Fusée-and-chain transmission with 636 moving parts

My wife bought me one of these for my birthday last Oct, I love it.

 

[Macster]

Thats a big fave of mine too Drawboy, my old man has one, amongst his arsenal of timepieces.

This is high up the list too......

Never been a fan of Bell & Ross, but that's a real pretty face x

Tag's and Rolex are £36 down Petaling Street

 

[USER1999]

36 quid, you was robbed. I can get them in Hong Kong for less than a tenner.

That said, the tosser who nicked my gold omega got it for nothing. Bargain.

But do all these cheap counterfiets preform like the real ones?

When I lived in Spain it always amazed me that holiday makers buying these fake crap watches from lucky lucky men, it was either the watches or some dancing flower.

oh absolutely,

one of the more senior people here bought a Rolex. when it stopped working a week after he got back he sent it to Rolex with a letter of complaint! (why does British Industry suffer - 'cos we've got pratts like that in charge!)

oh, and apparently Rolex gave it the hammer test.

This badboy even has a stopwatch. Classic!

A few years ago my then sales manager went to Tenerife on holiday and I asked him to bring me back a snide Rolex. He gave it to me when he got back and it really looked the business. Couldn't tell it from a new one.
Wore it a couple of days later to the golf club. Stood on the first tee, gave the ball an almighty smash and felt something go on my right wrist. Looked down and all that was left of the watch was the strap and case. The glass and all the innards had flown across the tee....

 

[drawboy]

Something to aspire to at around 17-18 grand.

 

[bobmac]

it really looked the business.

Was it this one Rob?

I got my Rolex for $5 in Bali a few years back. It worked a treat - the bloke I haggled with assured me it was absolutely genuine - but it went just a wee bit rusty! I loved it. Unfortunately, it went with a load of other stuff when we got burgled. I still haven't worked out who turned out most upset - me or the bloke who nicked it?
