I agree we’ll always want bigger & better it’s just our fu**** up heads lolWhen I was younger I couldn't afford a Rolex. Now I could but wouldn't because as you grow you realise forking out £8000.00 for something that goes tick and does the same as a £20.00 Casio is just a waste of money. If you have that lind of spare money it's just another trinket that you'll get bored with and want another soon. Same with a Wolfman Razor. Had one. The Leaf shaves better.
I have 3 nice but relatively modest watches.
Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro
Seiko Sarb 035
Seiko Sarb 017 Alpinist
I really like all of them but part of me thinks that if I had the money I would like to sell them to part fund a Grand Seiko Spring Drive. I quite like the idea of having one really nice watch. Having said all that I’m grateful that own 3 very nice watches at a fifth or sixth of the price of a GS Spring Drive.
100% Correct and that’s the reason i won’t have one anymore.
iv only ever had two,
A Yacht Master 2 which i bought in tenerife and a colleague of mine offered me double the money after i had it two years.
The other was a Sky Dweller which i smashed at work
The damage wasn’t that bad it was all external but again i was offered a good price & was pissed of with myself so got rid of it
with regret.
Having said that i very much doubt i’ll ever get another due to everything your saying
plus i question if they are the brand they once were.
I know Brands are all in the eye of the beholder but the Planet Ocean Movement for me is a joy.
I just paid £350 for the Glycine Airman I showed today. Great watches and they have the ETA movement so are reliable too. Lots and lots of variations so you'll find one you like. The Combat Subs are nice too although less sophistocated. They have a 60 click bezel which is a little naff but lets be honest, we don't really use the divers bezel much and if we were serious divers there are better models out there for that inc Seiko.I agree we’ll always want bigger & better it’s just our fu**** up heads lol
I’m after a few watches but nothing of expense.
i do want the Christopher Ward Saphire in Black which i showed last week i’m also after a
Mr Jones which is around £350 ish brand new & not to much cheaper second hand.
I’m in Singapore saturday & sunday so i might pick up something,
if i get anything it will probably be a GShock for work but i’ll see how things pan out

Get the dremel out & give it a nice & shiny polish lolChristopher Ward 38mm ladies size watch on original CW beige Canvas/Leather strap. Lovely patina on this but too dainty for me to wear regulary. View attachment 109579

I certainly will bear you in mind Gile. I will try to post a photograph of my watches sometime over the weekend.May I put dibs on that SARB if you decide to sell it
Exactly what I like about my Steeldive Sub homage. Cool looking NH35A watch but cost less than my Storm fashion quartz (I love the design, regardless of the fact it's based on something very expensive). Where I live, knife crime is fairly high and if someone wants to stab me for a £90 trinket I'll let them have it. Although I doubt your average muggers know what a Sub is anyway... you're simply not safe walking around with one on your wrist in 21st century Britain.
