watches?

[superx]

Hey Hawk from what I recall you had to take the link out, and there was a hallmark in there somewhere.
I got a first hand demo from lunns jewelers in Belfast.

I'm just browsing the submariner, some serious prices on them, a man could buy a small country for those asking prices..

With them been hand made and not enginered, I wonder do the Chinese get robots to build them..

The G-shock looks good, almost like the bmx of watches..

I have loved watches since I was about 4 years old and knew when it was almost time to get up!!

I’m currently wearing a Sinn U2 watch, which is one of my absolute favorites.

I do like a good watch, but to me, that means quartz. A slim piece, not a hunk of mechanical mastery. That's just lots of trouble for less accuracy. Technically decades out of date, yet the highest price. You have to invest a bit of your soul into such a thing. No, for me I will take the battery. A nice Seiko movement perhaps. With a face I can read across a room. Bold hands and markers. However, the moment they design such a good looking thing, they stick in the less reliable wind up guts, and charge thousands for what should of been a £200 item, at most. It's really jewellery that people buy, under the banner of time pieces. One might say for the iphone owner, not android.

I do appreciate them, but a forecourt quartz is more accurate. I had a skeleton watch for a while, which you can at least appreciate. Something inaccurate, with high service costs, that looses thousands in devaluation, does seem like something going wrong, in my world.

It's form before function. Art. Jewellery.
I just don't have a soul that needs that sort of thing. I prefer the practicality of a G-shock, though won't wear plastic watches either. It's hard to loose 100 on a G-shock though. Unless you actually loose it.

they are ok. but now your talking tens of thousands of dollars. you that rich?

 

[Countryboy]

Thousands...I thought ya'll were talking about fine, mechanical watches, in part. There are lots of others fine brands...I usually use my phone.

Those are for collectors and connoisseurs, like fine art. Who wouldn't like some Dutch/Flemish pieces on the wall(I like the still life's)? But yeah, I like the thought of all those movements in such a small package.
'we' are just poor.

 

[shithawk420]

yeah.i just like the style. im poor and could never buy a Patek Phillipe let alone a Rolex.maybe one day. id like a pepsi rolex
