Pudgie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 That 'tressa' watch looks pretty nice. I'd maybe even buy one like that, although, realistically i'll just use my phone. 9:37am.Posted at 9:44 eh? I'd invest in a watch. Link to comment
dave_min Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm aware that the clock on my work PC is slow. I did look into fixing it, but decided that having it 7 minutes slow means I can legitimately be 7 minutes late for work every day. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's a dual time watch.That would be handy if you lived in Australia or somewhere else with a different time to Scotland. Like Montrose for example where it's currently 10.15am in the year 1987. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 New watch arrived .... HMT Pilot ParaShock. Collectable Indian number. Don't like the colour scheme. Reminds me on the Australian cricket team for some reason. Watch is decent. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It ticks very loudly. Don't think the Indian technology is the best to be honest. Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not the thought for the day guy going away hopefully. How's he doing anyway?He's hanging on in there. Given 2 weeks to live over 4 months ago. At this rate he'll outlast the calendar. No, watch not for him. Where he's going there's not much need for one. Link to comment

daytripping Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Chutney min....we need investment in pubs, fast food shops and snooker clubs, now is not the time to be adding to your watch collection. We need your expertise...and cough cough money. The nightshift is double bubble, see the boys ok min, DIY never dies, you're so lucky. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I haven't bought a watch for over a week though. Getting withdrawal. Will be sussing out the pubs for sale in Thailand next week dayts, hopefully come up with some kind of plan for the 'hat (Thailand Branch) boozer. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thinking about buying this, but there are already 3 watches incoming in the post through boozy eBay bids, might not go down well in the ChutneyLove household. I wish Quaggy would hurry up with my Hublot replica! That's quite something, that watch. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's quite something, that watch. I bought it. The rectangular shape around the analogue dial is actually a mirror! The watch is a lot chunkier than I expected, though it raises a few comments when I wear it - only positive so far. Like trainers and jeans, it is important to have a wide selection of watch types, Ke1t - though perhaps with your basics for comfort attitude, you disagree. Fair enough. Link to comment
SheepieBaaBaa Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 TAGs? Seriously?It's the brand watch collectors generally avoid, style over substance. 100% right. I have two and both of them have started falling to bits...literally bits falling off and I haven't been doing anything stupid with them. Customer service not interested. I like the look of them but after the experience with those I would say avoid TAG like the plague. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Speaking of Tags.Anyone recommend a place in Aberdeen that I can put my one in to get serviced/repaired?A new strap is also required. Link to comment

Showed it to the wife and she seemed to like it. But enough about my cock, let's talk about that watch. My tastes are, as you mentioned, pretty basic and extend towards the utilitarian rather than the decorative. That's not to say I can't appreciate that not everyone thinks the way I do The last watch I purchased, quite recently in fact, was this fella here. About as spartan a design as you'll find in a watch, but I can look at it and know what the time is and that's good enough for me. No doubt people will look at it and go, "That's quite something, that watch" Link to comment
The Boofon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's nae showing the right time. Clydeside sheep doesn't believe the manufacturer exists and it's a carbon dating hoax. 1 Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nae my cup of tea, but I do like some minimalist designs. Though is that a stone at 12 o'clock? Bit of bling there to impress the ladies?! Is that a ceramic bracelet? I do like those and was looking at a similar Rado piece with a 6 o'clock date window. I have a Fossil chronograph bought for me by an ex Filipino colleague. Nice thought, but I had specifically asked for a replica Hublot chronograph and he came back with a genuine Fossil he had bought at the airport! It has never missed a beat and keeps excellent time - though it's rarely on my wrist. The thing is, doesn't matter what your watch looks like in the long term if you are buying a Japanese / Chinese quartz movement. It is going to have a fairly limited life span - your grandkids won't be wearing it. My 'quartzies' are mainly beaters that I know won't be with me forever, my autos I hope to give to my kids one day. Link to comment
