    Re: My dream watch arrived today

    That is an absolute peach of a watch Andy :twisted: now I am a big strap fan and that brown combo just looks
    so so good,a simply stunning watch. As regards the comparison with the GO I've been fortunate to own one
    and it was a special watch indeed but this Dornbluth looks of similar pedigree so once the dust settles it'll be interesting
    to know your thoughts :)

    To add to the "Dorny" euphoria, I have just now placed my order with Dirk - Cal. 99.1 spec changeable (should be fun deciding). Roll on Spring!

    Andy, thanks for pushing me over the edge. :wink:

    What a wonderful piece Andy, the dial and those raised numbers are something else... 8)

    BTW The leather wins it for me :)

    Congrats on a beautiful piece!

    I have already exchanged a couple of mails with Dirk and as I am approaching my 40th Birthday (next September..) I might just have found my 'gift'.

    These guys are absolutely top in terms of communication; I posted here that I sent a request for information and a price list yesterday afternoon, the list was there this morning at 9 and after a couple of mail exchanged between me and Dirk, I am almost convinced that I would like to order.... :drunken:

    No w how to convince the wife, that this is the present I want..... :cry: :cry: :twisted:

    Congrats Andy, it is a stunner and a watch I have admired for a long time. Maybe next year I get a chance to finally purchase a Dorn. Enjoy!

    Stunning :thumbleft:

    Like others, I'm not sure why it looks better on the strap, but it does (IMHO) :)

    Jeez Andy you're everywhere! Are there any forums that you do not frequent?!

    Well I suppose I too would be trumpeting it across the land if I owned such a beautiful watch!

    Lovely watch. Far better with leather than with bracelet (and I am a bracelet man!).

    Plainly wonderful, compliments.

    But please, do not wear it with the bracelet.

    At the risk of lowering the tone - what ball park are these in, price-wise?

    Me too, can't let a watch that beautiful pass by without comment. This seems to be step up in terms of elegance even from the Stowa Marine Original. Off to look at the Dornblüth website and then I'm going to cry because I can't afford one :D The only possible way to cheer me up would be more pictures ;)

    Congratulations on securing such a fabulous watch. Long may you enjoy it :)

    Depends on spec, but circa 4,000 Euro's

    Which, relatively speaking, seems a bargain considering what you would get for that money in a high street AD.

    Very much agreed. Currently the base spec 99.1 can be had for as little as €3,400, which for what you get is IMHO a bargain.

    Thanks. Seems reasonable. Lovely looking thing which looks better on the strap I think. Can you specify without bracelet?

    Yes - The bracelet is an optional extra that not that many go for as far as I can tell.

    Having looked again it does look good on the bracelet. Just been on the website. I think the one you have looks more balanced than the 99.0.

    Does everyone feel this is the one to go for? Any thoughts on the 99.2 and 99.3? Haven't looked at prices. I'm assuming these are more expensive?

    Every now and again I find something worthy enough for a big one of these.

    Re: My dream watch arrived today

    Just seen this. It's a great watch. I agree that it really shines on the strap not the bracelet. I am immediately researching my next purchase (defying promise to myself not to buy any more watches ever).

    Re: My dream watch arrived today

    Simply beautiful. Congrats... 8)

    Re: My dream watch arrived today

    Congrats,
    I know you have wanted one of these for a while.

    I wish I had ordered a couple of years ago when I came close - maybe I will wait for yours on SC :D

    Good contrasting wrist shots Andy :)

    This thread has run on a good amount, so you have obviously struck a chord with your fellow members. I'll just say it again - I really love the blued hands and (not so) small seconds :thumbleft:

    Add me as a supporter to all the positive comments. I requested a catalogue and judging by the response (and the catalogue) I received I am not at all suprised the this maker attracts such warmth.

    Now dare I stick my hand down the back of the sofa? I am sure there is a winning sweepstake ticket down there somewhere.
