I have several vintage Omegas, including a first edition automatic Seamaster that my dad had and gave to me for my 18th. I just tried to take a picture of it on my phone, but it doesnt want to cooperate
I also have an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

Yeah, but i want to get the new Survivor edition,mostly Titanium and only 1000 made, but not much change out of 30k!

I think someone at West Drinks was wearing one of these a couple weeks ago.
Really? That's an £8k watch!

And I love this review of it culled from Amazon;
The most honest watch of all, 3 Sep 2008
By ["Kilian"[](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pdp/profile/A1NF7QBPR6GV0W/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp)
Most watches are markers of status. Whether they be made of gold, platinum or silver, or have a strap made of alligator skin, or a chronograph, or an array of formula one racer functions, or a fashionable brand name blazoned across their face, they are prosthetic phallus extensions, which the honest man disdains. This watch is different. It exudes honesty. It is made of cheap black plastic resin. It tells the time. That is all. Not a frill in sight. Its only notable features are "quartz" and, even more impressively, "water resist". Not "water resistant" mind, but "water resist". Which is to say that like all physical materials except perhaps the sponge, it - to some extent - repels water. But submerge it in your washbasin at a depth of one centimetre and it will be finished. I am not a scuba-diver, nor are you, so this is not a problem. It is the first watch I have ever owned that I do not occasionally catch myself looking at admiringly, thinking, "my, what a marvellous piece of craftsmanship, don't I look the gent with this fine accessory attached to my wrist!" This is a good thing. Honesty is a good thing. A philosopher might interject, "but you are fetishising its 'honesty'; this is as much a form of dishonesty as any other, it is a perverse masochistic kind of anti-status status that you covet, after all! Hypocrite, you are having your cake and eating it!" Yes, but it is a more honest kind of cake, and I anticipated your point so it does not count. I rest my case. Buy this watch and become an enlightened human being. Or buy a Nike Platinum Chronograph Sport, or a Mont Blanc, or even a Swatch Limited Edition, and risk incurring the scathing mockery and ridicule of the growing community of Casio MQ-24-7BLL-sporting men of the world. We mock you. Yes we do. Because we see through you, and through ourselves as well, and we prefer our selves to yours. -
The Royal Oak isnt that big compared to a lot of whats out there, it was a gift as i could never afford what it costs, however i like it as it is one of the few watches that lives up to the hype and does what it says on the tin, plus not many people know what an AP is, it hasnt been footballered yet
However i still wear a 20 quid swatch day to day!
-
Yep, £8,000 for a stainless IWC Big Pilot.
But the one I think I saw was rose gold.
The gold one! Fuck, that's £15k! I can't imagine anyone would be stupid enough to wear that on a bike

Ugliest watch on the thread
Give your head a shake mate!

Oy vey!
That anniversary edition is gorgeous. But I'm so broke, I can only dream.
If anyone is mega-rich and wants to buy me a treat... I'd love one of those!
