    Some were expensive, some weren't. The ones you are thinking of are like Timex watches - the one he had was more of a Rolex :laugh:

      Not too bad - I think it's had about four of those.

          I don't need a battery. The only /slight/ draw back is the ~£400 service every 4-5 years. :sigh:

                      I got used to it very quickly. I've had it 17 years now and mine keeps pretty good time. I was very lucky, I won some money and so I had enough to go out and buy it; £1530 in 1994. Today it's around £4,000.

                        No. The watch is self winding.

                            I doubt the Ickles will want my watch; we'll see. They will inherit Mrs Wife's extensive collection of watches and jewellery, so I doubt if they'll complain.

                              I could just about afford one now. If I hadn't had a fortunate windfall, I would never have bought it.

                                Your carrier can track it, but as soon as you tell them it's stolen they'll just block it. So you can, but they won't.

                                He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

                                      :wtf: I mean, wow, a Rolex. A matter of taste, but I really don't like the design ( People usually laugh at me when I say that "Yes, of course, the only reason why you are not buying a Rolex is because you do not like the design"). I've been looking for years for a watch I like, but I find most designs either too poor, or .. too expensive. The last I had in focus was the automatic PRS516 from Tissot[^] but it is too large for my wrist (45 whereas 42 would have been better). :sigh:

                                        See Nagy's answer. Yes, I figured that as well, but it is only that I remembered him being more around than 5 posts/a month, that's all.

                                          0. I like the design; it is a classic and honestly understated. 1. I wear it pretty much 24/7. Only if I'm doing really dirty work, and I remember, do I take it off. 2. I was buying new watches - ~£100 every six-months to a year. So the £2,500 it's cost [with services] over 17 years is a bargain. :-D 3. I was only able to afford it because I had a windfall and I wanted to treat myself. I would never get away with spending that much on myself now.
