Day Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 See that ^^^ Cisse, a real mans watch, not one of those thin strap and girly head looking things you keep pulling up Cisse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You like water sports ? You can't beat a Seamaster. Bought mine back in 2002 for £750 and having looked on various websites I could flog it today for £1k. Sound investment. I'll be keeping it for a few more years mind as I'm giving it my lad for his 18th birthday.That's the last i'll ever see of it mind, as he'll either loose it or sell it within a month...

SaintRam Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This is an interesting thread, I'm not going to read 48 pages so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but this is my watch, it's not a Rolex, only a couple of hundred £ but a wonderful piece of design.http://shopeu.eone-time.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Geez, I'd love to get this one. Can't afford it now. Life sure sucks. http://www.longitudi.fi/product/499/iwc-30mm-vintage-rannekello-v-1939 I love international watch company, they are a nice watch, bit pricy though !!! I used to have a nice one similar to that one in the link but swapped it for about ten trench watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 That's a real classic. Elegant and understated. This watch phenomena is quite remarkable. I love proper watches, admire the craftsmanship, the individuality even the legend. You just have to say "Jaeger La Coultre" and it feels good ! but recently it has become a bit like the premier league. Hyped up and overpriced. Yes I can see 2,000 - 5,000 for a hand made time piece maybe a little more for something with special complications or materials but when The "brand" value exceeds the craftsmanship or aesthetics by a certain level I lose interest. Limited edition, special coatings and a load bling and you double the price. Naaaa just a way of getting money from rich people. Creating a market but it loses integrity along the way. Like the original polo shirt by Lacoste .. 5 dollar shirt with 20 dollar alligator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The prices have soared lately that's a fact. Still you can find nice vintage watches for a reasonable price and some luxury brands do keep their value pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
