Can't afford a new watch
I quite fancied one of these...
but even I cannot afford one. The black one is E18,000 and the gold one E24,000
I need to work harder. Maybe if I hadn't watched the tennis this week I could have made an extra few bob!

I tried on/had in my hands about £5Million of watches yesterday. If i had the money i'd have bought them....
Nothing wrong with either Casio or Timex, or Seiko. I have Two casios that i love and a Seiko that has traveled round the world with me and never missed a beat, fantastic watches.

If I was rich enough not to think too hard about spending £18k on a Watch, me.
TBH if I was rich enough, I'd have quite a few watches. Have 3 ATM. G-shock for the Gym. Seiko watch, and a Brietling.
Later this year, I want either an Omega, Oris, or another Brietling.

I may have jumped in a bit premature I respect any Valjoux 7750 AR2 movement, its just that they have cheapened it by adding the Porsche logo/name/brand to the watch.

Mind you the P'6612 might be a better comparison in the same price range.

Especially this one
Porsche Design Flat Six Automatic Chronograph P 6341.13.44.1169 Watch at Jura Watches £3,235.00
I wouldn't pay that much for it though. Any "design"/"fashion" watch like this with a 7750 is worth about £1k imo. Ball and Sinn have their pricing right in this respect (although they aren't in any way fashion watches)

When a Patek Phillipe quartz watch costs almost as much as the automatic you cannot claim it is the cost of the movement!
I like the Pewter faced flat six quite a lot!

i'm beginning to think snetters entire knowledge of watches has been garnered from CAR magazine or the inside back cover of a Sunday Supplement, put me down for one

Yeah i see what you mean. I'm not too clued up on Pateks quartz movement but i'd assume it's going to be one of the finest quartz analog/mechanical movements ever made. When Rolex made their quartz watches until a few years ago their quartz movement was an outstanding piece of kit. It was basically their 3035 mechanical movement with a quartz power source instead of a spring/balance. I'd imagine Pateks are the same sort of thing and probably cost as much to develop/make as the mechanical equivalent in the same watch.

Next you will be saying that most Snetters entire knowledge of cars comes from evo magazine or watching Top Gear!

Know nothing about watches but I do know that I have had a G Shock for 11 years that has never missed a beat (two battery replacements) and keeps the correct date until 2032 and another "smarter" one (black ion Cockpit) that's two years old, smart enough and has been battered but still brilliant.
I just do not "get" watches over £300.
