What does your watch say about you?

My $7.00 watch from Wal Mart is a chunky macho type. It says that I can dive to a depth of 270 feet with it Last summer on a hot and humid day, the face was covered in condensation at zero feet. They don't make watches like they used to!!!!

I have a cheap one that I bought because it was the cheapest in the shop that didn't look like a toy. Never seen the point of paying money for an expensive kettle - as long as it tells the time, it will do me.

As to the question: I suppose it says that I'm a cheapskate

What he said ....

I wear a watch for 2 reasons only; a) to know the time, and b) to know the date.

Therefore my £9.99 Argos jobbie I bought over 10 years ago is all I need :thumbsup:
Anything more expensive for a timepiece is a waste of money as they don't keep time any better!

I also have a Cartier.

Have had one for the last 15 years and they really are very good quality. It is currently at their service centre and much missed, beautiful and slim for a man with little wrists :thumbsup:

Chunky and macho, or slim and stylish...

I currently sport a chunky military De Tomaso watch which is shockproof, apparently bulletproof and waterproof. I bought it secondhand. (!)

And it tells the time.

Bulletproof?

No it f***ing isn't. If I took a shotgun to your watch, it'd be fine would it?

I have a Breitling Aerospace and a couple of months ago one of the hands fell off! I returned it to Breitling who wanted to charge me £290 for the privilege of replacing it! They said it must of had a knock as there is a tiny (practically microscopic mark on the case). It hadn't and even if it had I would have expected a titanium Breitling not to have fallen part after the slightest knock.

Several angry emails and phone calls later and they finally reluctantly agreed to replace the hand free of charge.

Just goes to show that owning a expensive watch isn't always what it is cracked up to be!
