I like Watches. The problem is I'm basically working minimum wage job and have two kids to feed, so I have to be pretty careful about what I buy.
My most expensive watch was £300, and I've got a few more in the £150+ range. Not exactly a Rolex, but I like how they look on my wrist and I like how they make me feel like maybe I do have some part of my life together.
The brand doesn't matter at all as long as wearing it makes you feel good. Especially with watches where certain models can just be so ridiculously expensive sometimes less is really more I think.
What's your favourite time piece in your collection so far?
I've got this absolutely gorgeous Orient Kamuso thats got a green face and it looks and feels amazing on my wrist. That one cost me £220 iirc.
On the other end of I've got this Timex Weekender that's super cheap (like £40) that's an absolutely stunning watch for the money. Great nightlight too. Just a shame about the rather loud ticking.
The Weekender looks really nice, just a no-thrills classic watch face. I rather like that.
Super versatile too. I've got a few NATO straps for it and I change it up whenever I feel like it.
Me too! My most expensive was in the £300 range as well, I'm currently rocking a Steeldive "Captain Willard" homage (I think the model is a 1972) I absolutely love it. I have no interest in spending thousands on a watch even if I could.
