What watch do you wear?

dpbadger · 21 Oct 2011 at 19:21

That is exactly what I said to my Dad. If he is spending this much I would rather he got me an automatic.

Bell & Ross BR01-94

A £7 watch off ebay and it looks 10x better than the expensive ones posted here. I have a £6 mechanical watch and it looks amazing, wind up.

Very nice, I really like B&R (especially the WW1-92 Heritage) and the fact that they have had a display stand near work all work has been annoyingly tempting.

I have now decided against a Chrono as I will not use it. I am looking at the CW C50.

This would mean I would have to buy a steel strap seperately but that is only an extra £85.

Just got a new one for my birthday. Went for something pretty subtle this time

What's so odd about that? Loads of parents buy their children decent watches for birthday gifts.

Aye I got my tag for my 21st, I think a watch is he ideal gift for such an occasion.

Edit: That B&R above is a beaut!

Very nice, i've been looking at their dive watches.

Love how people are google imaging watches and posting here and 'claiming' they own them.

There should be a new rule made for this thread ... we need to see the watch on your wrist before you upload a picture.

Here's mine , i don't lie

me too but would have to flog this to fund it

torn between the BR-02 (1000M) or the HYDROMAX (11,000M!!!!!!! :eek:

)

(Yes that is ELEVEN THOUSAND METRES! - not a typo) Looks like the felt the need to do a big "SCREW YOU" to the likes of Rolex, Omega and IWC

Neither do I or most on here. Surely it can't be a suprise that a collection of people spending literally thousands every year on bleeding edge computer components and cars might also have a nice watch in their posession? I am a happily married man with a nice house, beautiful daughter and a good job.....I have more pressing things to attend to than worrying about lies to impress you lot!

Thats the one I like but not sure the chrono is worth the extra expense for diving. The chrono versions are only 500M too...the non chrono versions are 1000M.

dpbadger · 24 Oct 2011 at 18:29

I finally decided on this one. This is certainly a picture taken by me.

Sorry I don't know how to make it bigger.

no doubt you'd by the chrono and instantly regret it when you want to go to 501 metres

Aham the Hydromax isn't my kind of style. Yeah they clearly did it just to prove a point, it's waterproof down to the depth of the deepest ocean trench so with it you could dive anywhere in the world (if the human body could go down that deep).

First of all, oh no, how are you going to cope without diving to over 500 meters?!

I tried them all on the other day and probably prefer the standard ones.

To be honest I am most likely going to go with the Citizen, I do love it.
