what expensive watch would you like or do you have?

[mindermummy]

Thinking of getting an expensive watch, not sure what to get.
Like gucci.

Anything else nice??

Where is good to buy them??

I have an omega. I'm really happy with it and it is a well known make. DH bought it for me for having ds.

How much do you want to spend? Do you like delicate or chunky? Metal or leather straps?

Mine is from Next. £15!

Cannot see the point in an expensive watch.

I have a Hamilton watch, the same one that Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffanys. Bought it ten years ago in America for £130, never gone wrong.

Consider that a bit of a good buy as I've never had to replace it - just bought a new battery for £3 every couple of years.

Not hi-tech in any way, no date/light or anything - just the way i like it.

Im not sure how much o spend; maybe a few hundred.
I would like a delicate one with metal strp.x

DP bought me a Cartier for my birthday, quite old but looks lovely! (& v accurate)

I'd love a Tag Heuer

i would have a cartier tank watch.

for DH, a tag hauer.

IRL, i have a Swatch with a leather strap i found lying in Inverleith Park and a stainless steel Timex with a blue face i've had for the better part of a decade and DH has a Timex Ironman.

Not remotely bothered tbh.

As long as it tells the time that's all that matters imo.

In fact I haven't worn a watch for years.

I've got a Dior one. Its lovely.
I'm not even going to say how much it cost although I didnt actually pay for it myself.
I love it though, had it 3 years and never take it off.

I've got a cartier tank and i love it.

I have a vintage Cartier watch I inherited from my Grandmother. It is a lovely rectangular platinum and diamond confection. Problem is, it is so lovely and special (let alone worth a lot of money) that I rarely wear it.
I have a very nice Rotary silver watch that I wear every day - about a modest £250 quid but that is quite a bit for me and I love it as my DDs both chose it for my 30th

I've got a Pequignet that I got for my 18th. I rarely wear it though

I have a Omega, just like bond. Still looks as good as new three years on.

I'm with Collision! I think it is a pointless way to spend money and just one more expensive item to take care of/worry about.

I have a £20 watch from M&S; it's great. Can't get at all excited about expensive watches...is it a status thing?

I have a gucci as well - dp bought it for my christmas present about 3 years ago now. It is plain and goes with everything .. I love it! That said, if I were to go and spend that sort of money on myself I don't know what else is out there to compare.

I have a v.expensive watch that was a present. It is very beautiful (posh watches are like jewellery - what's the point of a diamond after all?), but has gone wrong twice and each repair has been 250 pounds and taken 3 months. If it goes wrong again it is going straight in the bin.

I lurve this but it's not gonna happen.

I've got a Cartier Santos which I love and never take off. Oddly enough it keeps rotten time. It's an automatic watch and I think I must not have enough natural electricity or something.

For posh I've got an inherited gold omega thingy which is as ugly as sin but does the job.

ooh i like that one winebp, i get through about 2 watches a year

hopefully not at that price, southeastastra

I'm hoping for a small inheritance or lottery win.

vintage cartier. My mum has one that i covet.

How do you "get through" two watches a year SEA? I mean do you start gnawing them on the Queen's birthday or something? I've had the same watches for years and years ...
