Watches!

31 May 2007

I have a few watches......I have one that I wear most of the time that I think cost about 100 quid....but it's a good reliable watch that goes with most outfits, so I normally wear that one..... biggrin

although I have gone through stages of not wearing a watch at all which once i got used to I actually quite liked, it's amazing how many places the time actually is on that you don't realise until you've not got a watch on, ie, on the computer, on the telly, on the cooker, on your phone when you're out and about....you just don't use all the other clocks around you when you have a watch on.
I have one watch which is a family heirloom......It's kept in a very safe place and I only wear it on very special occasions as whilst it's insured, the money would never ever compinsate for its loss.
I have another one which is worth a lot of money, but it was bought by an ex, who I'm pretty sure rushed into harvey nics on a lunch break and got the assitant to find him something to get his bird for a birthday pressie (he never understood the concept of 'it's the thought that counts').
My only other one was one for about 500 quid that I bought after a very very good day at the races, which is the most annoyingly tempremental thing ever.....and is even worse after I drunkenly got in someones pool with it on one night......just cos it cost money doesn't make it a good watch.....actually in most cases I'd say that a lot of cheaper watches were actually better than other ones that are mearly cosmetically enhanced.

How many of us would spend 4K on a watch? To be honest with so many lookilikee copies out there, is it really worth it as I for one would not know the difference

4 K on a watch?
Seems like a waste of money if you ask me. A watch that expensive probably looks big and nasty anyway :lol2:
I'd probably break it with in 2 weeks.
While I remember, I also did something really silly on Saturday night. I was in bed playing on Ians crappy PDA thingy when I remembered I needed a tablet from downstairs. Me being very lazy and tucked up with a cuppa figured I'd text Ian to ask him to bring my stuff up. So I sent this text....
"Can I have a night time tablet please xxxxxxxx"
Only I sent it to the wrong Ian redface

Now no one has the PDA number because we rarely use it so the person who got the text has no idea where it came from but I got a reply.
"Wrong number try again and good luck xxx"
When I looked, it was from Ians boss surprised

I nearly always wear a watch until that is either the battery die or a link breaks. Then it goes on a shelf waiting to be repaired or for me to buy a new battery but before either happens it goes missing or gets put away and I end up with another watch rolleyes

There are about 5 watchs in the draws here that just have no battery or a broken link. She probably doesnt remember but Mrs Tweeky has bought me a watch for my birthday or Xmas around three times. My current one is this years Mrs Tweeky Christmas offering an England team watch with the three lions and 66 insted of 6 at the bottom :cool: may well keep this one a little longer due to that.

I tend to take of my watch off when I'm on holiday so that I'm not governed by time. Does anyone take off their watch when they are on holiday? Or am i just weird :lol2:

Well you are weird but when I did wear a watch I would take it off on holiday because I didn't like the suntan mark it leaves behind :lol2:

Typo :doh:
But just to clarify I'm sure my 'feeking' technique would not be hindered if I were wearing tight socks etc. lol

Mrs Kiss has different watches for different outfits... I do not understand!!!!

seems a little 'strange' to me - nothing wrong with that I know but I would think twice about letting some fella mess about with some expensive item of mine whilst I play with his watch lol

I have 2 watches, both gold. I kept getting rashes on my wrist from anything not solid gold and decided to treat myself but couldn't decide between the two...so I bought both! One's by Beuche Girod, who used to design the Cartier watches and a good old fashioned Rotary.
Mind you, I didn't know the winder is never solid gold in solid gold watches, something to do with it being soft. Mmmm, I definately prefer hard wink

4K on a watch??? :shock:
thats....almost a deposit for a house...or a small car...or a very significant holiday...or a new kitchen :shock:
aside from the sheer waste of money, I'd be scared to death of losing something so valuable :scared:
but to wear it round a wrist as some kind of 'look at me' statement just says he's probably overcompensating for something else that's lacking in life :dunno:

Now that was almost too much for me to handle

:rotflmao::rotflmao:
Varca, pass the tena back please redface

Laughing to hard to reply to your pm Varca :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

I have one watch at a time. It (almost) never comes off, so there's no point having more than one. The current one is my third.
I have a thing about watches - I couldn't wear one with a white face. But I have a thing about a lot of things.

I keep getting spammed by American companies trying to sell me watches. I don't own one - always use my mobile phone! lol

I have many different watches. Some serve a purpose other than just telling the time, like the one with the heart rate monitor (so I know when I'm nackered!! redface

). I don't wear any type of jewellery like rings or chains (the occassional cufflinks depending on the shirt), so for me they are my fashion accessory.
The oldest, still working watch I have was a present from one of my Army units from about 20 years ago.
I have what I call a 'kickabout' watch which is any watch that I wouldn't worry if it got broken or lost.
I have one which illuminates the face, which is handy when dogging.
I have several other watches, all work, just a couple of them might need batteries.
My current 'wear most of the time' watch cost more than my last car, but the car was pretty cheap!! lol

I won't be buying another one to replace that as it really is too good to be left in a drawer, but it won't be the last one I buy. The next one on my list is a dive computer watch!!

It's for scuba diving, Varca. It shows your depth, ascent rates, water temperature and a few other things and funnily enough, also tells the time!! lol

For diving I treated myself to a very expensive watch that would be able to go down with me (ability to go down well being always of prime importance) only to find that when I went deep I was scared shitless of all that water on top of me and I've never scuba dived since!
Watch anyone?!

Are we still discussing watches here? :rascal:

I never, ever wear watches. I've had a couple bought for me over the years- but just don't see the point in them. It doesn't help that I'm VERY allergic to nickel I suppose, so any jewellery is on & off within a couple of hours anyway.
Varca (still can't feckin quote)our people carrier came about not coz of a penis deficiency, but coz the penis in question worked a little TOO well! :giggle:
