Show us your watches.....

[GreenLabel]

A luxury watch is a status symbol, the more people that know the make and that it's expensive the better.

Why would you buy an expensive watch to impress people who know nothing about watches other than that a Rolex is expensive?

I'd argue that you'd look more impressive if you'd bought a stylish watch that not only looks good, but isn't the mainstream, popular luxury brand that footballers wear.

Citizen eco drive, not flashy and doesn't need a battery ever

My very first pay check was spent on a Eco Drive, I loved that watch

[eek]

2 years I've had mine now. It likes to be worn though, sulks (stops) if I don't wear it for a day or two.

I do love it.

Its an automatic with a 36 or so hour charge. If you don't wear it, it will stop.

Personally I wear depending on mood:-

• a omega seamaster
• an ebel 1911 Chronograph (two tone)
• a Rolex milgauss
• a lefty Panerai Luminor
  
  as you can tell my hobby is watches. Thankfully being a contractor its a practical hobby.

I'm surprised he doesn't wear a Hublot Big Bang Manchester United Edition. Its about the same level of taste as your communal garden rolex.

Excellent news - I just thought it was a bit contrary

What like its owner?

Personally I think the gear tolerance is so sh!te that it needs your body temperature to expand the cogs.

Stop dissing the Thai watch

Sorry Russell, I have to agree with SimonMac.

The watch doesn't make the man.... any more than the car, the house, the boat or any other tulip!

How sad to be so materialistic

I'm not, I dont own a Rolex. Was making the point that if you buy a luxury watch its to show off, as they all tell the time from a cheap Casio to the most expensive Rolex.

Wrong. (imo)

A watch is one of the few acceptable forms of jewellery that a man can wear so why not spend some money on it?

Oh right... you need to work on that point making luvvie, you came across as a right knob.

Thankfully, I couldnt rep you down, which I was going to do, so at least I don't have to apologise for that.
