Chesterfield Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Horses for courses. Without wishing to portray myself as a fat Gok Wan, it also depends on the person and their wrists. My watch doesnt look that OTT on my wrist in my opinion as I have quite large wrists, but on my brothers it most certainly does - so his watch is different.

Stew Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 My Dad recently bought a new Rolex (before the price increase that I mentioned in the previous page) and it's not really to my taste being gold with a gold face and diamonds. Too bling for me HOWEVER it suits him. It still felt nice on though! Although I'd rather have had a 370Z...... Watches are a personal thing. My Dad wouldn't wear my Tag as it's not to his taste.

lomoto Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 ALL these watches (bar possibly the B&R) are SO over the top, in your face and awfully ostentatious! How can you take any of them seriously? Bought myself a lovley Rado a few years ago. Subtle, plain, classic... lovely... Nahhh ...the Rado doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, as for the ostentatious point, your driving a 350z FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Raymond Weil in my books.... Good quality great looks and not copied by every Tom dick and Harry. He says that whilst wearing his Armani watch but my next one will be a Raymond for sure. +1 worn my Raymond Weil everyday for 10 years and still love it.

slimjim Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Nahhh ...the Rado doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, as for the ostentatious point, your driving a 350z FFS I think (and pretty sure most bods would agree) the 350 isn't ostentatious! Specially standard as mine is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 The latest addition to my collection is my Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk A-T Titanium, its super light and has lots of cool features.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbhp Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I looked at buying the same Tag but agree that it feels a bit lightweight and dare I say it, 'cheap'. Went for the Omega Planet Ocean in the end. A fair bit more expensive but 10x better quality. It's a once in a lifetime purchase (for now...) so worth spending a bit if you can afford it. Break down the cost over 20 years and it doesn't seem so bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 got this, cost less than £80 not into spending shedloads on a watch but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Missus just bought a supposedly "new with tags" watch for her mum off ebay. Only a cheapo £30 job (should be £50 new). When it arrived it has clearly been worn for some time as the plating is wearing off the clasps and shoulders, and the battery is dead, making it at least two years old Id guess. I really cant abide people who are dishonest on ebay. bloody annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Never really been ripped off before, its always been fairly useful and weve dealt with honest people previously. First time in all the time Tracy has been using it that weve been sticthed up and purposefully lied to. Oh well, complaint raised and hopefully we will get someone with half a brain at paypal to see weve been had and get the money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
