Thinking about getting myself a nice watch for Christmas and so far, of the watches I've looked at this is my favourite.



I prefer Chronograph type watches but am open to suggestions... my budget is up to about £800 ($1400)

I'm keen to see what sort of watches you guy like - inspire me

holy christ that thing is "busy"
fyi, IIRC steel bands are falling out of fashion.

for the high class british porn collector i recommend:

^ only if it comes with a monocle.

Quite.

Steel band are the only way to go. Sports bands are for jerks (unless you're wearing it while engaging in physical activity)

I'm thinking of getting an Army G10, they're only about 50 quid.



Nice and simple, I don't like lots of silly dials and shit, I also fail to see the point in spending more than £100 on something that I'm only going to bash up and damage.

i was refering to leather being back in vogue.

leather is in but metal bands are classic and will never go out of style.

it looks pretty elaberate.

i think you should get the watch that tickles your fancy.

i never wear watches, my last ones were swatches in the 80's

I have that and i like it lots

nice Donny, very simple and clear - I want something a little more butch though

ideally i'd go for the Breitling for Bentley but £2k on a watch is a bit of a stretch

now that you mention "butch", donny's watch does look a bit feminine :icon32:

I'm into minimalism...



For those of you who aren't with us I have two strong words: come on.

Nice watch Bit. I have to admit I'm a sucker for the dials, although it's really just a lot of crap most people will never use.

i have this one

stylish but again not really butch enough for my taste - would look good with a suit on tho

also available with a leather strap (and in black)

That one has always been my personal favorite, went to buy it and at the last minute couldn't part with that much money for a watch.

Simple is better for watches, don't be a fag.

Buddy at work has one and he only had to pay $300 for it :icon23:

That's an awfully gay looking watch.
