What watch do you wear?

[Diddums]

Yes real, there are hundreds of thousands of rich people in and around London. Starting with the Royals and their massive extended family, the bankers, business owners, property developers, crooks and people who simply inherited fortunes or married into it and the list goes on and on.

Loads of fakes too tho.

Thanks

Apple Watch when at work, only a series 5 and mainly use it for the gym, at home I more often than not wear my Citizen Mens Sport.

First Rolex, birthday present to myself, it's well used and worn. I've never been much of a watch guy but having got this and my Tag Calibre, i'm beginning to enjoy wearing watches a lot more.

Ah my bad - dial looks in good nick!

The dial is probably a replacement. It is the lugs you want to pay attention to. Bottom right looks a bit iffy - but presumably priced in.

Still one of my favourite favourites, although I think I'd go Sea Dweller.

Ah ok - still a lovely watch - congrats

Does anyone have any experience with Pagani Design watches? Some really nice ones but they just seem too cheap to be decent build quality.

They're fakes with a different logo.

Cheap homage watches (essentially rebranded fakes )

I find their name pretty amusing considering they use other peoples designs

 

[Stellios]

Thanks both, I'll stay away.

Thank you , it's a beautiful watch. Think i've done well with this one. Possibly looking at getting another next year if i can find what i want.

I guess it is a cheap way of getting the look of a more expensive watch, if that's what you're looking for. They are frowned on by a lot of watch enthusiasts though.

Reckon this is real? she's sitting on a train in central london repping the best part of half a mil on her wrist, crazy

Yes I'm bored on the train!

She is absolutely crazy to be walking around wearing that highly recognizable piece, it's basically an invitation to get mugged. I wouldn't even wear my Sky Dweller out and about in the UK, never mind a flippin rainbow gemstone Daytona!

 

[Things change I've changed]

What makes a San Martin a fake? It looks similar to many Submariner dive watches but has no fake logo on it front or back. Or a Pagani? Or many others. Dive watches all look pretty similar from a Tag to a Rolex to a Tudor to a Seiko. Something is a fake if it has logos of the "real" item and passes itself of as the branded item. If it looks similar, is it a great surprise? And is it a bad thing?

For the record, although I own a Steeldive "homage", I also own two Farer watches as my preferred dailies.

They are homage watch's rather than fakes, otherwise they wouldn't be branded, I'm thinking of grabbing the SN008G V3, I'm interested in this because I believe they offer amazing value for money, what San Martin do is show how much mark-up there is on watches by achieving what they do for the price.

Is there any value in playing Rolex ADs against each other for a new watch, or is it more of a case that the price is the price?

Not sure if serious.
