I can't help you, but good for you anyway. Too many people are too scared to chase their dreams, if it weren't for people likeyou, the Wright brothers, Marie Curie et al, we'd still be living in caves, like Norfolk people.

It's just scary spending more on a watch than my car is worth so I want to make sure of getting the best deal! P.S My other ambition is finding a cure for cancer but with no medical background I am a bit further away on this one! |

some african chaps bring them to your table on the costa del sol, have assured me they are the real thing, and only cost a tenner.
shows how much of a mark up, the shops in england make |

some people argue that curing cancer could be linked to expensive timepieces.

If you keep it in good nick and its an expensive watch in 5 years it wont have lost much value, but you car will have lost about 80%, treat yourself.

there are no caves in Norfolk...most of it is below sea level.

Never forget a BBC special snippet on watches years ago,they teamed a 5 grand Rolex against a 10 quid Casio,you can guess what happened ...over a period of one month the most accurate watch was the Casio

Just to say that I am not in the least impressed by expensive watches, in fact my opinion of a man would decrease.
A man, who was chatting me up, could not wait to show off his new Rolex which cost him about £3000. I thought it was one of the most ugly watches I had seen and I thought him an idiot for buying it. Some women may be impressed, but only if they after your money. |

Bought a Rolex for £7 when I was in the far east,stopped working after 2 hours..sent it back to Rolex....havn't heard anything,that was 18 months ago

So not only are they over-priced, but their customer service is for shiit too. What a waste of money.

Get yourself a casio exude pseudo indifference and austerity,a known aphrodisiac among the people of Albania

Not buying it to impress my girlfriend. Pretty sad if you were. If I wanted a pen1s extension I would update my 8 year old car. If I wanted to be practical I would spend it on my house.
I want one because I like them and they last for years and don't depreciate like most luxury watches. |

What else can you do, if you are born with an inverted**
You have to buy a flash watch and a flash car to ease the pain. Disclaimer: I do not own a car, or a watch for that matter. |

I don't have a watch at the moment and not into them
but I remember 12 years ago, I bought a fake watch in Magaluf, think it was erm...ah Gucci anyway had it on , on a night out and a "mature" lady told me I was wearing a very nice watch. I did tell her it was fake however, wearing a pretend good watch might be an ice-breaker if you're looking for a one night stand |
|
By:
oh, the night out was back in britain by the way
|
|
By:
Thanks Reyes but they don't have the 'Gulf' ones in stock on their website. :(

Get yourself a Timex is my advice. Mine cost £10.95 and keeps perfect time.

There was a sign pinned up in the park yesterday saying 'Missing: Tag Heuer watch. £100 reward.' How we laughed.
|
|
By:
give em a ring charwell. will get/find one for you i'd expect
|
|
By:
i havent owned/wore a watch since i was about 14. then again i havent owned any jewellery since i was 14.
|
|
By:
Thanks Reyes I will.
MissP you laughed beacuse of someone elses misfortune. How sad. Hopefully you will not lose something of value. |

Well, as I asked my companion yesterday: seriously though, why would anyone want to pay £500 for a watch?
|
|
By:
i reckon you'd pay far less for the same thing from a disreputable specialist.
|
|
By:
Where are those MADE ?
hahahahahhahahahah :) |
|
By:
better off buying a gold bar and gluing it to your forehead imo.
|
|
By:
Why would anyone pay £1 million for a house, or £30k for a car or £2k for a t.v etc
|
|
By:
cos theyre bellends?
|
|
By:
The amount of fakes have tamed their impact..everyone thinks its a fake anyway
|
|
By:
lol. i think a 2 million pound house may be substantially better than a 30k bedsit in rochdale. a 2k watch doesnt tell the time any better than a 15 quid one.
|
|
By:
£1 million for a house - more living space/better location
£30k for a car - goes faster, more comfortable £2k for a t.v - dunno, more channels or something But a more expensive watch doesn't tell the time better. |
|
By:
OK, wot he said.

To pose with an expensive watch you would have to hand out printed documentary evidence of its authenticity to the bird you were trying to impress...a known passion killer
