If you can find a Breitling Superocean II for £1000 let me know. I'll buy 2 of them.

Why have Breitling gone up so much in the last few years. I was shocked at how much mine had increased by in a 5 year period. is it just a sign of the times or is there a stainless steel shortage?

If you buy from one of the signet stores, I can get you a 30% discount off cost (Ernest Jones/Leslie Davies/H Samuels)
£5000 watch for £3500
£2000 watch for £1400
£1000 watch for £700
etc etc
I do of course charge a small 5% fee for my time, effort and contact, but still a saving of 25% off cost. Done it for quite a few scoobynetters already

An Oris dive would be my recommendation, that or two Longines HydroConquest automatics (a black and a blue)...

I have a Tag F1 Indy 500 as an everyday watch, paid 900 for it a year ago and it still looks new!
Im after a monaco or a nice carrera as a "dress" watch!

Obviously depends on what style of watch you like, chronograph's are fine but if you don't use it then why bother, once you have shown your m8's down the pub how it works, it's redundant!
Plenty of original and replica's that are good out there

A few beer tokens well spent, I'm sure you'd agree. Looks nice too...

Personally I would buy a nice cheap watch and bank the rest of the cash I have a few expensive watches and I have to admit they are a waste of cash. The only people who know you are wearing a quality watch will be yourself as most will just think a good watch is a copy. Waste a grand or more on a watch if you want but after you spend it you will realise its a waste My Rolex has cost a fortune in the years I have owned it due to servicing and insurance and I very rarely wear my other watches due to watch snobery

Interesting thread. I love Brietling. I read this thread and laughed at the comment about Easyjet pilots.
I work in an airport, and take the crew bus every day and noticed that nearly all young Easyjet pilots have Brietlings. :-) Many of the older pilots tend to have Omegas.
Mind you, this is only a passing observation, as 95% of the time Im eyeing up the ait hostesses ! :-)
