Worn my Rolex Datejust everyday for last 45 years except for the odd service.

Jager Le coultre Gran Sport for posh. Rolex s/s submariner for everyday. Footballer, moi? Je ne crois pas......

bit tricky when wearing a double-cuff shirt  RRS HSE TDV6 Autobiography

hahah grahamsjz ill have to remeber that ,
i keep mine going in a 25 quid watch winder do keep meaning to for out for a nice display winder but cant justify it when me 25 quid one does the job only the dead truely know peace,
Bootneck its not a job its a way of life!

Had similar discussions with Mrs Bean, something along the lines of "so, you spend all that money on a nice watch and it stops working if you don't wear it or put it in a watch winder, and its not actually that accurate" - "Yes"

I put an end to the recurring debate by buying her a limited edition Cartier earlier this year, not heard a peep about expensive watches since  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black

My missus has no room for argument - her Cartier Tank has been in the safe since I bought her a Chanel J12. She has nicer watches than me! Thankfully, the Cartier is quartz......

After losing about 3 cheap watches when we were courting 20 odd years ago, i bought my missus a Tag Heuer (before they went all cheap!) thinking it might stay on her wrist a bit longer - it did and has been her daily wear ever since.
a couple of years ago for her 40th , i bought her a mother of pearl Omega Speedmaster, but she never wears it, as it is "too fancy"! Fact, women just dont GET watches!!

cheers

@ Phil, I opted for the quartz Tank Solo too, as I knew she'd complain that it was always telling the wrong time I went down the automatic route

@ Dave - I think that sums it up, they just don't 'get' watches  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
