You need one of these and then you will have a better selection to pick from at a far better price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Watches are the only item of jewelry that I would wear (hippy leather wrist thong thing apart). I own about seven or eight watches but these three are my favourites. Tag Huer 2000 series, a wee present to myself many years ago after landing a job that I really wanted. Seiko Kinetic pepsi bezel divers, gorgeous watch for everyday wear. Zeppelin Chronograph LZ127, Christmas present from wife great vintage styling.

alta-pete Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 A top quality Rolex is a good investment, as they hold their value. This bad boy certainly was. Cost me 20eu from a cool looking dude on the beach on holiday this summer. Definitely holding its value. And it hasn't missed a beat yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The best VFM watches come from Yorkshire. FACT! http://www.timefactors.com/ He buys Swiss movements and gets cases made for him in Germany then gets someone else to assemble them. I've had two of the chap's timepieces for about a decade and they are brilliant, unless you're a label whore. My first was a battery-powered divers watch which I bought when we lived in Aberdeenshire and I've just had the battery replaced, new seals installed and had it pressure-tested. I cleaned it and gave it to my son who loves it: The second is a hand-wound 'dress' watch which I wear most days. OK it can be a pain sometimes if I forget to wind it but it does have a display back so if I am bored on the train I can watch the wheels go round: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
