I would love the limited edition gulf racing tag monaco but would need to be on a pretty hefty salary before I would spunk Ł2.5k on a watch.

I love my Rolex. Bought it about eight years ago. Hardly ever wear it now though.

I've had my Seamaster Chrono for 3 years now. Wear it everyday. Perfect rugged watch

Really fancy one of those U-Boat ones that someone posted the other day. Quite ugly but for some reason I think it's cool

I'm gonna spunk a few k on a proper watch when I am chartered, or maybe when I pass my degree purely as a gift and a well done for myself.

I dont get the facination personally but I do want a proper watch that will be rugged and last a long time

I love them. I got a few, Tudor (Given as a gift from the rolex man himself!) Carl F bucherer, Hamilton and a few Seikos.

Had a look at a few watches today. Tried on a really cool looking Harry Winston which was just stunning, but at $36000 a tad out of my price range and a really nice Frank Muller crazy time,long island black on black. Crazy, crazy money but it was very good deals which is the silly thing.I would like to get another nice watch in the next 2 years. Either a Cartier or a Harry Winston that I have fallen in love with, but again, thats starting to get in to silly money.
