Bought a Drefyess & co from Ernest Jones about 4 years ago for 300 odd quids.. beautiful looking piece. Wore it everyday to work. Had to send it to EJ twice to have its battery replaced. Now it has died completely. EJ had a look and the diagnosis was - it needs a full service @ 200 quid!!!. Instead chose to send it to the Drefyess company to have a free look at it. Will know this week. Little wonder the high street is affected so badly, trying to rip everyone off..

Tag aquaracer and a citizen Eco drive for work.
I wear a Seiko Arctura Kinetic for everyday use, and have a Raymond Weil dress watch for special occasions.
I also have my granddad's solid gold Zodiac mechanical dress watch from the '40's.

Couple of Baume & Mercier Rivieras. The everyday one being 30 years old that was only 15 years old when I bought it.
Perfect level of elegance and functionality for me.
Slimline chronograph version is great but the white/silver is too hard to read for my eyes!
Solar powered Casio Wave Ceptor (Radio Controlled) for absolute accuracy and alarm, but only needed to change date on Rivieras.

I have a few.
My every day watch is a Limited Edition Frederique Constant Automatic. It’s one of only 96 made and can only be purchased at the world’s highest watch shop at the peak of Mount Jungfrau in Switzerland. It has “Jungfrau 3571m†engraved on the face. It was bought for me whilst travelling round Europe by my other half. I love it. I needs a clean though to be fair (and another service probably). This picture doesn’t really do it justice.
I also have another Frederique Constant Chronograph, which needs a new battery.
The rest of the collection include 3 x ESQ’s (Movado’s “cheaper†line) and a Maurice Lacroix Chrono.
Oh and a 24carat Gold Ebel dress watch that was given to me by my late Uncle.

Not unless I'm in an area where I need to tell the time, and there is no other accurate way of finding out. Then I'll wear my Suunto.
Day-to-day - the computer, my mobile, the car, the desk phone, the iPod dock, the microwave etc. all display the time. Besides I like to give these people who spend hundreds on a time piece a chance to show off their watches and tell me the time.

That is a nice classic watch Jon.:thup: I hate all the big over the top watches that most seem to love on here. My watch is a second hand Raymond Weil that I bought off ebay a few years ago. Never had any problems with it and a real bargain.
Oh and yes I do need a watch as I don't own a mobile phone.:mmm:

I'm quite surprised at some of the watches on her, but maybe I shouldn't be. I like watches, a lot. I only have 6, and I don't often wear them, but I like to have them and am always looking at new ones....... a bit like golf clubs.....maybe I was a magpie in a previous life..
Of all the watches I own, my fav and the one I wear most is a Casio Wave Ceptor - solar powered with atomic timekeeping. I have a Seiko kinetic that my wife bought me in Japan when we married 16 years ago, the rest are mostly sport types. I have my eyes on a couple of new ones, can't decide between the Tissot, Tag or Seiko Arctura, I like them all, but they're all a little down the list in my spending priorities at the moment......although the Acrtura is half price at the mo.....

Not hugely into watches but always like to wear one, just got a basic Pulsar one I got bought 5 years ago and actually like its understated appearance.

Here's my one, and only watch.
My folks brought me this for my 21st Birthday. Sentimental value is massive to me, but I never wear the watch. It's too heavy

I've worn a Tag for the past 20 years that I love but it's started going through batteries too often and they're not cheap. I've replaced it with a Citizen Eco-drive that has sapphire glass and is made from Titanium, it's bigger than my Tag but much lighter, I love it. I also have an Eco-drive suit watch that I've had for a couple of years that is very understated and smart.

I have a number of watches and normally wear one when I go out but not that often other than that. Trouble is that the batteries have gone in quite a few and I never find time to get them changed. Now I pretty much stick with a plain G-Shoc for everyday use.
