Do you wear a Watch?

Utterly love watches. I own 8 watches, 5 of them being G-shocks (I have a G-shock Fetish). None of them are worth more than £100 atm as I don't feel the need for an expensive one. Think my next buy will be a Suunto Core.

I've got 5. A Breitling, Longines, Victorinox, Tissot and a Detomaso that I bought for £30 from eBay which I probably wear more than the others.

no , waste of money expensive watches , cheap watch tells the same time , more expensive one on your hand leads to more chances of getting robbed

Three watches: 15 yr old Seiko worth about 10p, a Kahuna surf watch (5p) and a Garmin S1 device.

This is my watch a Ronde Solo Cartier. Always wanted a nice watch and when my gran died 6 years ago, I bought it then and thought it would be a classic style she would have liked.

Nothing looks better with a nice suit, new shoes and a lovely shirt and tie than a mobile phoneAw. Bless. The innocence of youth

I've got a Casio cheapy for general wear, an analogue cheapy (can't remember the make) for work wear and a Longines mechanical for special occasions that I had for my 21st, not many of those these days. Makes the Longines 31 years old and it still looks great, though very small compared to todays larger watches.

I have a gold mechanical Tissot Seastar Seven from the seventies, keeps perfect time once wound and looks lovely too. I inherited it from my Dad when he passed away. I'll give it to my Son when I go, although he'd probably prefer a phone or whatever gadget is out when I've gone, betcha the Swiss watches are all still working and keeping perfect time then.

i've got tag link, 9years old , 1 battery, its been 30m under the red sea a couple times no probs!!
I have a Seiko one given to me as a present from my parents and so it has more sentimental value than anything now they've gone. HID bought me a reasonably priced Accurist for every day use and I have a Ted Baker fashio one for when I go out on the razzle. Never been a big fan of "proper" watches and paying big money. I understand why people do, some of them look awesome, but it just isn't anything that has really got my pulse racing

I have a gold plated omega 1960s dress watch, an old stainless 1960s omega seamaster auto which needs servicing, a newish longines auto, and a seiko sportura steel strapped watch for playing sport, and golf. I had a beautiful solid gold cased omega dress watch, but it got stolen when we got burgled.
My dream watch is a vacherin Constantine patrimony in rose gold. Only about 14k, so might have to wait on that one. May be for my 50th. If I don't need a new car.

I think you may struggle to find one for £14k, They were over £20k when I was browsing in waches of switzerland. My choice would be Audemars piguet royal oak or panerai luminor
