Who owns a luxury watch

[Deleted member 15344]

How many pairs of shoes do you have?

Are shoes comparable to watches - might as well ask how many pairs of pants do I have

I actually own one pair of normal shoes

See you're missing the point, that's on the cooker so I'd be a slave to the cooker whereas with my Casio watch on I have the freedom of the house, or even the garden if I feel that way inclined.

So you have one watch that you change when you get home just to cook pasta ?

No, I also use it as a timepiece, in fact it's used as a timepiece more often than to cook pasta (or rice).

It also has a stopwatch function and an alarm that get occasional use, but the "world-time" function which allows you to set the time in another country is pretty much wasted on me.

Always wanted a rolex, loved my dads one and always used to try it on as a kid dreaming of owning it one day.
Looks quite similar to some of the vintage datejust's they have on chrono 24. They go for around 3 grand so I may invest in one in the future.
Currently hardly wear a watch though, always forget to put it on, but I do have a nice TW STEEL one that I wear sometimes, but that's about it.

I used to own 6 watches. Now down to 3. I've got about 8 pairs of shoes though (not including golf shoes or trainers).

Something confusing you ?

I have got quite a few watches. Two 1960's Seamasters with rocker movements, Two Seiko divers watches, A Citizen Dive Master, 5 G Shocks, A Suunto, a Smiths military watch, a Swiss watch that my grandfather gave me and half a dozen others that I can't recall the specifics of.

I tend to wear a G Shock most days and vary them depending on how I feel. They are all different colours, some very bright! If I am in a suit then I wear one of the Seikos.

When the school fees stop, I will get back in to buying decent watches. I like the 1960's Swiss watches but would also like a Bell and Ross, a Jaeger Le Coultre GranSport Reverso, a Sea Dweller, a SuperOcean and a couple of ohers made from Titanium.


Just 1 watch and 1 pair of shoes makes LiverpoolPhil sound very dull.

Shoes? A nice pair of Churches for school and RN Williams boots for everything else. Check them out, buy a pair and you will not regret it. They are expensive, RN Williams are about £250 a pair, however my current ones are 12 years old and still going!

Dull because I have one watch and one pair of shoes ?

Well that's a new theory

I have an Omega Seamaster which replaced a Tag Heuer Link.
I understand what people say about the expense of premium watches, but I looked at it a different way.
What else do you wear every single day, for 10 years or more? And they always retain value.
I get a lot of enjoyment out of mine and I am glad I made the purchase.

Just curious to know how does a watch give you "enjoyment" as such ? Does it tell the time in a more enjoyable way ?

I enjoy looking at my watch. I like they way it looks on my wrist. I like the style and I like the comfort of the strap. This is the enjoyment I get from mine. If I had a luxury brand watch im sure this enjoyment would be ten fold.

Are you saying when you look at your Mickey Mouse watch and he's waving back at you you dont enjoy it?

But it's just a watch that will tell you the time - I mainly get the time from my phone. No Mickey Mouse watch for me

It's also a piece of jewellery! At least, for some!

Ok cool you don't get the same enjoyment from a watch as other do. It's the same as someone saying golf is just hitting a ball around a field.

That's cool - just curious that's all. Im definitely not a watch person ( even though I do like the one I have ) so wasn't sure how it could be enjoyable.

Your a wind up merchant thats what you are.

Excuse me ? I asked a question that's all - no need to throw insults about please

 

[mashleyR7]

Every post i've ever seen from you reads like an attempt to wind someone up, be argumentative and antagonistic. If thats not meant to be the case then i'm sorry, but from now on any post or question from you I will ignore.

Wow!

I bought a Seiko in Debenhams for £130 the other day - I didn't realise how smart I'd be if I'm in the Snelly mode!
