I don't see how you can compare a watch to a car in any way what-so-ever. Especially since there are watches out there that never need a service, it seems it's just the expensive ones.
Yep, agreed! It's ludicrous to compare a watch to a car. I could buy a Casio watch for £30 that'll last maybe 3 years on the battery it's supplied with. Then lets say I just buy a brand new one every 3 years until I retire, instead of replacing the battery, and I would still have spent maybe the same amount you'll have spent on your "service"!
Precision instrument? It's probably less accurate than the clock on the bottom right of the screen I'm looking at
I know you're happy about the new purchase, but I'm happy about a lot of the things I've bought in the past and haven't felt the need to tell everyone about it. I wasn't saying that you intended to boast about it, but invariably that's how threads like this are read.
A car looses 40% of it's value within 3 years -A nice watch will keep 75% for life, and certain models will make money!
Erm... No - My Omega is never out when i check it against 123 for +1 hr -1hr etc.

What has depreciation got to do with anything?
So what? The clock on my computer is more precise.
So will some cars mate.
Don't read it then! Simples...
Can't put it on your wrist, or neck....
I never said you could, I said that it was probably more accurate than A4Quattro's watch, which it probably is. AND it's more precise than yours is. Imagine if you could put that super good timing capability into a watch!! Oh wait...you can...for a tenner.
The British way....knock someone down,anyone thought why the media always do it ?
sells papers cos so many love to see it here.
Eh...?!
british people prefer to slag someone off than say well done and see someone doing good....understand that ?
I disagree with that but either way this debate has nothing to do with saying well done. I'm happy for anyone who has worked hard and made a good living. In fact I'm happy for anyone who has won the lottery too. I just don't like seeing people spend so much money on a watch. It's their money and they can do what they want with it but I'm entitled to my opinion.
What does it matter what another person spends on a watch - I could say your mad for buying an S3 when you could have a 1.6...
But a 1.6 doesn't do THE EXACT SAME THING as an S3. And neither does an R8.
My 99 euro Skagen tells me the time and the date, which is the same as what your Omega does.
It's really interesting to see how you guys react about this subject.
I never lowered myself to a "mine is better than yours" campaign until people started calling my decision "stupid" and generally slagging me. Posting videos implying that I'm some sort of rich "holier than thou" tosser.
Those people who know me, know that was not my intention. Text can be interpreted however you like and it speaks volumes how some people interpret an innocuous statement.
If I had an R8 and I put up pictures would you call me a flash ******* or a ***** because I'd just lost 15k in depreciation?
Come one people, grow up. (you know who you are)
A £1000 Ford Escort RS can do what your S3 does....
As I'm the only one to have posted a video, I'll assume you're referring to me. I simply posted a video that threads like this remind me of. If you've taken that to imply that you're "some sort of rich 'holier than thou' tosser" that says more about your own opinion than mine.
Honestly, I think it's a great watch and I'm genuinely pleased for you, I'm just old-fashioned and prefer to keep my purchases to myself. You seem far too defensive about all this Chris, you can't seriously expect everyone to agree that (even mildly) expensive watches are worth the cash, so don't get so wound up when they don't understand your point of view.

Hold on a minute - You've owned a Rover 220 - That makes you opinion null and void.... Your definitely old (man) skool! lol
Again a joke - As people seem to be getting to touchy on here - Think the decorators may be in!
Back in 1996, I was quite proud of it. Having come to my senses since leaving my teenage years, I realise that was definitely a low point in my driving career.
