Anyone into their Watches?

[Le S2 Audi]

I'm into my watches.... But £4K for one thats not solid gold is beyond my understanding....

I have Cartier that is solid 18K Gold and I paid less than that for it... Problem is with a watch like this - when is it safe to wear it!!!

A; NEVER so its stuck in a safe...

Cos of my dainty wrists... I can't/dont like to wear anything that is big and bulky so as a day to day watch I wear a Longines that was/is the worlds slimest watch...

Bought this off ebay for a few hundred quid after I saw it in Jamica and regretted not buying it ever since... But I saved a good few £100's....

theres plenty of peeps round here with gold on their wrists so heavy they cant lift their arms. perhaps its the track suit that helps.

Similar here.

I'm into watches, unfortunately I can't afford one. I stare longingly into the shop in town that is the Bell & Ross dealer. One day...

Hi Rob

[jubjub]

I am..

Had a couple recently,Omega and Breitling.
Sold the Omega for a 3rd more than I paid - still have the Breitling.

As mentioned some are pricey - to me anything over £1k is pricey.

Joined a watch forum to browse - some nice things come up for sale and indeed - some get sold within minutes. Other than people have a horological interest, what i have learnt is that having money tied up in watches is like having money in the bank.
Some people if they had the cash would fritter it away - if the have it in a watch/es
the cash is still there but as an item.
Most reasonable brands appreciate too

Proper Old School!!

I think it is to do with the appreciation of the engineering that goes into a good quality watch.

In the same way as say a dull car will get you to work, as a 99p Casio will tell the time.

Not to mention the investment of some sports watches.
