Damn you! I've just joined the pre-order queue.
I bet it turns out to be rubbish
decent dollar rate means it's only £300 down the drain......

- Remember that most mechanical watches will easily outlast the owner and some not only keep their value but appreciate over time.
- Part of the appeal for me is that it's NOT electronic.
- It's very reassuring to have something that is very well made and built to last, which is a luxury item and also beautiful to look at. Similar to owning a classic sports car.

Hmm, not bad.. but probably just me it looks abit old. Like the sort of thing you find covered in dust in one of your dads draws.

I can glance at my watch on the sly during meetings, getting my phone out just to look at the time would send out the wrong impression in many scenarios, even when just with family / friends.
I also know a watch is on me at all times, whether that be swimming, running, gym, under a desk, running for the train etc there are times where your phone isn't always accessible.

Your dad stopped wearing it in the 70s.

I have 5 radio controlled clocks - 2 desk clocks - 6 cordless telephones with clock - 1 corded phone with clock- 3 mobiles -computer -cooker clock- Microwave clock- outdoor garden clock - Digital radio clock - DVR - Freeview box - Probably think of one more as soon as I hit send.
I still look at my watch first for the time.

I'd go for the Festina personally...I don't like the chunk of metal around the 3 and the blocks between the buttons and crown on the diesel

I've got a festina....there is a picture of it somewhere in this thread, absolutely fantastic for the price feels nice on the wrist. Keeps time really well. Been looking at getting a shark leather strap for it

Has anyone purchased from Chrono24? Can I pay buy credit card or paypal?

My brain has locked up.
Can't decide between a C60 or Steinhart OVM... prefer the look of the OVM (not surprising as the Rolex Sub is probably the best looking watch of all time imo) but the Christopher Ward feels like it's the more genuine and "original" of the two.

If that Diesel was any other brand, I might have considered it.. 
Festina between the two based on the brand alone!

Excellently put
Man of Honour
Everyone has a phase
At the end of it 1 nice watch is really all many will need and wear it into the ground then replace with another nice watch. Simple and effective and makes each new watch all the more exciting to look forward to.
