Are there any watch lovers among us?

Beside cars, I like collecting watches.

Work watch - Cartier Santos 100
Evening watch - Rolex DateJust

What's in your collection Mass ??

I have a collection totalling 1 at the moment (a S/S Rolex Submariner). Had a 4000 Series TAG once upon a time, which I sold. I would like to add a Heuer Monza and a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona but I'm having trouble getting my good lady to authorise the release of funding She just doesn't get it.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that the majority of car enthusiasts also have a bit of a watch fetish too......don't know what the connection is but they seem to go together.

I have a few watches, both old and new, as I have been collecting them for years.

Formal ones like Panerai, Omega, Frank Muller, Seiko, Locman, Grimoldi, Citizen, Corum, Oris, Cartier etc

Casual ones liek Dunhill, D&G, Nixson, Armani, Gucci etc

I like the Monza too but don't have it.

The connections may be nice mechanics and designs???

My old (original) Tag F1 broke as I forgot about it in the back of a drawer for a few years and the battery leaked/screwed the movement. Had that since 1990

Anyway, I've now got a Tag Kiruim Automatic Chronometer... I love it.
I quite fancy a Raymond Weil though... there is a chunky one that keeps catching my eye.... my wife got a very nice Gucci thing recently so I'm hoping that if I see the Raymond Weil in duty-free (or on holiday) she might tell me to get it (if I can do the sad eyes)...

Never really been fussed about Rolex... but I do like Omega's

Was it the large blue bling watch?

If so, it would have been Locman (Italian military watch which has been blinged up with diamonds ) Bought it to match the CR.

I have amongst the cheaper stuff, Rolex Bi-Gold submariner, Tag F1 and 2000 pro.

Like the Rolex Bi-Gold submariner. Is it the Silver/gold/blue combination?

My mum bought me a 18ct gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date watch when she was working in Saudi Arabia in the late 80s. It really wasn't my style (I was a student at the time and guess I am more Timex than Tag) and I put it away in a kitchen drawer. When I was moving house a few years later I had a good clear out of all the piles of old crap that had gathered in the kitchen drawers then realised that I couldn't find it after putting it in the wrong pile. Mildly embarrassing and enough to put me off watches for good!!

Thanks Stu.

Jim, the watch was VALUABLE! Sorry you have lost it.
