Anyone here into watches

My grandfather fairly recently gave me the same model watch as the original poster. I adore it.

It's a 1967 model, with the original box and paperwork. I absolutely treasure it. He wore it just about every day of his life. One day I hope to pass it on to someone in my family too.

I hope it didn't have to go through the same journey as this watch

Personally I do not adorn my self with bling, I leave that to the doormen, scaffolders, off shore workers and travelling tarmac drive layers.

Any which way you like the best time piece ever came out of YORKSHIRE stand up John Harrison . Would not mind one of his chronometers in my bedroom

I'd really like a Patek Philippe Gondolo.

I like my Breitling Aerospace for the clean lines, weight (75g) and ease of changing time-zones............

I like my Boschett Cavedweller for .................. (not sure what I like about it - it weighs 345g, but is built like a brick sh*thouse

)

I bought a time piece from this shop. Excellent service and good value.

Omega Moon Watch, terrific.

A nice watch, which should give years of enjoyment.

I sold one of my Rolex - an unworn Submariner, from 2012. Made £800 profit on it

If you are considering buying an expensive watch:

Rolex, Breitling, Omega, IWC, Patek (not the curry paste!

) etc.....

then consider buying at Amsterdam Airport. There are considerable savings to make, and there is no import duties or restrictions - to the UK.

Reckon on saving about 15% on some.
