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....

I don't need chronograph, hence why I don't own one.

However, the quality was my point - and Breitling is so Anti chav it's untrue.

The prize winner is your words "to me".

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

At the end of the day they both tell the time equally well, just that one is a status symbol, whereas the other just tells the time..

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

Yawn... Build quality, materials used, aesthetic appeal

How is a £5000 bike better than a £100 one?

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.

I think you'll find that many people regard some fat (old) slag wearing tons of jewellery in a similar vein as the expensive watch brigade Freak.

Tiffanys exists primarily to take money from people who believe the hype. They go there spend a few thousand dollars on something costing about 1/5 of the price from somewhere less famous and then brag about it to their social climbing mates on their shoebox estates/Harvester pub/health club in an out of town shopping center.

Classy.

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.

Wow a Subaru, that must make you the envy of all the local scum. I bet you feel so proud as you drive around.

I have a nice watch too, it's a Casio F-91W black resin case Chrono. It rocks old skool style and cost £1.

Class and quality for less than price of a vending machine condom.

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.
