My first watch[possibly even first couple]was indeed a Timex. I find a watch more convenient than mobile phone,with the phone I have to hoik it out of my pocket and get it to light up[or whatever it's called for the screen not to be blank]then replace it into pocket,with the watch it's just a quick glance at my wrist.
Exactly, it is still the easiest way to know the time whenever you want to.
Besides, for people like Field Marshal Opti it must be so morale boosting flashing your Rolex (I wish I could!)
Don't like Rolex watches.
There is an old saying......the only thing worse than a fake Rolex is a real one.
Rolex seem to have the uncanny knack of making a £10,000 watch look so gaudy and trashy that it looks like a £10 watch from a petrol station.
Really!
The £9,700 ladies Rolex watch that I have been tempted to buy looks every inch the high gold, very bejewelled beautiful item of jewellery that the price tag suggests
Just cannot justify spending that kind of cash, if even I had it spare, on a watch though, and more importantly the risks someone faces when wearing one is just too great
