Debian Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Not a massive fan, but have a couple of fake Tag's. Did get a £8,000 Breitling for a wedding present, but too scared to wear it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzo Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Always liked u boat watches but I don't think I'd even folk out for one of them let alone a scary priced one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotunited Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Is it worth investing in an expensive watch? Obviously will look good and can last for years, but say for future value, do they keep value or a bit like a car, as soon as leaves shop, you can knock 1/3 off value.

Govanhill Jacobite Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Pawn broker is a good shout for good watches, Re good watches Rolex hold there value a bit better than Cartier but both cracking watches IMO, Robert Bigger in Glasgow is a good shout and get a half decent Rolex for about £1800 which will be worth about £5K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McTeeko Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Bought a Tag 1500 Series in Saks Fifth Avenue, NYC, on Hogmanay 1996 - still wear it to this day. It cost $550 back then and I've probably paid for it twice over through the years on replacement (leather) straps and 3 or 4 services.

kps022000 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have been wearing this for a few years now. Not into lots of spinning dials, I think it just looks too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodster Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I've not long started with watches, here are the random notes sitting in my Evernote: [ ] Tissot 516 GL [ ] Omega seamaster or speedmaster [ ] Rolex air king [ ] Bremont [ ] Longines [ ] Breitling colt or top time [ ] Suunto core military [ ] Eterna [ ] Panerai [ ] Vulcain Cricket [ ] Girard-Perregaux [ ] Jaeger Lecoultre memovox [ ] Vintage Heuer [ ] Patek Phillipe [ ] Jorg Gray 6500 pre commemorative Some names on that list I will never have enough money to own, but if I get a move up at work its a used Rolex Air King next.

Exglasgowasc Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I paid £495 just to have my Raymond Weil watch fixed in the summer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I like watches. Treated myself to a Paneria a few years back. Looks great, but like most things Italian, it's a bit temperamental and nae cheap to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Bought a Breitling for a tenner in Bangkok once. Lasted a year or so til the battery died then it exploded all over the jewellers when he took the back off it. Still, think how many holidays you could have for the cost of a real one...

IAteAllThePies Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Is it worth investing in an expensive watch? Obviously will look good and can last for years, but say for future value, do they keep value or a bit like a car, as soon as leaves shop, you can knock 1/3 off value.They keep it.I only have lower mid level watches. So far in my collection I have 2 Tissot, 1 Mondaine, 1 Longines, 2 citizen and 1 seiko. My next purchase will be a Tudor as they represent better value for money than rolex and to be fair, they're pretty much the same watch.

My favourite watch is; https://www.firstclasswatches.co.uk/mondaine-quartz-evo-day-date-a6673034411sbb-p-12038/?gclid=Cj0KEQiA0-GxBRDWsePx0pPtp4sBEiQACuTLNjLf8pV2YKxHfFNDE8534OrFH1_1ILz-QDbCk6ybxXMaAluo8P8HAQ Very simple.

IAteAllThePies Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I also have loads of cheap "dress" watches built over a fair period. Whenever I'm about to make a bigger purchase I always get a few in the 20 quid range to try out different styles, sizes etc before going to the jewellers to buy. This gives you an indication of what you want before hand. It works for me but another watch collector I know thinks it's a waste of time. I've had more comments on the following watch; http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012GPR18K/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1446617156&sr=8-3π=SY200_QL40&keywords=srozi+watch+extra+thin&dpPl=1&dpID=41GpKE5ZpBL&ref=plSrch Than I have on any my better ones. Generally wear that or one of many rotary watches I have for every day wear. Edited November 4, 2015 by IAteAllThePies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I fancied getting a new watch recently. Michty, what an eye-opener, the different styles out there and the prices charged for some of them. I particularly liked the idea of a wooden watch, but I don't think my budget stretches to one of these: http://www.coolhunting.com/style/valerii-danevych-wooden-watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Havent wore a watch for about 12 years at least. Have got a decent enough sekonda one sitting in a drawer that probably just needs a battery, would be ideal for daily use. Have been looking at getting a new one for nicer occasions as i'm about the only person i know that never wears one and I do like the look of a lot of them. Could never justify spending hundreds on one though. One of my mates must have about 15 decent watches all worth between £150-£800 or so, madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what age you think I am, or whst age you class a kid as haha. Since i was working i could always see the time on a screen or clock, and my phone in most cases so just never bothered witb a watch.

Toepoke Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Some truth in that. I still stick my watch on every day out of habit but these days it's almost impossible to not know the time if you don't wear one. Will wristwatches go the way of pocket watches?...
