One man's meh is another mans wow.

I like the grey face and at c£4,000 it's not too expensive.

Lovely watch mate

Read some reviews on it..."very good entry level Rolex".

Sounds perfect for me!

Gotta try and convince the Mrs I need it for my birthday now.

Don't mess around take the plunge for the Sea Dweller or Submariner ;)

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

Nah, not a big fan of those bezels.

I'm sort of convincing myself I should be buying a nice watch now.
I came on here convinced I don't need to spend the cash and all that shit. But now....I'm working out the best way to get one here from UK.

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

Buy one in the UK on an AED card ;)

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

Back in the UK in June for a wedding I don't want to go to.

I'll save up a bit for it then can easily justify it with myself with some saved cash, the worthlessness of the pound and the VAT reclaim. :thumbup:

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

If you are after a good watch there is no need to buy new. A vintage one of a classic brand has kudos and should keep its value if looked after properly.

Go and speak to Tariq who runs Momentum in DIFC. They specialise in vintage watches and have some lovely items, all serviced and cleaned and with provenance. Nice chap.

I bought myself a Cartier Tank Vermeil from him last year at a good price.

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

Does he buy them? I have a Rolex I want to sell.

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

He probably does.

Best to gauge prices for yourself by doing a bit of research to see if you're getting a fair deal.

watchrecon.com should give you a general idea but it will greatly depend on condition and whether you have the box and all the other documents that originally came with the watch.

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

Thanks. Will check out the link.

No box or docs sadly. It was inherited so was tough to ask for the box!

Re: What's a proper watch?
 

He does. :)
