Who owns a luxury watch

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.

No it's not meant to be the case at all and I don't like aspersions being made about me like that. It's extremely rude.

Quite happy for you to ignore me.
 
Can we go back to watches as opposed to a character assassination please

Cheers

I suggest you investigate the 'Ignore' function!
 
Im going to buy my first 'luxury' watch secondhand later this month. I've saved my Xmas money like a good boy but cant decide between an Omega PO 42MM 2500, Seamaster 2554 or Speedie Pro 3570.50. Everytime I think Ive made my mind up I change it again.

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.

This chimes with me (sorry) - I haven't worn a watch for maybe 20yrs. Used to work with a group of guys who'd spend lunchtimes over a pint comparing and contrasting their watches - and going on about how much they cost and were worth. I found it all rather showy and shallow I'm afraid. But each to his own.

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

You wear shoes, you wear watches. Different styles of shoes, different style of watches.

I can't get my head around why anyone would want 1 watch and one pair of shoes.
 
If "how much they cost and were worth" is the main issue they are discussing then it could be seen as shallow. My watches are not expensive, prob about £300 each, but they still give me the enjoyment that's been discussed.

I wear different types of footwear depending on conditions outside and what I'm also wearing.

I have one watch - I wear it sometimes but most of the time I don't bother as I have other ways of telling the time so it's not needed. Shoes are needed though. I used to have loads in the RAF but got rid of them all - I now have one pair which I wear with trousers or a suit or if I'm going out. Other than that I wear trainers.

I have a G shock that I wear when our running as it has a stop watch, I have a run of the mill watch I wear to work and a nice watch for when going out somewhere nice like weddings, dinner etc.

Can you see why your 1 watch statement is a bad generalisation and why some posters have reacted to your posts?

If you are going to make such sweeping statements you will get a reaction

I'm afraid so - and they are my sole experience of Omega, Rolex, Tag Heuer etc owners/wearers. I got a gold semi-automatic Rotary watch from my folks for my 21st birthday (so let's say >30yrs ago). Cost £200 - I had to find that out as I got it stolen - so a lot back then. A simple, unpretentious and elegant little watch that I do rather miss. Pretty much like this one

If I still had it I'd probably wear it.

My one watch statement is just my opinion and not any statement of fact - I asked a question on why anyone needs more than one watch and people have given me their own explanation

Is it no longer possible to have an opinion or ask a question ? Are people that precious or defensive about having more than one watch?! I didn't say it was a crime or anything or suggest anything about people who have more than one so I really can't see what exactly is the problem that has made a few people jump down my throat.

I have one watch - and you can't understand that ? That one watch covers every occasion when I would need a watch

I can understand it, merely highlighting the flip side to your "opinion". It's not your "opinion" that's the problem its the tone you use, like the tone you use in this post.

Chill out a tad, you'll enjoy the place more.

The tone I'm using is defensive because of certain posts aimed at me all because of proxy watches.

I'm an extremely chilled person don't worry :thup:

Trainers? Oh dear. Sports shoes should be for sports.
