Omega Watches?

[Rhisiart]

I possess two watches, one expensive (graduation present from eons ago) and one cheapo, neither of which I ever remember to wear.

You know how a kettle never boils if you watch it, I find that the same with watches; time seems to slow down if you keep looking at them.

I never wear a watch, the straps always feel too constrictive to me, so I usually use my phone to tell the time when there isn't a wall clock around.

£3000 for a watch is a lot though, I don't think I even got that much spent on me for my 21st birthday present, infact I know I didn't. Whatever makes you happy though.

Happy birthday by the way.

I'm in love with my Rado Ovation Jubilé. My father gave me his original Rado Diastar (over 35 years old, I think) for my 20th birthday back then. I still love that one as well, but I wanted to buy myself my own Rado when I had the money. And one day I did.

I could have bet on it amazing though how Rado is more popular with swiss germans rather than the "Welsch"

I own an ebel sport classic (quartz), an ebel discovery (automatic) I wear the most often and my favourite the Zenith El Primero chronograph I was lucky to buy before prices got inflated ... and my dream an F.P. Journe Octa Réserve de Marche.

is crazy as far as i am concerned.

BTW - your watch cost more than a new Intel macbook!

How did I know id get this, I thought that a watch of that quality is more worthwhile as it will last all my life and also I have a job and my business partner are both saving to get macbooks

I also have two Suunto wristop computers.

I love Seiko's they are excellent mechanisms and they are really cheap (for a watch anyway)

My mommy and daddy just bought me a new Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, just for taking out the garbage! So there!
P.S. And the gearshift knob's got a 20 carat perfect cut DeBeers diamond set into it!
P.P.S. And in the glove box, is a matched pair of custom made platinum plated Beretta automatic pistols with my name in 24 carat gold, which I'm free to use to blow my friggin' brains out if I scratch my new Porsche 911 Carerra Cabriolet!
Bet ya can't beat THAT, ya smart ass kid!
Oh, by the way, I'm wearing an 8 year old Timex watch.

I am not trying to brag I am just trying to ask what watches people have
