Grim O'Grady Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm not flash or flush enough to wear an expensive watch. My current watch is a Royal Engineer bomb disposal watch that I purchased on eBay for about 40 quid. that bomb disposal one- was it advertised "one careless previous owner"...? Comes with spare 2nd hand (still attached). Grimbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Some nice watches in here but this is my favourite so far. I'm catching the 9:12am train from Hamilton Central this morning, Bert; any chance you could drop this off to me for a shot? Damn shame I'm working today or I would have dropped it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Huh, I've never crossed paths with a man who wears Michael Kors, another thing I've to thank P&B for.I'd never heard of the guy till Mrs MJW bought me the watch for a birthday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 They are all a pile of shite, unless you've got an Omega, Rolex or Patek Phillipe, (maybe Breitling) I'd add Seiko to that list. They make some good quality watches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'd add Seiko to that list. They make some good quality watches. They're good but not in the same league as Rolex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob the tank Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I like Russian watches and have a few, but my everyday one is a Vostok Amphibian, automatic, waterproof and tells the time, does it for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm not flash or flush enough to wear an expensive watch. My current watch is a Royal Engineer bomb disposal watch that I purchased on eBay for about 40 quid. Probably cost about 1 quid and someone has slapped some Royal Engineer shite on it, waste of 40 quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint dave Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Love Seiko watches , got about 10 , always get them for Xmas , birthdays etc. Sportura was the first reasonably expensive watch ( for me ) The Tissot is my favourite dressy watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've got a casual watch, (black metal, does the job) and a fancy watch (brown leather). I find my wrist doesn't feel right without a watch. Unfortunately there are aspects of my new job which mean I can't always wear my watch at work, due to health and safety reasons, and I've started to find the constant taking on and off of my watch to get annoying so I've started not bothering taking it to work. I still find myself looking at my wrist instinctively if I want to know the time. I've also got a pocket watch, which I like but I so rarely wear a waistcoat (basically if I'm wearing a kilt at a wedding and that's it) it just sits unused 99% of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLANCY2KTID Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I've got loads of watches but majority of them were very cheap to buy as they always end up broken when worn to work. I have 3 Fossil chronographs as my "decent" ones. Although I fell in love with a Tag I saw in Argyll Arcade last week so the new goal is to save for that.

dave.j Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Mine was assembled in Yorkshire from a case, hands and crystals made in Germany and a movement from Switzerland (decorated Unitas 17 jewel hand winding, caliber 6498 if anyone cares). saf.JPG About once a week I forget to wind it up but otherwise it runs like clockwork. That's beautiful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
