Owning a nice watch

[blueinsa]

It does look stunning. Can you post a pic or three after it arrives and you've stopped running around the room in excitement ? :)

I will lol

You can’t make Bond’s martini now.
The vermouth used was called Kina Lillet.
It was withdrawn because it contained quinine.
Its replacement is called Lillet Blanc.

I had some Vermouth in Madrid at the Real away match, never again, absolutely disgusting.

Stunning.

I fancy an Aqua Terra

I bought one about 12 years ago. I really wanted a Railmaster but they'd been discontinued and the Aqua Terra was the closest model to it.

No I've gone for that exact look, it's a hybrid rubber bellied strap with black alligator inlay and looks stunning.

That particular strap is wonderful. The look of leather, the comfort of rubber, you can wear it in water, and the deployant clasp on it is second to none.
You’ll love the planet ocean. Give me one of them over a Submariner (as a watch if not an investment obviously) any day of the week. A hugely underrated watch.

Very fucking tidy! enjoy every second you wear it mate, I’ve got a 30 odd year old Speed master pro moon watch which I wore for the first time in a few months today and I was still buzzing off it after all these years.

I've had one since our house was burgled about 10 years ago - the insurance company were insistent on giving me vouchers to use at a jewellers, as they get massive incentives. It worked in my favour, as they were pretty generous, so was able to get a much more expensive watch than the one that got nicked!
Mine is 45.5mm though, so a real beast. I do still wear it quite often, but these days I tend to buy watches from AliExpress that cost peanuts in comparison and I enjoy owning them just as much, because I can buy more of them!
Hope you enjoy yours!

In a vesper you wouldn’t know it was there!
Bond asked for 3 measures of Gordon’s, 1 measure of vodka and a half measure of Kina Lillet with a lemon twist.
Shaken of course.

That’s where I went wrong.

I'm slightly worried about the strap now with water as many online are saying it's no good for water use but why would Omega sell a Planet Ocean with a strap like this if its not meant to be used in the water?

Primarily it's a dress watch but I'd still like to take it on holiday and not worry about the pool etc and I'm just thinking get another rubber strap but it's another £260 without a clasp.

I saw an interesting thing recently on rolex. They use to be very expensive and produced in low numbers so rare.

They are now among the top selling brands. There are possibly casio models from recent years that are rarer than Rolex.

The mass production of high end watches is why the values are falling.

Not sure about that one mate,i think with money being tight Rolex owners are selling now as they think prices will fall further,i'm certainly not selling my SUB or my Deep Sea as prices will recover big time in my humble opinion in the not to distance future
