Imo, that grand carrera is ugly as hell, but if you like it fair play.
I'm happy with my £50 Lorus which is currently up to 8 years old and will likely do tons more.
Build quality is a bit of a crappy argument really, once you get beyond silly cheap theres really not a lot to go wrong.
I do like otherwise i wouldn't have bought it

But you see expensive watches with plastic and leather and know the person was more interested in the brand
IMO
End of the day its like anything on the forum - Someone has something and then everyone has to question it
I like it, I bought. If you do not see the value in it then fair play thats your opinion

Whitter's watch is one of the few talked about it here that are worth the money.
Style of watch is a matter of opinion but quality of materials isn't. Being happy to put up with lower quality is not equal to lower quality being as good.

This is almost as good as a detailing thread
Some love, some hate, some confusion.

Yeah but If I spend £3k on a watch I've still got a £3k watch after a week.. If I spend £300 having my car cleaned I've got a dirty car after a week
