blonde poker forum

Good Morning all,

As you can tell from my profile pic I am into fine watches, and whilst the casio is one of the best watches I have ever had, working in a professional environment I am not 100% comfortable wearing this beauty at work.  Clients see it and think that I'm a 'flash bastard' and therefore I have stopped wearing it (gg £14.99).

So looking for a little advice on getting a nice watch at a reasonable price, i am looking to spend between £150 and £250 so not expecting the world, I find myself looking at websites and being confused. 

Any help much appreciated!

This should suit you Chris, 5 stars aswell

incred - that is all

Looks a bit ghey mate.

Go for something a bit more chunky imo.

I like the ladies watch look tbh.

5 stars on argos speaks volumes.

just pimp out the one you've got.

my current watch is amazing so pimping it up would prob be the best solution.

get one of these and you're sorted imo

ot have a look at them all

http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/mens-watches/c3204.html#nhp2-lc-11-6-1

Just don't assume high quality they never are. If they last a year you have done ok out of it and they will lose/gain time etc. I have a nice real TAG I bought 15 years ago. The problem is fashions change and I ain't spending a couple of k each time they do. Now I just buy a few fakes every couple of years and they see me through.

Is it just me that prefers to go for watches which are made by actual watch manufacturers rather than designer labels, for eg Police or Diesel

i bought a few from here a few years back firstly customs stopped it entering the country no prob the sent another one when i rang them to say thet one hadnt turned up they sent another.,.,that day one arrived.,.,next day the other arrived.,.,and about a week later the last one arrived.,lol i had 3 watches for the price of one.,.,.,not bad quality.,.,
if you could stretch to £500 i would recomend a second hand omega seamaster off ebay.,.,my wife and son bought mine 10 years back cost if i rem about £1,000 but if i were to sell it which im not.,.,i would get around £500 for it.,.,so pretty good investment..,what i mean is you wont loose too much money and its a great watch i never take it off.,.,.
the fake ones i bought were called corum admirals cup.,., sponsors of the wsop i still have one left gave the others away.,.,.,http://www.ukreplicawatches.com/

Have you used ukreplicawatches Sofa?  I like the look of a couple, wouldn't mind one myself!

I have this exact one, cost me £20........

http://www.ukreplicawatches.com/replica-watches-breitling/replica-breitling-bentley-motors-t-watches-1.html

Where'd you get it from?

Cambodia or Thailand, I forget which...........

Who removed the post about having just bought a £21k cartier?

Lol found it.

Marc show us a pic. Bet it looks incred.

Yes
yes very good quality u couldn't tell the diff but if you read all what I wrote
I ended up gettin 3 for the price of 1

Why do you need a watch when the time is on your mobile?  :dontask:

Surely you got one when you bought your new Bentley?

;)

Bet it looks as good as the real thing though except under the closest examination.

They are ok when new but scratch up dead easy, water knackers them and they break quite easily. if they last a year you have done well ok out of it.

90% of the 'designer' brands are made by fossil. Fossil' watches can be picked up in the US for $40-$50 which tells you the. true value of them..

I love my raymond weil parsifal, which I have had for nearly 15 years.

(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9100/parsl.jpg)

(this is a newer version with bigger numerals which I dont like at all). The watch is incredibly thin.



i am secretly after one of these, which must be about the cheapest watch that Rolex make :

(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2522/rolex.jpg)

Are Tag good watches then or just fashion prices ?

Best watch ever omega seamaster .,.,... Automatic
keeps great time and face is saphire something quite
unscratchable
if I changed the blue dial on mine costs £60 it would look brand new
it's about 10 years old and tough as  rough.,.,

TAG is a swiss watch maker that has been around for about 150 years...proper watches...

I remember for a while back in the late 80s they seemed to be selling a lot of  'fashion'. style watches which were quite plasticky and bright colors, but they have gone back to more traditionall styles in recent years.

Sofa, - I love Omega watches. I have a mate who has a Omega seamaster and the weight of the thing  is just unbelievable....

the only 'luxury' brand i dont like is breitling....apparanty a favourite of premiership footballers, which is all you really need to know...

was blonde raped by trigg on here ealier... which is why i deleted post

mine is the blue one but i am thinking of changing it to get the planet one.,.,just for a change,.,.,

Thread is starting to take off!! I spent 500 on a pocket watch with money I got for my 21st, wish I'd bought a wrist watch now as I never use the bloody thing and got it for novelty I guess!!

Might buy a cheap one and save up for a decent one!!

lmao how old are you lol

is there vat on watches lol

only 2nd hand 1's

Haha - I'd always wanted one!!

i got you in my mind now as that guy who does the antiques thing blue and red team lmao.,.,.,

Woodsey would you be willing to pick me up a watch when you go in August. After something similar to Sov - silver and simpleish, either breitling or TAG etc
Would happily ship you cash before you go and could pick it up from DTD one weekend when you get back.
Something like this
(http://www.ukreplicawatches.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/B/L/BL-025a_2.jpg)

Yeah no probs. I'm going on 24th Aug just remind me before then. It would probably also best if you give me 3 models you like so there is a choice in case I can't find the exact one you want. I'd be tempted to get a couple of I were you as I've had ones that have gone knackered within a couple of months, but for £20-30 what do you expect hey........

In fact I've got a couple of spare ones now, let me see if I can find pics of them for you...............

I have this one with a metal Silver strap

This one with a black leather strap. You can have either for £20.

http://www.ukreplicawatches.com/replica-watches-breitling/replica-breitling-bentley-gt-47mm-edition-9.html

And there will be no guarantees, as mentioned the quality ok but nothing more, but they do look good.

Got any Bell and Ross Watches ?

Nope I have 1 Rolex and 1 Frank Mueller other than that............

:D just thought I'd ask

Nice looking watch.

Would suggest something like Toy Watch or U-Boat.   Have a 2 U-Boats myself and cannot get enough of them

i have the 3rd toy watch there the white one
my gf bought me it. i like it. its also very light which is nice

I don't have any watches :(

(http://www.omegawatches.com/fileadmin/templates/product_presentation/seamaster-diver300m-gents/seamaster-diver-300_assets/img/seamaster-diver-campagne.png)

so a few years on & i've got a decent job & stopped losing all my money at poker so am going to get this omega (thin/brag etc).  Anybody used swisswatchesdirect.com?

They are about 500 cheaper than in high street jewellers.

any advice/congratulations on being able to afford a fancy watch on my credit card?

i read about trying to get jewellers to price match anybody had any joy with this?

No idea about pricematching, but doesn't seem inconceivable that they'd be willing to do that.

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.swisswatchesdirect.co.uk


Decent enough reviews there, which I presume is a reputable review site.


Nice watch, gl with the purchase.

thank you.  Just worried about buying a fake online etc.

looks like quite a few good reviews though.

iconic are reputable

http://www.iconicwatches.co.uk/our-brands/all-brands/omega/seamaster-41.html

and dom hackett has a stellar rep on watch forums as being honest and reliable, if you call him he will source discounted new watches for you.

http://www.hackettwatches.com/

with the current favourable exchange rate these guys are bringing in watches from europe, just check that you will 100% be covered under manufacturers warranty, it varies slightly between different brands

thats great thank you.

Do people still wear watches??

only fancy ones.

No, I keep mine on the mantelpiece ;D

I wear them when I go out, which isn't very often.

Some of the ones that spend most of their time in dry, clean environments and are happy to fish their mobile phones from their pocket when they are away from their computer screen and want to know the time don't.

Most jewellers will knock money off for the stuff they sell. Recently bought my wife a decent watch from a Main Street jeweller and got almost 20% off the ticket price.This was latest stock and not in any sales etc.

I haven't worn a watch in 15 years. Mobile phones have saved me a fortune as I always managed to break my watches.
lol attempt at a dig though Red. my phone covered in paint and scratches, mostly acquired whilst renovating houses

It wasn't a dig Gov, honest.

Well, maybe it was a bit, I just thought it was kinda justified after your comment when sovietsong is obviously excited about buying a new watch.

No offence intended though Mr V. It's just the usual forum bollocks.

x

Going to pop into a normal jewellers see if I can haggle. If not am going to take the plunge & buy online.

Thanks for the advice & links.

Ernest Jones have done it for £2.3k so £135 more than online but I'm much more comfortable buying from a retailer.

Thanks again

this Is my new watch hope u like

Very nice

found out after I got it not that easy to come a cross

Tag, Breitling, Rolex, Omega... Get that Casio on the go ;D

Have seen a couple of the dealers in Vegas with the old Casio. Certainly helpful when it comes to chop time..lol

Great thread on 2+2 in EDF section about watches. It is huge though and you may not have time to read it all.

It will either change the current view you have of watches or you were never really that into/interested in fancy watches.

Who's view will it change?

Everyone who has posted in this thread i would imagine.

Ultimately it does depend what you are looking for in a watch combined with what you perceive to be a "fancy watch"

I bet :D

A Bolton lad called Roger Smith makes fancy watches. Do they like him on 2+2?

Depends , does he make in house movements whilst not dishing out watches to footballers and nba stars? ;)

Also fwiw i am not saying anything is wrong if someone wants to pay £200 for a fossil group watch in a Hugo boss case. That is a decision for them.

Just pointing out watch taste/ appreciation is usually changing all the time once you get started.

Yes they would love him.

just seen this thread - i love watches and tend to buy them at auction - occasionally direct from a jewler i know who gives me a extremely good discount. have about 40 in the collection at the moment.

unfortunately - i only wear watches once in a while and my current fav is a 1940's allaine automatic - though its only got an hour hand - have yet to get round to fixing the minute and second hand -

have bought some crackers over the years for like £10/20 - in fact have made more money buying and selling the odd watch than i have made money at poker,

little tip - if you buy an expensive watch direct from a jewler - ie £3k upwards - look for at least a 25% discount -
