What watch do you wear?

[randomshenans]

Exactly. 15k isn't chump change. Its, even though you just bought me a Tudor princess I'll still kick your ass territory.

 

[dunker]

whatever is the most accurate, durable and cheapest under £50, if i wore a watch that would be my watch.

 

[Bear]

I'm with a few others on the fake debate
If you have a a genuine piece then getting a replica for those nights out on the town or whatever is perfectly fine.

Personally I still don't see the point, just wear the real one I wear mine no matter what I'm doing but then I'm not precious about my things, objects are to be used so I use them.

 

[mrk]

I know what you're saying but the level of clumsy of some people is very high

 

[dowie]

you could always get insurance... I mean if a good, realistic replica exists then its likely a fairly common mass produced watch - Rolex, Omega etc... just insure the thing and if the worst happens you can pick up a brand new identical one anyway.

I have this view as well.

I have this view as well.

And me, that's what insurance is for

I suppose it comes down to the individual. Some will put a bit more care into their things, some don't see the point. Not a huge deal to those I guess. I'd rather opt the insurance route, didn't think of that.

 

[Cyrus]

Yep I have all my watches covered under the all risks section of our home insurance

 

[mrk]

i have found it around 60 times, don't believe it got any more stiffer to wind, just the normal resistance. Should there be a strong resistance ?

I will see how long it last's now..

Sorry missed this. When winding it take note of the noise being made because once it's fully wound you won't feel much extra resistance but you will hear more clicks which indicates the mainspring is fully wound. You can't really over-wind it as the mechanism will not allow that to happen and it will just click through which are the extra clicks you will hear once it's there.

I just wound mine up to check again, needed around 50 turns I think, lost count as I got distracted by something else.

I don't wear a watch since I can see the time on my phone pretty easily and I'm not into wasting money for fashion reasons alone

I don't like wearing watches, but I have the following
Omega Seamaster 300m
Omega Speedmaster Professional

I just keep them for when I need to wear a suit or a tuxedo.
I don't wear them because the metal links get too hot; I am thinking of selling them and buying a white face Panerai on a brown strap, hopefully if I choose the right material it will keep relatively cool on my skin?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Metal links gets too hot? It'll never be hotter than your body temperature....

eh? I have an SMP and wear it all the time, even in a sauna and steam room 5 times a week. Never gets too hot

Could be a warning that you are about to spontaneously combust, if thats the case just send me your watches and ill give them a good home

 

[86JR]

Ok to put it better, I get hot and the watch gets tight, if I put another link in then it swings around my wrist when I am cold.

you need a new Rolex, with the glide lock system, allowing you to adjust the bracelet, in micro adjustments on the fly.
