Finally bought a breitling on saturday
It is a work of art, went for a Colt Gmt with the white/silver face
Picking it up today or tomorrow can't wait.Got Goldsmiths down from £1365 to £1200, list price on blitz is £1180 so I think I got a pretty good deal.

They have got to make some profit, i'm guessing they haven't been selling much as they were very keen for the sale.

Nice
Toying with buying a navitimer at the moment.
Got some strange and suspect looks walking into jewellers last week in flip flops and asking about breitlings....until they saw I was wearing a decent watch already, then their attitude suddenly changed. Couldnt get it out of the case for me to try on fast enough after that point

Or is that just something I would do.

What does your scooby do that a j reg cavalier doesn't do?
I have the money to spend on a decent watch and I think breitling are a work of art so I bought one. In my opinion Casio g shocks look terrible and I won't wear one if you paid me, doesn't mean I would question you for buying one.
Freedom of choice I believe its called.

Either that or the permanents are paid too much and their bonuses are what the average contractor makes in a year anyway so pointless trying to impress them.
Now I only buy stuff I like and don't give a toss what everyone else thinks.

I won't knock anyone for buying one but I dont get it either.
The only jewellery I wear is my wedding ring, I dont do bling or piercing and Sekonda do nice watches for £40 but that's just me.
One of my staff has just bought a £2k+ watch for his 40th birthday, most of my other staff thought he was mad but then again I spent more than that on an amplifier.
Each to their own.
Cheers

A good watch is also a sign of good taste. You like the finer things in life, and appreciate good quality items.
Always remember, a good watch and a good pair of shoes says alot about a person.

It's like buying the missus a ring (etc.) for £1000, when one from Elizabeth Duke at Argos would do the same job.

I live in a seriously affluent area (I rent a flat so not showing off) with many homes costing £6 million+, a lot of them drive around in cheap (sub £5000) cars and dress quite normally. It's often those that don't have it that try to be something they aren't and those that do don't really care.
