Rolex here, my other half got it me for my 30th. It wasn’t the brand I was going to go with, but once I tried on the explorer it was pretty much perfect for me.

A watch is far more than something that tells the time. My wife gave me a Rolex sub for my 50th and I have worn it almost every day since except for when I ware a Garrard that was given to my grand father for 20 years service the year I was born. I gave my son a Sea master for his 25th and he complains that I introduced him to another expensive addiction. letters not necessarily in the right order |

I also bought an Apple Watch 7 when it was released. Cracking bit of tech, with so much information on your wrist. I’m trying to get used to wearing it, as I’ve never worn such a watch before and it’s a struggle.

Agreed Alan, I got one from my sister a couple of months back, never realized you could actually take a call in it , felt like a proper dick. Nice bit of tech though.

My wife bought me a Breitling Superocean Colt 20 odd years ago & I still wear it everyday. I also have another Breitling & a couple of Tags which I never wear, as I love the Superocean Colt, it’s my watch!

Like a few others, i have an unhealthy appetite for nice watches, but i do try to limit myself as there really is a limit as to how many i need.

Thanks to everyone who has responded, I've enjoyed reading the replies and have found them very helpful. I've some more homework to do off the back of the replies.

They were the first proper brand I bought when I had a semi decent paycheck, always been a bit of a fanboy.

I've never wanted or understood the fascination of expensive watches, I've openly mocked friends and colleagues who've spent enough to buy a decent car on a watch then deliberately bought fakes just to highlight their stupidity.

There is something a little odd about this thread which shows up in so many facets of life.

Having had ordinary things that tell the time all my life and like most, had to just look at Rolex in jewellers windows, 10 years ago I got the Sub that I had always wanted.
