Thread: What types of watches do you like?

Got to remember that one. ' Where did you get THAT?'

'Oh, it fell off the back of a Lorry!'

My dad worked for the City of N.Y and some of the Italian guys had "connections" and a variety of items were always being offered at cut rate prices. My first watch was a Timex he got in that way. Yea it was like a private wall mart them to you.

Yep.

I'm fairly neanderthal in many ways; mostly in state of mind.

What a nice moon/swatch. Did you buy the whole set?

Just kidding.

I used to have one and it's one of the few watches I sold and very much regret. It's about as classic a watch as you can get.

I'm probably the only person who thinks so, but I think Swatch was off base and daft to introduce that cheap-o Moonswatch. Looks like a Cabbage Patch dolls or Beanie Baby kind of a marketing idea.

"Collect them in all the colors."

Still, most are jumping on the Moonswatch bandwagon.

I'm just awaiting Rolex to introduce its own line of cheap-o plastic, battery powered Submariners. I am holding out for a yellow one if they do. That way I can have a Yellow Submarine(r).

To me this whole moon-swatch mania is evidence people don't buy watches for any intrinsic value. It's all about the name and what that is worth. Those watches are selling on line for almost 2 grand from watch outfits and private sellers are getting 3-4 grand for them.

Mindboggling to me.

Those Beatles had some good stuff in those days!
