It must display the date.

What would you consider?


I skim read this and thought of a watch that in hindsight only ticks the box of being around £4k but no others.

I picked picked up a Speedmaster Day/Date for half that new and it is a cracking watch.

Why drive a nice car when a £500 corsa will do the same job.
Why have home cinema set up when a 32" CRT tv will do the same job.
ETC ETC



A ferrari over a £500 corsa has advantageous of brilliant handling and high horsepower for starters.

A home cinema system worth 20k, sounds alot nicer and provides clearer pictures than a 32" crt tv

But, a £4k watch will only say the same time as a £10 watch. what else does it do?

exactly the point i was trying to make

Bit of a broad and highly debatable statement there

I've said it before...watches to me are bloke jewellery

If you've got £4k going spare and fancy a watch then why not? a £4k watch will pretty much retain all of it's value for years; and if you choose correctly you'll make on the investment

All of this 'my 99p watch does what a £xxxx watch does' mmc as per above. Would your fiancee love a plastic ring as much as a fuck off diamond affair?

The OP needs to go look around Blowers jewellers website

Already purchased 2 watches from there in the last 12 months.

Some progress has been made. I am waiting on some responses from a couple of jewellers and hoping to get something bought in the next week or so.

Its going well thanks, just unsure whether to chuck the £9k i have just lying around my bedroom at it, or just keep the money for something else.

Might take photos of the car and the money to share with this corsa forum
