I don't understand why you people pay hundreds of pounds for a watch which does the same job (most of the times) as a cheapish Seiko. I think its all about showing off to others or to youself. I would go as far as to call you $uckers.

Here's mine:

Very funny

(actually I think that's rather beautiful.. although I'd forget to wind it every morning!)

I do that sometimes too but it strains my arms a bit (you've seen the wrists) carrying my pc and monitor down the street, and the power cables are never quite long enough.

^ Is the glass convex?

I would have thought that it would scratch easily with the glass sticking out...

It is, however it is made from what Tag call "scratch resistant sapphire" and i believe them, I've clipped the face of it on wall before and it didnt leave a mark at all.

Got it a few years ago. Made me brush up on my addition skills quite quick.
It also looks considerably nicer in person than it does in the picture.

It's the Tissot Ballade, not sure about the model number. You can get it from www.thewatchut.co.uk in Blue and white dial variations but I wanted it in Black. I also really like the Le Locle watches Tissot do.

Try amazon; I've got the blue face one from there, they might have the black dial.

So do I. However...£1500 on a watch just seems rude! I badly want one but I can't explain why. I feel weak!

Discounts available I take it, I might well wonder around and see if I can find a dealer tomorrow, my bonus is just crying out to be spent on something...
