£7,995 ladies Rolex Oyster watch, diamond encrusted on a gold frame.  It sits now in a local jewellers and I am tempted....to bloody tempted!! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;)

Oh, Lizzie.......and I had such a high opinion of you. ;) :-* :-* :-*

Rolex watches are crass and brash. They are only suitable for brain dead footballers and their WAGS. Only Rolex can made an £8000 watch look like a £10 watch from the petrol station.

Dragging on a bit that one, but it seems par for the course. If you're anything like me you will be quietly seething but, in the long run, that's the worse thing you can do. It will make you ill eventually.
Think nice thoughts and look forward to next spring, when it should all be sorted and your new orangery will be going up. Even if you get a payout sooner, the spring is the best time for building work, and you'll probably have to book your builders well in advance.
Cheer up old boy  :-*

I would like a full range of air fresheners and an anti mist pad for clearing the inside of my windscreen at Farnborough station (the air fresheners will kick in to overcome the damp smell - well a bit any way)

Oh hold on. I thought this was a "what does TB want" thread.


In that case, dear Santa;

Bigger garage, preferably en suite. Bigger drive. Bigger house in a rural location.

Although not necessarily bigger. More .....spacious.


Not toooo much to ask,  I don't fink, prety please, uncle Santa. 😇 :)


You forgot Omega V8 with engine fitted and working :D ;D


No I wouldn't trust Santa with that job. But the premises would help greatly. :)

Ooooo, I bet I could get discount...  ...but:

a) not sure it would suit me
b) I don't own a watch any more, or have a desire to own one


As an aside, did you know Rolex are a charity? And that is also one of the reasons its virtually impossible for jewellers to be allowed to sell Rolex.

Are we sure this isn't the "what chrisgixer wants for xmas" thread ;D

Whilst a bigger garage would be useful, I have no desire to move at the moment.  2 doors down would have been nice, but it wasn't possible to sell mine with a load of rubble in the garden, and no garage.


Sadly, I think you may have missed the boat on your ideal home ((almost!!) within your budget). Maybe the option will come up again :y

Ps, TB... where did you get your Clarke 135TE? Can't find one online any cheaper than £287 inc.VAT.

You are talking about the cheap metal cased ones Opti.  The top end ones, starting at about £8,000 just leap out at you with their diamonds and gold, shinning wherever you go, oozing class and sophistication, with their second hand gliding, not stuttering, around it's pretty face. 8) 8) :-* :-* :-* :-* :y

Really TB?  Why is it that wherever you go the top jewellers sell with pride Rolex watches? ??? ??? ???

PS This is the official Rolex web site listing the retailers of their watches; only the best!

This particular model  sounds like it was once owned by Liberace. :D :D :D :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Sorry, Lizzie, but I think all Rolex look tacky. ;) :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

You are correct, Lizzie... :y :-* :-* :-*

The old Silver Shadow and Silver Cloud possessed a certain dignity as they wafted effortlessly along. :y

The new range of of BMW owned Rolls Royce will appeal to 'wealthy chavs'...... :-\
