Steam punk?

That's the one! For some reason I kept getting 'squelch' punk!!

Wonder if in a parallel universe there's a Rolex's fake Accy thread?

Dear God it's hideous. Look at this picture, I hate everything about it.

It looks like a hip flask with a serious identity problem...

It's such a massive thing to have to shove into the pocket of your pre-ripped jeans which you're wearing with a shirt and tie.

Hmmm, it seems to be a universal truth that the more money one has, the less taste and elegance one displays.

Are you taking about David Beckham?

How about a Seiko 5? Mechanical movement, seemingly solidly built and £300 rather than £3000 Rolex bs?

Of course, a £30 casio will keep better time, but it'll also keep better time than the Rolex, or Patek Phillippe

I think we've discussed this brand of watch before, when one got stolen or something. It seems to me that its only function is to be tasteless and ostentatious in order to flaunt ones wealth.

And that's for a second hand , sorry 'pre-loved' one!

I think 'quite often' needs inserting after 'that'.

I know quite a few people with a few bob who have good taste.

I’m afraid 2nd hand Rolexes will tend to cost more than a new one. Check out the ’Exhibition Only’ signs next to the watches at your local authorised dealer. Influencer hype + demand from China + Rolex’s artificially restricted supply have made new watches effectively unobtainable unless you’ve done the necessary amount of sucking up (spending lots) with the dealer. A walk down Burlington Arcade in that London will tell you how “rare” Rolexes are and how many are bought to flip for a profit on the grey market. There are signs 2nd hand/grey prices are coming down but they’re still way higher then the retail.

Those blue ones are lovely. But then again, I do have a "thing" for blue dials...

I finally treated myself to one of these for my 50th last year. I really wanted with the blue face.

First looked at one about 15 or more years ago at Copenhagen? Airport and kept considering time and again as I passed through an airport over the years. Could finally justify it to myself for the big birthday, sold the other Tag I had bought pre owned which was always a little small at 27mm for my wrist). The 32mm size works really well for me, and isn’t easy to come by
Got a discount buying online from a jeweller in Crewe of all places in the end! Don’t wear often (Apple watch for every day) It’s now showing as discontinued!
I’ve probably worn half a dozen times since buying oops!
