What watch do you wear?

Came expecting photos. Thread did not deliver.

I quite like the new orange dial Christopher Ward trident. It's like a slightly smarter version of a seiko orange monster.

I quite like it as well. Looks smart. Still not a huge fan of the logo but I'm getting used to it.

Age, leather, rubber or steel?

Watch Club on Old Bond Street, London have a 2006 on display for 6475.
I don't see what you couldn't get about 5K for your one

Not half as nice as a lot of the metal in here, but until i'm about 60 and can afford the Omega i've always wanted!

Always had a soft spot for Nixons, so recently got myself a 51-30 in Gunmetal/Green Oxyde:

It's a big watch, but I like it.

And yes, I need to moisturise.

Not sure if someone has posted but Goldsmiths are offering 20% off some Omega's

http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/c/SALE/filter/Page_1/Product-Type_Watches/

Makes them similar prices to some of the importers.

20% isn't that great to be honest, my girlfriend works in a jewelry store and they'll go as high as 18% if a customer haggles hard enough and isn't paying on finance. She gets 35% for friends and family and 50% for herself, so the markups are huge on watches.

Who's to say you can't haggle further than the 20% though. I'd rather start there than at full retail.

Ayahuasca · 9 May 2017 at 11:34

That's true, I don't know how goldsmiths work with furthering discount on already reduced items.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 12 May 2017 at 13:52

My latest Breitling, a lot of people don't like them, for me my favorite watch maker. SuperOcean Chronometre.

Will Gill · 12 May 2017 at 13:57

Nice

, my skyland avenger is fast becoming my daily beater, seems to get a lot more compliments than my other more expensive pieces. However, it's a shame they have rather low rent movements, having said that so does my panerai

Is that on all brands including omegas? Usually the proper brands have reduced staff discounts vs fast fashion quartz stuff...the 20% at Goldsmiths is only on non-current models too

Where she works those are the percentages across all watches they sell in the store she works at (Breitling, Omega, Tag are all there). It's actually rather annoying as I always find myself looking at new watches and seeing what price I'd be able to get them for, already purchased 2 and only been with her a year

I'm not a fan of Breitling watches. Sure they are well made time pieces and are built like tanks....BUT, they are the size of tanks and they tank in value. Massive watches went out of season in the late 90's.

Hopefully the new owner will inject some innovation into the brand.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 12 May 2017 at 20:31

I wouldn't call a 42mm watch massive, it's just the right side for all events. Probably the most popular size of all.
