Don't care what people say expensive watches aint always the best I find a swatch is more attractive then any omega or rado

i know what you mean Luke, ive got a swatch i bought on the champs elysee and its wicked but i must admit it doesnt compare with my Rado sintra..
the swatch jsut doesnt fit my wrist as well as the rado.

is £73 for a watch expensive then?
:s
if so ive been living way out of my league.. all of my last 3 watches have been over £100.. had a Animal pro series that was like £130, then a Armani something or other at £250 now im on my Rado Sintra at £1600...
you so get what you pay for in life though, my old dear got a rolex something or other like 4 years ago at a snip at like £12000 but it looks a good today as it did then, jsut like my Rado, its just over a year old and a) its still as shiny as it was and b) ive still yet to see anyone else with one and c) chicks love the shiny blackness of it!

mr fatreg, indeed a rado is high quality, but I really don't think they are worth the money because even though they are nice and can look pretty fetching (never though id say that) for me they aint practicle for me, my last expensive watch wasnt to much (around 400 i think) and was a well reconized brand, but it really doesnt hold up with what I do, and the surfaces just end up ruined. I now go for the cheaper and in my opinion better made watches. I personally think that swatch im getting looks pretty dam nice lol better then my old watch and the omegas/rados Ive traded/owned

But most people on here think nothing of spending £300+ on a mobile phone. I know which one will outlast the other.

As you say it may do much more. But paying £300+ for a phone is madness, especially when in 6 months time it will be worth less than half. Where as your watch will still look as good as the day you bought it.
Dont get me wrong if I had the money, I would have a nice watch and phone, but as it stands, I would sooner pay for a decent watch.
