What kind of Watch(es) do you wear?  (is that correct English?)



I wear a Gucci watch with metal band.  It must have a date and I can't stand the chronograph stuff.  Don't really know how to or when to use them.  I've had Gucci watches since high school.  I really want to upgrade to a Rolex or Piaget.  No not the fake stuff.  Plus the resale value for Rolexes is a pretty good incentive to buy one.  

And yes,I know not to wear the good blings when hunting/mongering.  It'll most likely end up gone.  

the Bling!   Yes, it does get chicks into bed even tho you're u-g-l-y. .....

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Réserve de Marche. Pink gold with leather band. Simple but elegant. The heavy gold Rolexes are too flashy for my taste.

IWC acquatimer

thanks for the comment!!!

I am thinking of a Patek Phillipe (PP)
from stock money hahahahhaah

This is good, now in addition to looking at chicks when I go to 141 places,
I'll also be looking out for bro's watches - I'm going to keep a list of who wears what
so don't be too surprised if I call out your logon name !

nice one mate

Rolex, IWC, Zenith..not in particular order. My Zenith is almost 10 years old. Saw the new el Pimero, reallllly sweet. Finally a great looking watch from a great company..

I am looking for a reasonably priced watch for all extracurricular activities. I have seen some few watches from Fossil which are very good features wise. Hopefully I will find one that is good

Sorry bro, when punting, the watch is not displayed.

you think eh ?   I have ways .......

There's really only one choice - a Rolex. Why settle for less - provided you can afford it.  

I've met people with other types of expensive watch and they always seem to want to expalin why they
bought it - style, elegance, design, blah, blah, blah. With a Rolex - no explanation necessary.

That is so true.
But if you ask any one who owns rolex why? none would be able to keep a straight face and say that his watch is a technical achievement. Sadly watches can be a bit of the snake oil stuff.

Omega Seamaster - genuine
Casio ProTrek - genuine
Roamer - genuine
Patek Philippe - fake
Rolex - fake
Old Seiko and Casio digitals - genuine

I dont wear any watches, they are too heavy for me
But i like the Breitling style or those sonyericsson executive watches look nice too.
Rolex is so uncle feel.

Jake/Lantau,

Ever heard bout this statement from fellow colleagues?

In HK, every blue colar workers must at least own a Rolex..........sort showing to your parents and friends that you are mature enough to earn your own living........

lol, doesn't matter if it's real or fake eh?
as long as there is Rolex strap on their hands..

90% of the people who buy Rolexes do so because they think it makes them look wealthy and cool. The other 10% have no taste.

The Rolex is the ugliest watch ever made - a big silly piece of flashy gold utterly without style. The only way you could make it any uglier is to encrust it with diamonds, which is just what they did to appeal to even richer snobs without taste.

haha, the fakes have the real relevance.

Thanks for sharing, but fake PP and Rolex is really not good.

I never notice this until u mention how ugly it is.........so true....I am staring at mine now.......really damn  ugly!!!!!

To me, I buy Rolex b;cos it has the highest 2nd hand value
ac compared to other watches......so this is sort of investment.....say due to unforseen cicumstances, u need some cash urgently........still can fetch a good price at the pawnshop

Goodness you don't mean that.  Rolex are the ONLY watch a person can buy now and it will still be in demand in 10 years.  Some of the best looking ones were released 15 years ago, and truthfully, they still make similar ones now.  That's Classic!  I love the Oyster DateJust.  Pure elegance.  Rose gold, white gold, yellow gold, etc.  All wonderful and we all know gold holds its value.

I would not buy brands such as Chanel, Mont Blanc, IWC, etc. because they never ever hold their value.  It seems every year they release a new model so the old model gets ignored and there is no demand for it.  

The look of Rolex, the durability of Rolex (it uses a Patented Steel and scratch resistant coating) and the pure workmanship of the watch makes it the Best of the BEST.  It's large and commands attention, but that's only because only the successful get to wear it and pull it off.  If you don't pull that kind of money, a fake can be easily spotted.  Pretty much no middle class worker can afford it and wear it proudly.  

I must say a Rolex is a damn fine piece of jewelry.
