don't wear watches much but i have a fossil one for best, i like Dna's tag but can't see myself paying over 200 quid for a watch.

Wore my 'nice' watch out today, and nearly damaged it three times. Every time I though to myself 'you muppet, get a cheaper watch for work'
Im not going to go (too) mad...upto say £500
I know this has been done before but the last time nothing took my fancy.
Any ideas gents/ladies?
Pics would be appreciated...plastic is a no no btw
I have a nice Gold and Steel Tag Heuer Jules.
Cost a grand in '93 so never wear it to work.
In fact never wear a watch to work at all, as would get in the way, and get dirty and damaged, and i don't want to know the time at work.
Sorry, I haven't been much help have I. 
Can deffo highly recommend the Tag though. Lovely watch and will bear the knocks and water, just a pricey way to do it.

Well,
Was out having a late lunch this avvo and spotted a bloke wearing a nice looking watch.
Later I decided to bite the bullet...intoduced myself and complimented him on it. Turns out the bloke was french, and a real nice chap. Given I didn't know the bloke from Adam I didn't ask him how many ££££ he paid for it (looked very quality) and i was thinking it would be at least a couple of £k
just found it on the 'web
Taken from here:-
>clicky<
Time to flex the plastic methinks

People pay upto £500 for an everyday watch?! My 'nice' watch didn't even cost (half) that!
My everyday watch a $50 Guess Waterpro, had it for years.

Yup
Marc...funnily enough, in the same queue me and the missus spotted another nice watch...twas a yellow affair with black bits...looked great and was a seiko. Dont think it was one of the kinetic range though, ive had a few seikos in the past, back then they were the dogs danglies of watches.
They seem to be unfashionable now though

Also Kolingingus, when the Seiko stops, you stop. So its a good indication of wether your'e dead or alive

Got few watches, Arnette job for everyday use, another one which is similar and a high end Tag for nice occasions etc Personally save a bit more than £500 and buy a Tag or something, most watches under £500 are pretty shit and use Chinky mechanisms etc. I wouldn't spend more than £80 or so on a 'cheap' watch cause it won't last.
