Cannot go wrong with a bit of Breil.

Agreed. I've got a great Breil watch that has a rubberish strap but a fairly smart face. It's ideal for pretty much any occasion and goes with anything from a suit to flip-flops and shorts.

I also have an Armani watch, now about 8 years old, that is all silver and used mainly for smart occasions.

I'd love to get an Omega, some of the Seamaster range are superb. My girlfriend has agreed to buy me one, but I have to give her an engagement ring first! I'm tempted to just spend the money for the engagement ring on the Omega and be done with it!

Been after a decent watch myself for a while, anyone got any recommendations, under £100 preferably

Just bought myself a binary watch. Red LEDs though. £36 which is ridiculous for something that doesn't look too hot, but it's hard to find a nice one under £50.

Every birthday I email an Amazon wishlist to my family. Tonight I have spent an hour or two adding watches, so soon I hope my collection will have expanded!

Roots watches are fantastic. Had mine for about 5 years now, but it has a lifetime guarentee. Beautiful things.

Just had my Jeff Banks re-strapped as it smelled of vinegar.

Also just picked up a retro Casio piece:

Reminds me of being in Edinburgh 3 years ago, one of the lads managed to forget his watch (noticed about 5 mins after we set off and moaned a lot about it), money (noticed when we pulled into a petrol station just outside Edinburgh) & shoes (noticed when we got to the hotel).

Anyway he was so pissed off about not having a watch, not really helped by the fact that every 5 seconds, me and the other lad would ask him what the time was

, he decided he had to buy a watch so we sent him into some Jewlers to buy the cheapest watch possible. Only he actually went in and ask for the cheapest watch they sell, which made me nearly piss myself.

Thats my boring story of the day.

get one imported from some moody country

there is all kinds of websites selling top quality replica watches, just think a rolex for £50.

these are my 3 at the minute (I have a thing for watches, and change regularly). Love storm watches too - class looking, well made, and don't cost the earth so you're not afraid to wear them!

I got the CV2014 Carrera Racing with rubber strap. http://replicaseries.com/product_info.php?products_id=1591 I have seen a few originals (in various duty free shops around the world) and the one I have is exactly the same.

It took 7 days to arrive and came trackable EMS from China. Do bear in mind that if customs open the package they will confiscate it. A friend bought an F1 Tag and a Rolex. Both excellent quality compared to the ones I've seen on stalls and in the various markets abroad.

It seems that if you want something that really looks the part you have to pay a little extra. The photos on the site really do represent the watches sold.

I have no affiliation with the website

I must admit that they look pretty good.

Are the pictures on their website though pictures of the replica, or pictures of the real thing?!

The quality of replica watches is fantastic now. Some are even that good , only a dealer would know. (of course there a little bit more expensive than the average lucky lucky man fake).

I have a Pulsar watch since my 21st birthday which was May '03. It has never needed a battery or has never lost time.

Mine is exactly the same as the pictures, the two my mate bought also exact. Just be aware they are counterfeit goods and can be seized by customs. I doubt they would prosecute you but that depends how many you buy. You can buy the boxes and warranty cards etc bu I wouldn't, that's for the people that want to scam others and they deserve to be prosecuted.

can't beat a good old fashioned casio g-shock. i got one on ebay 6 years ago for £11 and it's still going strong. other than that, if money was no object and i didn't have the watch my dad left me when he passed, i'd go for one of these

or an oris bc3

My Daughter and Son both have a Raymond weil watch, has never had any problems with them 15 years,+ 11 yrs just the straps have needed renewing around £200 plus. Also Seikos are quite good with plenty of styles to choose from.

It's binary. The top 4 LEDs are the hour, the bottom 6 the minutes, so:
1001
100100
Would be 9:36 (8+1 for the hours, 32 + 4 for the minutes).

I broke the strap on my binary watch, and on my Omega. I guess I should probably get them fixed.

Good people of RAWK: I need your advice! I want to buy a decent watch, something with the look of the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera watch attached below. Now I'm not rich enough/stupid enough to pay £3K for a damn watch however I like the look, in particular the way the red and black go together. I'll spend max £300.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #118 on:** January 1, 2010, 10:51:13 pm »

Why would you spend even £300 on something that tells you the time and the date?

Captain-Carra · « **Reply #119 on:** January 1, 2010, 10:52:47 pm »

Get yourself a watch from Fossil, Great selection, can choose your own face and strap and shouldn't set you back more than £100
