Now it's getting interesting

Aye makes a nice change from posts which say "OH IT ONLY COST £1,000,000" or "look at my posh expensive watch" - aka: willy-waving.

Weird, I nearly started a thread with the same title because this morning I received a rock concert on DVD that I've been waiting 33 years for (yes, it was shown in 1973 on BBC2).

I'm more interested in your DVD. What was it?

Erm nice watch by the way

Nice watch. Personally I like the new Tag:

Yes, I know Tag are crap blah blah

Incidentally, for all you watch lovers this months GQ comes with a big watch guide. 80 odd pages of all the new watches.

Oh yay another watch thread.

Good watch though.

I do really want a Explorer II

It's a nice piece, very understated and hardly gets a glance.

I don't like the Daytona though, just never liked the style of it at all I'm afraid. But I'm pleased you're happy with it.

I much prefer the non chrono version of the Planet Ocean. Orange works surprisingly well.

Very nice watch! I'd love to buy a proper watch, love the engineering and quality. Personally i'm a Breitling fan. Enjoy it.

All the rolex's I have seen look boring and generic, certainly don't look exciting or original. Also practically all the girls I have dated think they look tacky espicially the gold watchs. But hey if you like it then thats what matters!!

Giddy · 14 Oct 2007 at 09:04

Excellent choice, it's the one Rolex that really does it for me, plus you got the best colour combo. Enjoy it

A rolex is many things, tacky is not one of them.

Have to agree with Feek, tis a great watch but the non Chrono looks much better

most of them arent, maybe the leopard Daytona is a little

Aod · 14 Oct 2007 at 16:17

sure, but for the price you pay for that, you can afford to change the opinions of the girls you're after with your wallet

silversurfer · 14 Oct 2007 at 17:15

Ive got one of those, only cost 20 quid, bargain!

Youstolemyname · 14 Oct 2007 at 17:23

One thing that has always bugged me about the daytona is the lack of date.

Im after a new watch soon. Kinda set on the stainless steel sub but am easily swayed towards others...any suggestions in the 2-4k market?

Sp!ke · 14 Oct 2007 at 18:26

Very nice, although I'm not a great Rolex fan I prefer Doxa (I know, no comparison really but they float my boat as it were)

Current watch £120 accurist

The Doxa will have to wait till the mortgage is paid off in a couple of years.

You finally got that last elusive teddy bear!

damn!, you beat me to it hehehe

I personaly can't see why people would pay more than £20 - £30 for a watch. I never wear one, I usualy just use read the time from my mobile.

I really dont remember the last time i even wore a watch :eek:

Its not a bad looking watch but it looks rather plain to me and just can't figure out how its worth £5100 ? is it made out of expensive metal like titanium or platinum or ..? im guessing the gubbings inside are pretty good which adds to the price aswell being a rolex.
