Run out of big issue to sell?
Why not chill out by rolling up some smokes from them wet butt ends.
Neighbours? Why I live on a desert island with nothing but my trusty Rolex and a mountain bike

How anybody wouldn't appreciate the quality of this is quite beyond me.
Also, the average "chav" doesn't know Breitling so it's not an object to show off really....

It may look "similar" but so does an Impreza sport to a Turbo with a scoop on the bonnet.

Ultimately, how is the £5000 Breitling, £4900 better than a £100 Seiko?

dammit beat me to it
Was going to make the comparison that noone bats an eyelid when women wear expensive jewellery.
pretty much the only thing a bloke can get away with (apart from rings) is a decent watch. therefore what is the problem?
Anyway- i have mine. Happy with it. so
If you started this thread and drive anything other than a £50 fiesta popular plus, then you have just made a total muppet of yourself

Those 2 watches look very similar indeed.
Could some of the expensive watch idiots explain how anyone is meant to tell the difference between the 2 at a glance? Do you hold your wrist at awkward angles so they can get a good look? Or do you just bring it seamlessly into the conversation like this
W@nk watch wearers dumb *** pub buddy "Been raining a lot recently hasn't it, Dave?"
W@nk watch wearer "yeah cats and dogs mate, still never mind because my watch is waterproof to 2 bar, here take a look, cost me 2 grand and that innit,I'll have a pint of Stella mate"
Nobody buys a watch costing over £500 in order to tell the time or to gaze at it's beauty. It's a status symbol, the only problem is the status it confers outside your circle of social climbing money grubbing mates is that of gauche idiot.

Not an expert but I do know all about Tiffanys, it's for tourists at the low end and unless you got a private showing in a luxury suite you bought tat from them.
I'm sure your wife is slim and lovely, what a lucky man you are. You must be an exception to the rule on here though.

I'm sorry, but that's JUST not true. You would never know in a million years what my watch is worth - most people have never heard of it. But i've worked hard to earn enough to own what i consider to be one of the most beautiful watches in the world. I have NEVER been asked what it cost, and i have NEVER crowbarred the issue into any conversation, ever. I wear a Seiko most of the time. Where does this leave your generalisation? On shaky ground, sir.
**** me i've missed this

So you are an exception to the rule then if we are to believe what you say. I believe that somewhere out there is an X5 driver who isn't a total tool.
Haven't seen one yet though.
