Watches - another OCD problem
-
Looks like my watch straps had arrived after all, but were with our neighbour! The postman had neglected to pop a card through the door letting us know.
In an act of Christmas awesomeness, they sent me a free black 22mm black CXL strap to go with my two natural ones!
The 22mm natural is very cool, as is the free black one. Sadly, through no fault of the strap, the 18mm strap is too chunky for my watch (very little room between the spring bar and watch case).
So, to carry on the Christmas cheer, I'm going to give away the 18mm to the first person who posts below saying they want it. Just PM your details.

See, that's what you get for only having big watches…

My newest
I love this thing. -
So awesome G….and so pricey.

and so pricey.
Yes, it is. But I will make at least double what I paid for the PP and the JLC, the profit will pay for most of the Blancpain, the balance can pay off the loan on the Land Rover…...Sorted

I've noticed the prices of a lot of watches have gone up dramatically in the last few years too, which is surprising given the state of the economy.
The Blancpain looks gorgeous, though I might be tempted to get the Jaeger LeCoultre diving watch instead. The Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea and Master Compressor Navy Seals both add an alarm, which is a useful complication.
That said, I really regret not picking up the Rado Sintra Skeleton that I saw on sale in London over the summer. (OK, there were good financial reasons for not doing so.) It's a bit different, and a lot less macho than sports watches. It doesn't look quite so Las Vegas in the flesh either.

Tax return season is coming up and I've got my eye on getting a watch… the ones that have caught my eye so far:
Tag Heuer Carerra Day Date
Omega Planet Ocean (The big one)
or the Breitling Navitimer World
Any recommendations? Anyones I should look on this list? Breitling is favorite, then not sure about the Omega vs the Tag. Don't know if the tax return check will cover all of the Breitling though. Is it worth saving up for?
-
Personally, I'd go with the Planet Ocean. It's just a beautiful watch. The Navitimer is a classic, and to me, is the embodiment of Breitling style. Unfortunately, I don't really like Breitling style. If you do, it's really a spectacular watch. The Tag just seems a bit generic to me.
Of course, all of that is just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.;) Bottom line-go to a store, try each of them on and buy the one that makes you happiest when you look at it on your wrist. Screw everyone else.

I've tried em all on. The Breitling fits perfect, feels perfect, but alas is the most expensive ><
Anyone have any of these watches? How do the clasps hold up- how do they take to beating up (I am a 24 year old who manages to have a drink or two on weekends…) how do they keep time?
The omega was nice, but when I put it on the band seemed a little thin on my wrist.
Tag is prob my least favorite, but is also the cheapest.
Any good other recommendations I should try on before I make the plunge?
