What watch do you wear?

I have the same issue with my Breitling, dropped it and now it's borked. You are not the first person either who has told me IWC service sucks tuds, if you are still struggling let me know as I am sure I have the CEO's personal email address somewhere.

Few more of the Getat
And some C&B Natos from the Maranez and (not from C&B) a Stainless Bracelet for the Getat

Purchased a Tudor Black Bay on a leather strap on Friday, will post pics in due course
Guys need some advice. Mrs got me a rather nice Omega on the weekend and I after almost falling off my chair in shock(!) I started to think about looking after it.
It has a 3 year warranty as standard which is fine but that doesn't protect it against loss and theft.
So what I'm asking is for insurance recommendations. Any decent suggestions that would cover most scenarios? And insurance companies that people have used and actually claimed with?
Cheers

I have always found the cheapest option is to add it to any household insurance you have, but like anything you need to outway the odds of losing/someone stealing it, to the cost of the premiums over a year say,
which model, and what did you pay? I mean if its anything under £3K I wouldn't insure it, you know what they say,
if you cant afford to lose it, then you shouldn't be wearing it.
out of my collection I have two insured, my SubC 114060 and my Panerai, all the rest with a combined total of maybe £16K I just keep in the safe, and wear when I want,
top tip on any new watch to the collection (even second hand) is to check the spring bars, or even replace them as this is the number 1 reason for loss in watches, whether ill fitting, or ready to break, and don't wear the bracelet/strap too tight, this will also stress them leading to a possible break/loss
ohh and congratz on the Omega, that was my first 'proper' watch brand too, and I will always have a place in my heart for the Speedmaster Pro.

Have my SubC named on house insurance with John Lewis for £10 per month. Independent insurers were coming out at roughly the same level so decided the best bet was to stick with a known decent company and add it to house insurance. A friend has house insurance with LV and gets it for £50 per year (also on a SubC) which I thought was very cheap.
More to the point, get some pics up!!

Is that the titanium version? I was tempted by that but went for the 312 in the end!
Love the lume and the very long second hand.
People need to stop posting pictures of Paneris, they're becoming too tempting.

I use it most days, especially when cooking. I actually find it far quicker to use than when I wear my digital watch.
