No way. Weren't these CW watches like £300 only a few years ago - now you've got to drop a grand on them?

 

Same with most things tbh, get popular and price goes bonkers...and people will pay it.

Saying that, I was looking at a watch earlier, £2.5k and not even a known brand...not sure what the movement was (other than auto chrono) but the case etc was designed by a jewellery company.

 

Yeah, I mean that one is a limited edition version and the basic model is like £700-ish.. the GMT version is pretty much a grand now, pretty sure that used to be about 350 or so a few years back... I guess maybe they have improved things with the current model but lots of it perhaps is, as you pointed out, the brand getting more popular and people being prepared to pay it.

 

A lot of reviews suggest a hell of a lot of bang for buck at that price.

I'll let people know my thoughts once I get it, having owned Omega's I'll be able to do a comparison to my Seamaster (current) and the 'memory' of my Speedmaster.

Watches in general are all on the rise it feels.

 

Does Fitbit Charge HR count? Otherwise I have a Skagen and Citizen diving watch

 

The new CWard is a cracker, Ive got one in for review just now.

Also just finished an interview with one of the founders where he explains how they are designed and built and where the money goes...

I like the look of the CW trident with the black bezel and I've been after a proper working watch for a while. Id I'd like a Planet Ocean but don't want to spend Omega money when I am very hard on watchs when im doing stuff (the speedy comes off if I am doing anything remotely physical)

I did have a Rotary ocean avenger which was a good looking cheap watch. However I have wrecked it within a year.

 

My watches, both used often, the Citizen Eco Drive Skyhawk (Blue Angel's Edition) is marked a bit now though, could do with a tidy up.

And the Galaxy Watch, I like this one also....

Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm

 

New addition.

 

Fake watches are getting harder to spot.

 

Anyone has a casio g shock watch, quite like the look of them. Are the good for the cost?

 

They range from tens to thousands, all with different features and materials. Which model did you have in mind?

They are held in very high regard generally though. Tough and reliable.

 

Undecided, I was after solar and digital /analouge, but the one I like is solar and analouge only.
I wish the GG-1000-1A3ER was solar, I like that one.
GG-1000-1A3ER is solar, but don't like it as much.
GA-1000-4AER I quite like.
GW-3000M-4AER really like this one, solar and radio control
GG-1000-1A3ER very nice, also very nice price.

Hmmmmmm........

 

Hey guys

Thinking of getting a Rolex Submariner with date how long should I expect to wait?

 

A Miband 3 (fitness tracker). I stopped wearing watches years ago but toyed with the idea of getting a Michael Kors one after seeing my mates.

 

You could be waiting multiple months, or get lucky and get one within weeks. Depends how many ADs you're investigating.

Or buy second hand. I prefer the five digit Subs personally.

 

Depends if you are wanting brand new or used or if wanting to use an authorised distributor or grey market
Used or paying grey market prices is the quickest

 

I would probably go new but it for my 30th

I was thinking it might take a year plus

 

If you were willing to pay the extra, you could have one the next/same day

 

I don't, no need.
