Their after sales is appalling.
So, my wife has a Gucci watch that she can only wear at certain times of the year, as when the clocks change she can't change the time. 

A friend of mine works as a jewellery valuer. She informed me not long ago that the movements in Gucci watches cost about 56p, pretty much the cheapest it’s possible to purchase and still make the hands go round. Clearly the rest of it is a similarly premium affair!

All of these fashion brands are just cheap watches. You pay for the name, obviously. I wouldn’t mind betting that the cheap copies are actually better watches.

Why is it that men think buying women tools and equipment for doing housework is a good thing?

Because we love it when we get bought tools and equipment for our hobbies Lizzie!

Can't afford a watch.....or shoes.

Maureen was the hardest person I've known as regards presents.She couldn't wear jewellery as she was allergic to it in any form,she wasn't much of a chocolate fan and was diabetic,she didn't wear perfume and only on super rare occasions did she wear make up.I once bought her some flowers and got a million and one questions about what I'd done wrong/was going to do wrong etc. and never bought her any more Finished up solving the problem by buying her nowt at all

Now that is something I can understand!

My hobby is collecting shoes

We love something for US, not to do our daily chores with!  A lovely perfume, DIOR J'ADORE Eau de Parfum Spray being my favourite (£94.00 for 100ml).  Or a lovely handbag from a designer label, like Radley, Ted Baker, or DKNY, for the cheaper ones - £150 to £300 for the larger sizes - or, really making a girl feel great, GUCCI!

I agree with the first sentence    but I refuse to buy any Gucci item after previous experience. I bought my wife a Gucci watch, costing around £650, and after a couple of months the clasp kept popping open. It was returned under guarantee and when it was returned to us it was just the same so I modified it to stop it keep falling off her wrist. Then, the date/time knob fell off. Emailed Gucci many times and they just ignore you. Their after sales is appalling.

That is appalling!!

Assuming it wasn't a fake, as is common, but Gucci accepted it was one of theirs, I would have demanded my money back and involved The Small Claims Court and Trading Standards if they failed to play ball.  Paying that much for a watch, although you can pay many thousands more, should mean you get quality.

Yes, really you have to buy an Omega or even better a Rolex to get real value for money

Is buying a clapped out car value for money

Do people still wear watches? I haven't for 14 years. Plenty of ways of telling the time from the sun (big yellow thing in sky above your clouds), mobile comms, chemist shops , clocks in cars.

You get a lot for your money buying an Omega car when you consider for the same money you can buy an IKEA chipboard wardrobe.

Having worn a watch for the last forty years, for me it's the most efficient way of checking the time.  A quick flick of the wrist means I can tell the correct time without stopping what else I might be doing. As a result, I never look at clocks and find that using a phone is no better than using a pocket watch(I've got one somewhere).


I have several that I swap between:

Ironically most/all new Omega Watches cost far more than our Omega cars (apart from mine!! ) and will last many years more!

These gifts will make her love you ever more.  Just stay clear of lingerie unless you really know what she loves, and dresses the same if you do not know her correct size and current tastes!

So what colour RR would you prefer?  Lovehoney probably do a fantastic collection.

Purchased from the Gucci section of Ernest Jones jewellers shop.    Should have bought her a Tag. 
Bought her some undies once and the crutch hadn't been stitched together. I mean, what use are they.
