15 years" revived by swatch group. In fact, so is Breguet after swatch bought it from some arab investor or something... Maybe you should shift JLC and Rx as traditional brand as they all more or less have real continueous history and produce almost all their own watch movements.

By the way, how do you get GP, JLC, Zenith and UN that is under $5k? If pre-owned, then the seller must be bleeding hell a lot bloody in the pocket department.

And yes, Laco and stowa watches are really nice.

How much does it cost?

[toffeesthings]

How much does it cost?

I think list price for the IWC Mark XVI is about $5.8-6k. Used piece should be about $3k onwards depending on condition.
