Watches...need Info

[Bluto10]

hey im a man of quality spammer, you klnow that.

 

but for telling the time, the cheapo watches you buy at petrol stations will do it as well as any.

techinically they winna be as accurate to the ms, or a reliable, but they work well enough for 99.9% of the population.

 

the addional quality that goes into, say, a rolex is largely unseen, and only of any use when its bought as an 'inbvestment' or some such.

And if you truly were needing something that was THAT accurate, you'd likely be using other instruments to do the timing and not a Rolex!

What is the difference between a watch that costs £2000 and one that costs £200? .

 

£1,800.

 

 

I have no need for a watch since the advent of mobile phones.

[Pudgie]

Just got a new Timex for day to day use. £50 and perfect for working and faffing around with. I've got my "proper" watch that I keep for formal events and nechts oot.

Right handed folk that wear their watch on their right wrists a weirdos

 

Just saying.

 

Any way. Love this by Dave Allen

One of my favourite watches just now is an eBay special by Khrone & Son (sp?). Skeleton automatic watch. Cost me about 30 dollars brand new. Another favourite is again an eBay special, Lacoste - simple silver chat. I think it was 40 pounds second hand.

 

I have nicer watches for wearing out, but a lot of my favourites are cheapos.

[zander]

Got a Hugo Boss watch does the job for me nothing to fancy.

Fucked if I was wearing one worth a few grand it would end up broken or lost in a month.

[daytripping]

I don't like watches.

[Nelly]

I don't like watches.

 

especially the ones with a black face?

[Tyrant]

I bought a fancy one (by my standards) and ended up selling it because a) I hated being so paranoid about breaking the fucker (it was ceramic) and b) I knew I could double my money if I sold it.

[rgudon]

People who call a watch a "time piece" can fuk off.

[fine-n-dandy]

My last watch was a 007 watch just after my night rider watch.

 

Battery lasted about a month cos I kept playing the alarm

[tightbreeks]

the best watch is the casio f10? the ten pound a go effort.

Recently bought a designer watch for nights out and a beater watch for work/holidays. Wanted something more casual for everyday use and liked the look of this. My knowledge of watches is pretty piss poor so I hope I bought an ok watch.

[ChutneyLove]

Yeah, Seikos are ok. I've got a few of them. Seiko 5 watches are good, budget automatic numbers. The old-school divers Seikos are now pretty collectable too, if you get one of those in good nick it will increase in value!

Agreed.

 

I've got a few vintage Seikos. Great watches and there will always be a buyer if I decide to get rid.

Just bought this...

 

 

which is a homage to the JLC master control, which I would have preferred, but this is £5.5k cheaper at £110 so I went for the Sea-Gull. Should be arriving in a few days with a orient blue mako so looking forward to that as well.

If anyone wants cheap Rolex, Omega, G Shocks, reply here and I'll get.

 

Probably cost around GBP30 and they look great.

I have big wrists, will they fit or what?

[Ohjimmyjimmy]

Hang on a minute! No need to tag second hand puns to this thread...

[King Street Loon]

Can anyone recommend a reputable jeweller or company In which I can send my watch into get repaired?

 

It's a Tag, but really not sure on the best way to go a bout it or who to go to.

 

Cheers

I used the place below M & S. Did a great job. They send it away so it will take a few weeks but excellent service.
