Gentlemen's watch

[oraclesmith]

I just go by what they look like, after all if you just wanted to know the time you can look on your mobile.

The last time I bought a watch I looked at all the expensive brands and actually I don't like them. For example the Tag watches are ridiculously chunky and Rolex are just too dressy. I searched for ages for something I'd be happy with.

In the end I went for an Emporio Armani rectangular chrome/black number. It only cost £200 and looks great.

I have a Tag Which I wear about two days a year, I much prefer my cheapo chunky £50 Divers watch with the large digi display, it means I don't have to put a pair of reading glasses on to see the time in dim light. (the backlight on watches is carp)

The typical scenario for me wearing a watch is when going on holiday as I tend to leave the mobile switched off. Saves me having to tell work to go swivel if they think about bugging me.

My current watch is a cheapo Argos sports jobby with a rubber strap. Ideal for those times when you end up in the pool or sea fully clothed and paraletic.

Raymond Weil Tango - with the resin strap.

Currently have a TAG but getting a little bored of it.

I would like a Breitling but I will have to wait until next year.

Maybe this is where I'm going wrong. I remember a mate's wife (after she'd bought him an expensive watch) saying women tend to look at a man's watch and shoes as a sign of wealth, and they all want someone that's got a bit of money.

I suppose it depends if I want to test drive a gold digger for a while or not.

Don't actually wear watches. but rather like this Romain Jerome:


Case made of satin-finished ceramic. pink gold and titanium. Black dial integrating recovered coal from the Titanic.

Probably costs a bit.

Rhubarb.

Exactly this is the only way I'd get a burd
