After my visit to the MotoGP in Barcelona in 2009 i vowed i would buy the Tissot Limited Edition Helmet.
This edition has all the tracks engraved on changeable rear bezels for that year enclosed in the helmet allowing a wealthy fan to change the bezel for each race attended:-
How smart is that Alan.
The stock picture doesn't do it justice, since i'm away i can't take a photo of it, but, it's a stunning watch and i've never worn itOriginally Posted by GCA3N
Thanks Andy, I was well impressed myself when I saw this Rotary watch, especially when I got it on sale because it was an old model - mineral glass, push-button clasp, waterproof with screw-down crown and everything. Rotary have some nice watches in their new Aquaspeed range, and I still can't believe they give you a lifetime warranty - you don't get anything like that from TAG! You should also check out Citizen (who give a 5-year warranty!) - especially their Ecodrive and perpetual calendar watches. Although Rotary and Citizen are not in the same league as Tag, Omega, etc., they are not "cheap" watches anymore - £200+ for their higher end models.Gotta say, that Rotary looks stunning.I have to admit I'm a huge snob and seldom even look at the Rotary's and Citizen's etc... I head straight to the expensive shelf and bypass the rest.
Having said that, if I had your money Andy I'd head straight to the expensive watches too.
That looks superb Alan - and what a great presentation box too
I am no Watch guru by any means, but i must admit I have never heard of some of the names in this thread like Jacob & Co and Ebel and theres maybe a few more... Will need to have a good nosey round to see what kind of watch makers are out there.
Andy I can see why your drooling over that Tag and Ebel, they look amazing
Again this is the same in life as everything else, people live by their means and buy what they can afford to buy. At the moment my means are none existant and previously have not been much more than that either, that TISSOT I got was the most I have ever spent on a watch and it felt almost like I was getting a mortgage at the time!!but in comparison to some watches in here it's peanuts... So when I go jewellers shop window
I start from about the Citizen or £50 upwards mark and kinda stop at the lower 3 figure area otherwise I might have a heart attack if I look any further up. But then you are'nt going to really see any really fancy watches in Dundee jewllers anyway i wouldn't think.
I remember being in Barcelona out walking around the mall after dinner with Alan and his Julie drooling over the windows of one of the jewellers shops there, I must have looked like one of those Garfields that you see stuck on car windows with his face right up against the window and his hands(paws) stuck on the window. The same happened again whilst in London with my relatives last year...

My best mate, and soon to be best man next year, has this one. We both got ours at roughly the same time, and if he had not got it, this is what i'd have got, such a beautiful watch!Tag Heuer Calibre S
MINI F56 Cooper in Deep Blue with black roof and caps.
Well, you would take Julie with you
That is one stunning watch so how much would one of these set me back then?...
Well, you would take Julie with you
Your prbably starting at around £1200 and only going to be heading upwards from there!!!
On the high street - circa £2k
Internet - circa £1400 (but will it be genuine?!)
Or you could buy a replica from Thailand for $125, including free delivery
