Wearing a Fossil and have around 20 of them.

I wonder if you people who buy unnecessarily expensive watches (etc) realise the psychological reasons behind it... it might be worth looking it up and learning something about yourself.

Mine was to mark a significant birthday (30) so that's a good enough reason for me.

Does is have stripes on it ? ;-)

Currently wearing a Fossil myself. Really quite like it.

 

It is a big heavy watch, but that is exactly what I wanted.

I don't buy them, other people buy them for me My normal watch is my Polar heart rate monitor circa £30.

 

In defense of people who do like to buy nice watches, that normally are expensive, I have to say, for me it's more about the craftsmanship than the bling. Anyway you're a 40 something driving around in a flashy sports car - bet there's loads of info about what that says about you and your genitalia.

Just recently I've started collecting pocket watches and have a very rare one-off Art Deco pocket watch with a matching chain.

I'll try to post some pictures of it because it really is a work of art. 

 

I would like to see that - I like art deco.  

[KurtVerbose]

I used to have one of these.

 

 

But then I went digital.

I have a submariner that I wear all the time and it's a little scratched now. (For coco's reference it has the gold stripe). I also have a skeletonised vacheron constantin tourbillon watch. Just because I like to look at the guts of it. It's very impressive craftsmanship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have a watch...

 

 

there is very few I like but I am very very picky and cant afford or justify any of the watches I like.

 

I always thought that I might get something nice for my 30th but looking at my current situation and the fact that its not that far away it will have to be my 40th. I do hope that I make it that far

Fair play, bet that is worth some cash

Love to see a photo of that, they are my all time favourite watch.

A Garmin 920XT, and that's only when I'm either running or cycling. I prefer my wrists naked.

Really? Have you taken a look at how dirty, scruffy and home made my car is? I don't think anyone could say it's flashy, except maybe a blind person!

Mondaine stop to go (original)

 

Not flashy or expensive but cool and rare.

This is my latest acquisition 

[nyssa7]

Omega Constellation bought in 1991, very slim, complete antithesis of the chunky Rolex. And worn with the face on the inside of my wrist so no one can see it😎 Allegedly not a standard model, the one with diamonds surround usually comes with plain white face, the one with the day/date "chrono" style dials came with the plain surround. On asking in the shop if I could have the combination I got, they telephoned Omega, the guy came back all serious and said they could do it, but it would be an extra fifty quid! Without getting into the pricing, the extra fifty quid was pretty insignificant Do fancy the Omogolato Martini style watch but haven't figured out why I would need a second watch 🤔

[nyssa7]

And the picture didn't come out, oops
