You can get an inexpensive Chinese one - some are well made.



No midrange tourbys to my knowledge - it's ?200k Swiss or ?2k Chinese.

Or a ?5-600 replica Chinese but I don?t think I could wear one myself!

Big old difference between a crap replica and a well made original design tourbillon! Just because all of the crap comes from China doesn't mean that everything that comes from there is crap.

I also definitely could not wear a replica. People ask you if it's real and either you lie, or you tell them it's not, and you look like a clown, and why buy a fake then say it's one... I don't get it.

I agree. What is this obsession with brands anyway? Worst is clothing where people are just walking adverts for brands; presumably they do it because they think the brands are 'exclusive', whereas the fact that every w****r wears it means it isn't, plus the irony that so many items are fakes anyway! Regardless of the product, if something is well-designed and well made, the quality will show, often through the perfectly executed simplicity. Also, even if no one 'gets-it', you have the satisfaction of knowing...

Now, where did I put my 'Versarce' sun-glasses, 'Gucci' shoes and 'Tommy H' T-shirt? Can't have people thinking any less of me!

Yes admittedly the quality of the fakes that are being produced in China are getting increasingly close and the quality of some of the replicas is amazing considering the huge price difference. But I still wouldn?t wear one and they?re far from a cheap watch still

It seems to be mainly insecurity with me those spending the most on big obvious brands are desperate to project the image of success whereas the truly successful couldn?t give a fuck what everyone else thinks!

Admittedly I?m quite picky with brands with clothing but none of them have visible branding and I buy based on fit and how long it lasts. The average person has no idea what engineered clothing and most of the brands I like are though!

I mean, anyone who spends more than ?200 (or maybe ?500) on a watch is buying it *because* its expensive. Its not like cars where you get a very tangible roi - mechanical watches tell time worse than quartz ones. We are social peacocks all of us.

I think you're wrong about cars. They're exactly the same. Some people buy certain ones because they're expensive bling I'm better than you.
There's only a few that are bought because of what they deliver.

Dark side of moon? Nice. Omega man here too

Nice one!

[ha_banos]

I still need to find a nice heart rate monitoring, gps, smart watch.

[gojira]

Havent worn a watch for 35 years, but I?d love a tourbillon if I could afford one.

Stop buying cigars for a week!

Aye.... That'll do it.
One week = a Patek Philippe [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

ROI on a watch is far better than cars generally. A decent watch will last a lifetime and not likely cost you a lot, maybe even increasing in value.

take Rolex out of the equation as that market has gone silly at the minute. But take my Breitling, a solid watch but not particularly ‘desirable’ yet it’s still worth as much as I paid for it almost 20 years ago. Sure the Apple Watch tells better time but it’s really not the point. fancy watches are jewellery as much as anything, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
