to want one of these for my 40th birthday?

It is within the allocated budget but I don't spend a lot on stuff like this so it would be a big deal kind of present. I'm a bit worried it might date or be too gimmicky or that I might be too old.
I've posted on here so I'll get your honest opinions - warts and all!!

tbh I don't like it and don't think it will last the test of time like gold or silver
sorry!

Go to the shop and try it on. My dear sisters got me the bracelet for my 40th (!!! - no I am not really 40, I have stareted to go backwards so I am now only 38) and it does leave markes on my wrist (which is quite skinny).

I rather like it.

personally, I don't think it looks anything like worth the money. Sorry!!

No, don't apologise. Thanks for the input it's all good. I'm crap at choosing stuff. You'd think by 40 I'd have some kind of idea of what I like.
It's like style dyslexia.

I don't think you're too old, but I don't like the watch (I'm sorry!). I think cheap stuff is better because then you don't worry about breaking it/losing it/it going out of fashion. If you trash a £30 watch (like I put mine in the washing machine accidentally ), it is not the end of the world.

I feel the same about expensive stuff.
I think people feel a pressure to buy something significant since it's a big birthday but tbh there's nothing I really want.
My stuff is all cheap and cheerful.

I think it'll date tbh.

Well I'm going to buck the trend and say I really like it. I don't think it will date at all, i think it will probably become a classic.

I love links of london stuff, partic the sweetie bracelet.

Thanks folks

i like it. It's a bit different and you'll know your wearing an expensive watch even if no one else does.
I have an £800 diamond ring, I think it looks like it's from claires accessories but i don't care cos i love it!

I think it's a new classic too.

Gold and silver go in and out of fashion too, I don't think the style will date, it's quite clean and simple.

bloody lovely

I would definitely be looking at it in person to assess the quality - if the pc is anything like the stuff on Tag Heuer watches it splits and wears away within a couple of years. That doesn't matter so much with a Tag as you just replace but with the watch your choosing the strap is the cool, designery part of it right?

YAabsolutelynotBU, if that's what you want you should have it. I'd like a big fuckoff Cartier for 40th please!
