🤔

Ugly with the gold imo

With you @vickster - that's not particularly pleasing on the eye.

It's the gripe I have with a lot of TAGs - they're just ugly, almost like they're trying too hard. If @Accy cyclist wants to drop a big wadge on a poncy sport / dress watch, there are far better options out there.

I have a Tag, but it's not ugly. Didn't cost 3k either

I don't think Accy is actually going to spend 3k on any watch, just likes the banter!

Rag also don’t hold their value as well as the other brands being looked into.

That Rolex Air King just didn't do it for me, as they say. If it was £375 not £3,750 I would've bought it. Seriously though, I'm after a watch that looks 'flashy'/expensive, even if it isn't and to me that Rolex although nice didn't make a statement. Yes, it would hold its price/value, but there's more to life and a watch, than having something just because you might be able to sell it on for a decent price one day. I tend to live for the day, not the future. I have an 18 karat gold chain I paid £2,300 for about 6 years ago which according to my goldsmith friend is now worth about £2,500. Yes, it's increased in value, but so what, I don't wear it as it's too 'Mr T' for me and it's a theft/robbery risk, so much so that My friend keeps it in the safe in his shop. Yes, It's 'only' worth £2,500, but if I was to wear it I'd be forever checking it was still round my neck! My point is where's the pleasure in something, even if it holds its value, if you can't wear it, or don't feel comfy wearing it, either from fear of loss/theft or you just don't like the look of it! You obviously know a lot about watches @Regular.Cyclist . So much so that If you could, I'd like you to recommend a watch for me. I think £3000 is enough to spend, in my case. I'm after something that stands out to the general public, not really those in the know. It can be 'blingy', but also has to look expensive and not look too conservative and I'd prefer a metal strap to a leather one. 'Pre-loved' maybe, but it'd have to come with proof of authenticity etc. What would you recommend?🤔

Yes, I do like the banter and the discussions, but I am after a watch. I just don't want a 'why the feck have you bought this thing'🤔 moment when I open the box/parcel! I've been thinking, imagining that I paid £3,600 for that 1960 Rolex and even though it's just imagining, not actually happened, It's not a pleasurable thought! I said to a friend the other day that I could go on a Mediterranean cruise for that money, if I had a passport and I could take my mutt along!

You might ask why Tag Heuer all of a sudden🤔. Well, yesterday I heard a story on the radio about an architect suffering an attempted robbery of his 'expensive' Brompton bike. I heard "Well, what do you expect when they're sat outside these flashy cafes, wearing their Rolex's and Tag Heuer's, asking to be robbed"! Heck, 'expensive', 'attractive to thieves', well they must be the watch to be seen wearing🤔, thought I! You have to remember, I don't mix in circles where some poncy git in the know is going to grab my wrist and look at and start questioning my time peace! Where I go, a bit of bling, worn with the correct attire of course, means a lot!! Think big fish, small pond, not small fish, big pond!!

I'm just attracted to bling. I can't help it and do I want to?!!🤷‍♂️

 

[fossyant]

Just how long has @Accy cyclist been contemplating a watch now ? Months ? How time flies when you've not got a watch !

I bought that Raymond Veil watch the other month. I'm just thinking about buying another one.

 

[vickster]

If you want flash, look at a used Breitling?

Although if concerned about theft and not fussed about brand, just get something relatively cheap and blingy? Plenty of those around too
eg Tissot

Forget the look at my Rolex, Tag Huer etc, buy a Seiko, styles to suit everybody, the elegance selection would be a good starting point for you, but you don't buy a Seiko as an investment.

[Drago]

Ooh, a nice Seiko Captain Willard for me please.

 

[Venod]

This is nice and different at a more modest price than the Grand Seikos

[Regular.Cyclist]

Not one that came up with the filters vickster had set but this Tissot offers good value and just over half your budget. Real gold bezel.

https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-gb/t9274074103100.html

Or £20 over budget how about this.

Here you go Accy. £3750, looks elegant, will outlast you, and passes the Lewis Collins test.
