I’ve not worn a watch for 40+ years, as I hate the feel of them on my wrist. As a consequence, I think spending more than ten quid on a watch is absolute insanity.
watchwankersoftheweb is worth a follow on Twitter.

So I am planning to buy a watch within a 10k budget. Looked at Patek Philippe and they are expensive as fuck.

Any suggestions?

Have a look on YouTube, loads of watch review accounts on there. The Urban Gentry is a good one, loads of recommendations at different price points and styles eg dress watches, divers etc and in different styles and unlike some, he is independent and isn’t affiliated to a particular dealer.
At the price point you are talking about I would be looking at an investment piece. Some watches can appreciate in value significantly, even pre-owned. The trick is guessing which ones

My advice is to go onto askmen and read the watch snob and learn about watches..so much depends on what you want..the size of your wrist, your interest in the mechanism, appearance, and need to retain value to name but a few. A submariner is a great all round buy.

My old Citizen threw in the towel, so I'm now wearing one of these.....




€60 on Ebay. Changed the horrible resin strap for a jetson one from Barton for around €20. Accurate to within a couple of seconds a month. Not particularly ugly, in my opinion. Even if I won the lottery, I just couldn't imagine shelling out serious money on a watch.

If you're going to spend ludicrous amounts for something that just tells the time you're not seriously thinking of wearing it anywhere?
An investment opportunity perhaps but why spend 10k on a watch,to go diving, who the fucks gonna see it,nemo?
And what if you damage it,diving, sailing, whatever.

Great watch. I was going to get one a few years back. No longer available last time I looked. There's so much bull talked about watches. I have my dad's 60's Seamaster and a Maurice Lacroix but my work watch is a Casio. If you like it, wear it.

Waste of money unless you buy one which you are going to keep for a long time and has some rarity. I have a fairly pricey watch and never wear it as I’m too frightened of it getting damaged or some scrote wanting to nick it. Buy yourself a Seiko, it will last forever and you can spend your money on something you will actually use.
