I'd quite like this G Shock.....





Just not sure whether I could splurge a grand on a Casio.

Great watches. I am off to Thailand in December so if you want one I can get it cheap and its genuine …. :huh: well thats what the guy said :laugh:

I like G shocks but a grand for one is a hell of a lot of dosh. I think that if I was spending that on another watch I'd want one likely to go up in value over the years and I'm not sure that a Casio will do that.

Yeah watches?

That too.

My dreamwatch within reach of my account one day will be the Hanhart Pioneer TachyTele in white like this:

Simple, functional, reliable & uncluttered. (thumbs)

I buy watches to wear, not to keep in the box for a decade in the hope it may go up in value.
I don't believe watches are a good investment anyway.... you may make a few bob buying one from a clueless seller that's vastly under priced it, but generally people will research the value of things, especially expensive Swiss watches.

My little collection.
I've had them all from new.
From the left:-
1966 Rolex Submariner
1991 Longines 5* Admiral Explorer
2012 Seiko Divers
......all these have screw down crowns & are therefore very waterproof.....
2013 Seiko 5 Sports
2010 Seiko 5
All are Automatic.

The "Easiest" of these to wear & the best timekeeper is the last one & this was also the cheapest @ about 50 pounds.It's within about 1 min/month.
Love em all & they all get worn regularly.
Value for money is definately the Seiko automatics. Superb movement & very good casework & straps

Omega Seamaster which I bought in '96
Sunnto Core All Black (my work watch).

Got a couple more Suunto's knocking around, an M4 and and T3 I think..
The Seiko I've had 30 years and needs a little repair but you've got to love watches....

Rolex are far too overhyped. Breitlings (I have two) are like Christmas cracker prizes.

What you need is a British made, British designed masterpiece. This is mine.
