nc7r Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 For £200 I'd go for a Nixon.I had one before I got my Tag and it was spot on until the clasp broke, but I did use it for sport every day and had it for about 2 years. Upgraded to my Carrera a few months ago though.Nixon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 If we're posting our own.... A pod one for work and a Daytona for smart occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've got two watches, a knock-off copy of a chanel J12 chronograph, given to me for helping to rescue my mate and his motor from a field late one night. Its quartz, its tacky, it tells the time after a fashion and the strap is horrible, but for some reason people like it, even when I tell them its only a copy. The other is a Smiths pocket watch with an unjewelled movement and flourescent hands, a proper cold war special. Its a bit sensitive to heat variations, there's no compensation within the movement so you have to keep it in the same pocket or you start losing time Both serve a purpose: the channel is more flash than timekeeper, whereas the smiths is a bit of a companion, a constant heartbeat to check yours by.

BONGO Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 My phone has a clock on it. That's enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I look at a clock on a wall, if there's no wall, I don't know the time. Its a little inconvenient at times, but I manage.I don't think I could ever justify spending over £20 on a watch, its somthing to get mugged for, in a place thats easy to damage, bulky and I would have to take if off when riding anyway in case I fall.

jambo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 my advice would be to buy something like a Seiko kinetic there are loads of models you can pick up for well under £200 or a Citizen eco drive (powered by light not the motion of your wrist as some tit said) 5 year guarantee and the have also won watch manufacturer of the year a few times for having good quality of watches at a good price and a low return rate.linkthese are my watches at the minuteRaymond Weil tango chrono and Tag Heuer aqauracer waf1113and Tag Heuer Monaco chronograph which is currently in for a service. should also mention if you are going to go for a second hand breitling or Rolex etc beware of fakes and if it is real bare in mind every 5 years its meant to have a service which is easy £200 itself depending on the model.PS if you looking for most watch brands i can get you good discount in my shop.

chrishayton Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 The blue Monaco is my favourite watch ever. the black is still incredibly nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 omega Tourbillon, this is my favorite watch ever but would need a lottery win for it seen its made from solid platinum, possibly need to get some weight training in for it as its heavy as fook.

adamtrials Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thought I would contribute...My watch:Why have you posted a picture of a bad quality fake The date font is wrong, the markings on the bezel are feeble and it doesn't even look like it has a chronograph movement, and that's without comparing it to a pic of a real one...Well played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
