He might be a pilot.. :-)

All pilots are cunts.

Glorified bus drivers, innit?

Boring as fuck as well. If we had any on here I bet they would be dullards.

We did have at one time, didn’t we? From memory, he was okay. He'd have been a happy bunny a few days back.

A consummate professional plying her trade for the good of all mankind. One of my favourite flight videos stored to bookmark and a little overcooked but stay with it. Every time I see a pilot I bend of the knee and is it any wonder we all clap when they land. Articulate beyond belief and my dream job if ever I was clever enough.

I wonder why you have that video bookmarked?

I’d forget any Rolex models unless you want a bi metal date just as ALL gents stainless steel models (sorry ,’oystersteel’) are unavailable to walk in customers.
You’ll be waiting up to a year for a steel date just and without a significant (20k plus) purchase history from an AD you simply will not get a sports model (submariner, gmt II, air king etc).

Spend £4550 on an omega seamaster 300m (google it) and save the remaining 5k.
It’s a true wear anywhere watch, with probably the best movement of any watch below Patek.
You will not regret it not fair warning when you’ve had one you’ll find yourself wanting another in a year or two.
I’m lusting after a new planet ocean or aqua terra at the moment.
Trying very hard to resist.

I'm lusting after this Irish girl who's just walked past me and the thought of my missus cutting my bollocks off has made it dead easy to resist.

Think she had a swatch on, just to keep it on topic...

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

Any suggestions?

To be honest, the fact you need to ask what watch with a 10k budget means you don't need a 10k watch.
There are loads a reasons why people buy expensive watches, but spending that much without knowledge of why is a good reason not to waste your money...

€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.

The Casio Duro is a cult classic. Fantastic watch for the money.
