What watch do wear

Riffs · 06-24-2018, 05:09 AM

Before buying a used watch always good to post a pic on the watchuseek 'fakebuster' forums. They have some very knowledgable chaps on there can spot a problem very quickly.

Some very good fakes out there these days.

Cheers for that, got 2 watches (Breitling Navitimer and Omega Seamaster) which need servicing.

Any idea on pricing? Assume they will be cheaper than the main agent themselves...

Although the main dealers will be more expensive you should get another 1 or 2 year warranty for the watch if you send to them.

Or you could try WF they are certified for Omega etc...

I'm liking this one....

Not so much the Richard Mille one though

Wills2 · 07-10-2018, 01:52 PM

Well a real version arrived at the weekend via Watchfinder, a very simple watch but it has some fine details the movement although just a simple robust design is nicely finished.

Very classy and elegant. Simplicity is the key I guess. 👍

I think my son won one of those in the grabber at the funfair on Sunday.

Sorry, not my bag.

But will order the tan leather for it too.....

Haha I wish, just a fitness enthusiast.

Just updated though, Fenix 5 Plus. Highly recommend again, just the best multi sport watch, GOS tracker and indestructible!

My HR drops to the 30s overnight, wife usually thinks/hopes I've died. I once had to do a lot of explaining while recovering in hospital after having my appendix out, RHR was 33 when lying down.

I guess the fact I have. Classic Tag Monza and Seamaster Auto tells you my priorities in life....all go...not much show

Not for me as I don't like square watches - if you like it, go for it.

Watches are jewellery and therefore very individual.

Certainly a classic and certainly not what you'd win at fun fair (why do people insist on being so obtuse), I do prefer the Autavia though myself in terms of a classic but modern Heuer look.

Nice watch a colleague has the petit prince version, good value as well, I'd love the petit prince big pilot.
