In other threads we have been informed on what members might or might not up-size, down-size or stay-size with for their next automobile purchase.
Now, may I ask which watch you won't buy next.
In my case, if I singled out one watch manufacturer, it is the revolting Armarni watch range which represents fashion over quality - you?
-
I am not too keen on Casio and Swatch watches as well as those Armarni ones.
-
Timex, every time I've ever owned one it has lost time, gained time or broken down completely within a month of getting the damnable thing :angry:

I HATE fashion watches, £600 for a cr@p watch just because some designer sticks their name on it.

Mickey mouse with moving hands,the last one I owned kept awful time :grin:

I've not worn a watch for over 3 years. My battery needed replacing just before we went away on holiday and it needed sending away, so I thought it would wait until we got back. When we got back, I found I'd not really missed it and have not worn one since.
It's actually quite liberating.

I think swatch watches are good value for money tbh - do they still use eta movements as per TAG etc?

Not sure what Swatch use but they own Omega and Longines..

My first luxury watch is a Tudor hydronaut and has been wearing the same watch for 10 years+. I works my socks off to save up to buy watches that I really fancy and will not lose too much money when I need to sell! That's why I stick with Patek and Rolex only.
Last year I got both black and white face Daytona SS. I also bought the old 36mm explorer 1
This year I bought a 5127g calatrava and 5711r nautilus.
My grail watch is 5960p which is way out of my league!

Show us a photo of the Tudor please ? :cool:

Anything that costs more than £300! If you spend money on mods, hopefully your car gets quicker, safer etc., spend it on hi-fi & you get to hear more of your favourite music.....spend 5k on a watch & time stays the same :wink:
-
Steve,
I'll post pictures of the Tudor when I get home after work!
I suffer bad OCD with my car and watches. After I detail my car and finish it off with Zymol field glaze, I use the same stuff on the watch which makes it shines like hell when the sun hits the metal links! Worst thing about wearing good looking watches is sometimes you keep looking at your wrist rather than the road ahead!

A Storm apparently!
Especially if bought by a bird with size 9 feet! :laugh:
-
lol well, keeping this off topic chat on topic in the wrong section; i wouldnt buy a storm watch, no idea why just dont like the idea of it. I will buy a TAG grand carrera at some point, its a selfish life goal :smiley:

I have a TAG too but don't consider the brand as top-end anymore however the Grand Carrera is a very nice watch indeed and puts them back up there with the big boys imho (although not the proper boys)

When i do venture out of the model specific sections (Mk1, Mk2, Mk5, Mk6) i end up wanting to leave the forum...

Same same here mate , but havent got round to useing Dodo SN yet on the the GMT ceramic :grin: But I do use Cape cod for polishing the scracthes out works a treat !! :wink:
Shame Can't remember how to post picture here!
Nice GMT.
It takes less time to clean a watch than cleaning cars!

Very tidy lovely watch :wink:
-
Thanks Steve!
I just graduated from uni and I can't afford a Submariner. That Tudor is just within reach.
I was tempted by a TT GMT but I am resisting any further purchase and concentrating back to cars in the next few years!

Tudor's are very nice , when you put your rolex in for a service they loan you a Tudor for 6 weeks :wink:
-
Agreed esp. older Tudor. The mechanicals and even the bracelets are literally the same with Rolex watches. Tough watch---still keeping good time despite I haven't service it-maybe this year! Not sure this is still the case with current models!
-
i dont think i will be buying another watch at any time soon. i love my watch and in my eyes it the best looking watch there is.... :cool:
if i see another i like more i will buy it, but i doubt i will move brands from omega
