A Gucci thats about 10 years old.
My day-to-day watch is a Casio MR-G G-shock that I have had about 5 years. It has survived MTB crashes, a minimoto crash and once fell off my wrist while I was in a house fire and I didn't find it again until we were cleaning up. They sure can take abuse!!
The latest one looks good too

My current Submariner is 9yrs old and never missed a beat. My Cartier Santos is similar, both these watches are mechanical.
I also have 2 x Bulova side view drivers watches, both boxed and new. 1 x 1976 and 1 x 1977

Mine is some Ellesse thing they had on sale for £100 notes - 1/2 price. My watchs usually get mangles in car engines or I lose them. So an expensive watch is a no-no.

Have a Seiko 5 I bought in Singapore in 1974 when I was at sea. Put it on every now and again and it runs perfectly. Never been opened/serviced etc. Thats what I call value for money

Dont agree with that, most of the watches listed are approx £10 - £1000 I would guess, but also have a life of 10 years, so even the top whack ones are only £100 a year for the owners, thats approx 2 tanks of Scoob fuel AFAIK

It's just a name
SEIKO must be the most under-rated maker of timepieces IMHO

Nothing wrong with an old fella having an old watch
and the thread asked what watch I had (I have many, this happens to be my favourite - it isn't the most valuable!) Is suggest you step back and take a look at your attitude to others - yes??

Perhaps I could have phrased myself better, yes "Ferrari" is a name, but to then say my Ferrari is worth £100,000 is portraying symptoms of 'bigheaditus', you see how this works??
