[Horlogeman]

I think rolex is too mainstream, but the ROO diamond and the montauk are beautifull!!

[Horlogeman]

WOOOOW!

Rose gold Nautilus on a bracelet is hands down my favorite rep Nautilus! As far as stainless steel versions go, i prefer the Royal Oak (like 15400) over the Nautilus to be honest. But this gold monster... this is great, bro!

BTW, nice CLK... soon enough you'll have a fellow geek CLK owner, as ProHunter is on a lookout for a CLK 270 CDI

[Horlogeman]

Well mine is for sale at the moment want to buy a S-Class again. So the CLK has to leave but I will keep the E-Class.

First I really wasn't into the Rose Gold but when I saw this piece I was sold... Also my wife so it was underneath the Christmas tree on Christmas eve

Love it...!!!

Which S-Class? W221, W220 or the brand new W222? :P

I'll be upgrading in the next couple of months, but i dunno whether to go for the W221 or the C216 CL-Class... the latter, while less practical, is tempting Right now i have three four door cars, including the W220, which is waay the most practical of them all.

[Horlogeman]

Well I have allready got a W220 (02) and also the W221 (06) but I it drives great so I'm searching for a nice W221 again and again a V8 but it must be the "L" version and with a lot of options and most important of all a complete dealer history, amg-styling and correct km's. I know it's difficult to find but I always search for a long time, patient is very important. My CLK is also great in options, great km's and complete dealer history with it. The problem is only that it's a coupe and I'm not really into the coupes. A CL-Class is very nice but also 2-door. So I'm searching for a nice V221.

The W211 stays and the C209 has to go.

You have a dilemma between the C216 and W221... Same dilemma when I need to choose way back between a C215 and W220... I've chosen the W220 because there was more space and less manufacture issues. The C215 had at that time a lot of problems with the ABC and stuff like that so I've chosen the W220. I'm not really into the C216, well I'm into it but don't know the issues it has. It will keep longer his value for sure instead of a W221 (same story with 215/220).

If I were you I would have change the W220 for his follower the W221 but that's my opinion...

Coupe is nice but again not really pratical

[JMS1988]

If i'd go for an S-Class, i'd be also looking for either S500 or maybe S600, both in Langversion and properly equipped, of course

Thanks for the advices, bro! I appreciate them. It seems that you've owned a lot of Mercs, more than me, that's for sure.

What are your thoughts about the R230 SL-Class? I drove one recently and loved it ever since...

[Horlogeman]

Look out with V12's !!!! They can have issues with the oilpressure and things like that. When a V12 has driven 175.000km or more it's definitly a no-go. But when it's completely dealer checked you can give it a shot. Most V12's have problems when they reach 175/200K and when the oil goes complete around the engine you are going to pay the car twice! if you know what I mean.

R230 are loyal models never heard of strange issues or manufacture faults or something.

I drove/owned a lot of Benzes that's right. It's my second love next to watches.
