Watch Breitling or Omega

[jma]

Pointless devices now that everyone has a phone in their pocket.

They have become the make equivalent of what ludicrously expensive handbags are to women: owned in the hope that people notice them and think it 'says something about them', more than for any actual real purpose.

Fair play to the producers though. That something so mundane as telling the time has been so successfully branded on people's mind as a status symbol is testament to the power of marketing.

Pretty much. Most I ever spent was £175 on an Ellesse and I think that was too much.

Bought a cartier for £15.00 in Malaysia once, not sure if it was genuine though.

I bought a Polex for a tenner.

If you had bought a genuine Cartier watch, chances are you wouldn't have lost the 15 quid.

My next watch will be a Rolex Daytona.. just convincing the boss lady that they are an investment... I Believe they are if you can beat the waiting lists

A work colleague of mine got the stainless steel one last year (after waiting for over a year) and doubled his money on it straight away

A lad in my son's sixth form bought and sold high quality watches. He was driving a new BMW before he even left school.

Don't get it. Servicing for fucking watches????

There's loads of decent looking watches you can just stick a new battery in or get for £15 if you want one and you'll be able to change it often too if you get bored of it.

In a year or two everyone will be wearing phones on their wrists/forearm, so even less of a need.
