Who owns a luxury watch

[Simbo]

I own an omega planet ocean and breitling super avenger

Which planet ocean?, what size.

 

[Andy808]

I never wear a watch. Mainly because I have rediculously big wrists and I haven't found one that fits so I don't bother with one.
It's a lot less hastle now I have a phone on me all the time.

It would only get damaged banging on the ground

42mm planet ocean as it's my day watch not to heavy and the breitling is 48.4mm ways a ton

I was looking at a 42mm PO 8500 last month. Very nice watch. I've got a Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish at 44mm which is more than big enough for me. Your Avenger must be fookin massive.

Always fancied a Tag Huer but never bothered following it up, own a Skagen and its classy and slim

Bought an Emporio Armani watch when i got my first job 12years ago and only changed the battery once, Bloody love it.

I've since bought a few nice watches, the most recent being a Hublot Big Bang 44mm. Beautiful watch, just sent for its service to Switzerland with a turn around time of 4-6 weeks!! So bare that in mind like said above!

Back in the 1960s, PanAm pilots were issued with Rolex GMT Masters as part of their uniform and in the early 1970s I was presented with an Explorer II when I qualified. I wore it every day up until the mid 2000s when it stopped working. I took it to a Rolex dealer to have it repaired and he was overly keen for me to trade it in for a new watch. I had only recently got the internet, so I did a bit of research and found out that Steve McQueen had owned one and they were now extremely collectable. I decided to have it overhauled and then took it to another dealer who offered me £10k for it on the spot. I found the original paperwork and in 1971 it had cost £220. I still have the watch, and do still wear it occasionally.
For those who say they are expensive, I used to smoke about 40 cigs a day, and when I quit, I put the money I would have spent on fags in a jar, and within a year I had enough to buy my current Rolex Datejust.

It is massive so heavy it's almost half a pound

All that highlights is that fact cigs are also expensive

I don't own a luxury watch ( I would if I could).

I have a Mappin and Webb that cost about £300.

I've been down the luxury route but failing eyesight has meant they've ended up at the back of several drawers. After going a couple of years without a watch I spotted a Skagen. Plain, unfussy face and easy to read even though its not massive.

What's a luxury watch?

I have a Raymond Weil watch that Mrs H bought me as an engagement present, it cost about £500. If that counts as a luxury watch then the answer is yes

Rolex done a similar thing with Comex years ago with the Submariner. Some of their divers picked them up for a couple of hundred quid. Now worth something in the region of £50,000!

Yep according to some, Rolex aren't just watches, they are an investment. Iv been looking on chrono24 at second hand ones but I'm a bit wary about spending that kind of money online. Anybody bought from this site???As for the submariner, a new one is a bit out of my price range.

As for you guys that don't understand luxury watches- get off my thread!! Lol, some folk with a 10 grand watch probably can't understand why you spend £1000 a year on golf fees to trek round for 5 hours in the pouring rain, then moan like a bitch when you come off the course- swings and roundabouts!

You don't say where you maybe he's worth a ring.

[macca64]

Got a Tag, got it abroad somewhere, about £300 cheaper than over here,

 

[FN2]

Brietling is a quartz it costs around £125 for a new battery as it has to go back to Switzerland

Or the Breitling UK service centre in Tunbridge Wells...

I love watches and have a few, but only one expensive one. It's a Tag Carrera.... It's Automatic and I love it. Tried a few and this won over the square Monaco (Steve Mqueen)... My nan left me some money and I saved a bit.
I treasure it... See it as something I can pass on.

I've got a Monaco, don't wear it enough though. Wear a bi-metal Rolex submariner daily. For smarter use I've got a gold day date on a president bracelet. I've also got a sea dweller, but I've not worn it since they released the deep sea version.
