Because someone was moaning on the "Good Watch" thread that it wasn't about watches, here we go-

because I am a child of the Apollo years and many of my heroes wore one whilst they did there steely eyed missile man stuff, I lust over one of these-

I have a Chinese (Olevs) "almost" exact copy of the Rolex Submariner which cost me about £40 it looks just like the real thing and keeps good time.

Thats as close as I will ever get to owning one, so that does me perfectly, I rarely go anywhere anyway so it doesnt sit on my wrist for long.

Im a sucker for the new white Speedy!

I actually have a watch YouTube channel if anyone is interested  :wink:

You can often see the stfc colours represented!

I haven’t worn or owned a watch for over 30 years.

I am by no means a watch fan but I will subscribe to you sir to help your followers along :)

I have a Pixel watch.

True story...

Watches are useful.

Much appreciated Peter!  :D

I met a mates new GF last night.  She works in the harrods watch department.  Cheapeast watch is £1700.  They go up to £79k.  And then the mysteroious 'price on application'.

She was telling me about a new one coming out that is 700k.

I'd expect it to do more than tell me the time for any of those prices.

What does a £700k watch get you in that London?

A tap on the back of the head with an baseball bat or a knife to the midriff....

Late again Aud.

Probably a Richard Mille, if i was to take a guess. Huge ugly things that look like Ferrari engines on your wrist. They're popular with American rappers

Jeez, if I was spending 700k I'd want to be able to live in it.

My watch is a bit of a Trigger's broom. Have a Carrera Tag which i bought in the states over 10 years now. (It was the cheapest one I could get) Its in perfect nick aside from the 3 strap changes :)

I used to work for a company that had the marketing databases for several large companies, one of which was Patek Phillipe. One of the names on their database was the Sultan of Brunei, so always assumed they were quite good (and expensive) watches

Well I've just bought a Garmin Fenix 8 (which is over £800 on Amazon) for £208 off Aliexpress... Hopefully it turns up :D

Absolutely love this - will give you a sub and watch a few

Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy!
