Watches.

[Delboy]

Another passion/obsession/vice/interest/etc ..... I have is watches . Anyone else into watches? I don't just mean really expensive ones - I like all kinds.

My pride and joy however is a TAG Heuer Aquaracer that I bought in December 2007 - I had wanted a TAG for literally 10-15 years and finally got one when I was in LA that year while the exchange rate was $2/£1 .

I've never photographed a watch before so thought this might be an interesting thread to start in our Photography Section - hope to see photos of lots of watches here so I'll kick off with my Aquaracer.

This is what I have not as nice or as expensive as yours Del. Always fancied a Breitling love them, I got this a couple of years back so i'll make do with this for a while

Im not into watches at all... but i did get a massive collection of pocket watches for my 21st! (around 30+) all in mint condition.

Will try and get them dug out and pics up

Yeah, im a bit of a watch nut! It was passed on by Dad, who has not a bad collection! I got my best watch for our engagement last year, its a Tag Aquaracer Calibre S. I've also got a Breil that i've always wanted purely from the days of watching World Superbikes in the days of Troy Bayliss and Colin Edwards, who always got one when they stuck it on poll.

Anyway, here is a picture of my watch from the net, and will play around with the Macro settings on my camera and get a couple of pics up sometimes!

This is mine... not overly expensive but lots of people comment on it especially when I was a salesman lol I coulda sold more watches than TVs

Im due for a new one now as this one has to get serviced every few months.

Got a Rolex 50th Anniversary Submariner. Old man collects Rolex's and I managed to bag this off him for near half the retail price

I have the Tag Heuer F1 Classic, I bought it fifteen years ago. (scary). Been with me ever since. It did go into its great round plastic case with the Big Tag on but now it has a few scratches etc I just keep beside the car keys these days. Still got the spare links in the case with the receipt.

First battery lasted ten years and that’s the only cost I’ve had with it as it had to be send it away for them to replace it as the jewellers said it had to be done right to guarantee the 200M.

Great watch that I’ve enjoyed but it was not that expensive back then around £200-300.

A friend bought a copy one and said " £20 and looks the same and tells the time" but I thought it looked rough and it lasted four months and even before that the fake Tag sticker was falling around inside it. Must Say I have always hated fake.
