This is either completely made up, a gross exaggeration, or it just needed a service.
And that is ignoring the fact that i cannot imagine you can buy a working Rolex (although i suppose his didnt work
) for only £2k.Watches

They're COSC certified upon production and when they are serviced. It doesn't mean it will keep time if you fail to service the watch or if it develops a fault.
That's actually one of the nicest looking watches I've seen for a long time.
It's a quarter to troll.
I think people who spend thousands on PCs are a bit crazy seeing they are worthless and outdated in an instant but you don't see me preaching about it. It least if you spend wisely on a premium watch you'll always see a decent bit of money back on it, same can't really be said about computer hardware.
Most children seem to think that.
Well thanks for providing an answer to the OPs question.

I got a seiko with the 7S26 movement. Plenty of them about in all styles. It's nice, good to have a 'real' watch with a real movement. No battery or manual winding required either.
So true, People spend £100s on graphics cards to get an extra FPS !!
My dads rolex is around 25K now, only got it for around 9K

Take a look at the Citizen range. I have 2 Eco-Drive watches, and really prefer the look and feel over the Seiko stuff of the same price

Agreed, the Citizen Eco-drive range also has a very good reputation and should fit in with your budget.

I may have got the £2k wrong, it might have been £3,000.
Yes, that's better, £3k watch that can't keep time and needs adjusting on a weekly bases.
Servicing? Ha! It was brand new. It is a total joke if a new watch require servicing this early.
30s a week is unacceptable, I wouldn't accept it from a £20 Casio (it would go straight to the bin, why would anyone accept it from something that costs thoudands? The only reason people accept that is the badge.
The car analogy is flawed because a porsche not only comes with the prestige, it also comes with performance that a Kia doesn't have. A watch not accurate is like a car constantly stuck in reverse, as good as it looks on the outside, as much as you can admire its workmanship, it is useless.
A working accurate rolex can be worth and justified for whatever you want to pay for it.
A watch that loses 30 seconds a week. Chuck it in the bin.
It REALLY irks me when someone gets out their phone every 5 minutes to check the time. It's childish, anti-social and annoying. Wrist watches are instant, discrete, highly functional, and if you want them to be, stylish, and traditional.
