Great collection - love the TW Steel

RPN - Mondaine are very good watches... I have one for my everyday use.... very easy to see simple and classic and not a lot of money.

My watch fetish is as follows:

Not a stainless bracelet person.

I'm not a Rolex fan.... and not a Tag fan ... sorry. although the Monaco Tag I had was ok.... Breitling are ok but not really my style I had one well actually two but traded them.

If you buy wisely then a watch won't loose much money and you can trade it in against the next purchase.

My preferred brand of watch is Franck Muller.. I have two one bought in bond street and one bought the diamond district NY. honestly didn't save that much buying from the US.

Zenith Watches are my next fav brand.. I have two.. both bought in Switzerland..... great Country to visit if you love watches..

My Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso was another fav but Molly as a pup chewed the strap I put the watch somewhere safe and then never found it again same with my Ebel lost that when we moved back down the road..

Oris I had a couple of them but traded good watch and not a lot of ££££.

I had a Chopard dam thing got on my nerves with those dam happy fish floating about

I am ashamed to say that I have owned two Jacob & Co in my time ( well I had to). these have been traded.

I've had a few Omega ones in my time nothing special Allan has the Moon to Mars ... Snoopy and couple of other Omegas all along the same line all traded currently awaiting Bell & Ross to arrive.

Better stop at that but I like watches and buy and sell more than what I do Minis

What colour Ebel do you have? I've been Googling the watches without pics and this one really caught my eye.

My really boring watch, well it is compared to some others on here



I thought I'd broken it when it fell off the sink whilst I was washing up. I took it to a retired watch repairer who was fixing watches mainly as a hobby and to boost his pension. He took it apart cleaned it up and fitted a new battery and it worked fine, he was only going to charge me £5 but I made him take £10.

Well Im going to put my hand up here and admit I had never heard of Jacob & Co until I read scotties post so googled it and nearly fell of my chair one listed in there for sale at £70,700.. OMG!!!

[Scottie]

yeah needless to say mines was at the bottom end of the bracket and secondhand, although I do believe the ones you talk about were worn by the man himself David Beckham and his wife Posh hence why I bought mines, think they also liked Grimoldi but I could be wrong on that but a few celebs have worn the Grimoldi watches, I bought one from a Jewellers in St Marks Sq Venice, I still get a Christmas Card from them.LOL.

I should maybe add that any watch I buy is always second hand and never at the top end of the watch brand, only been stung the once and that was 2 christmases ago bought an omega and the bl00dy hands were loose kept gaining 5 hours every 10 mins.LOL

Do Mondaine watches have a sweeping second hand? My graphics teacher had one similar and I have been trying to work out for years what it was.

[Scottie]

mines sort of ticks along but it is a battery one I would say my automatic watch sort of sweep so not much help.

this thread made me have a quick look through my watch box to see what I've got at the moment. Trouble is most watches I can't see unless I have my glasses on and I only need them for close up work so I am sort of buggered always need a mid to large face watch

I found nice Technomarine that I got last christmas don't wear it cause I can't see it. A gucci that has been in a box for the last 10 years that I forgot about and found a nice Van Der Bauwede watch Silver 800 that I forgot about also so I've just put it on and will wear it for the next few days.LOL a Maurice Lacriox think it needs a battery.
