[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I bought a Rolex once from a reputable jeweller in Manila.  It was $10 and lasted all of 18 months!

You know the old saying, Sir Tig?


There is only one thing worse than a fake Rolex...........a real one.

I could have bought a real one, but decided that paying $9990 extra for a second hand that ' sweeps ' rather than ' ticks ' wasn't value for money! 

For the first time in forty years I purchased a Sekonda watch. Simple elegant design with a brown leather strap. Cost £30.

My last Sekonda was manufactured  in the old USSR, and despite having 17 jewels (whatever that means) was total crap.

I inhereted a nice Hong Kong Rolex from an Uncle... apparently it was a couple of hundred dollars when he bought it, so clearly not the usual chinese rubbish

Works a treat, if I remember to change the battery that is but possibly a bit brash for work It feels bloody heavy too, but that's probably due to my not having worn a watch for the thick end of 18 years

Might be worth a few bob, Al......or not.

I believe Mistress Lizzie is looking for an elegant timepiece to adorn her slender wrist.

She is partial to a Rolex.

Missus bought one of those Hong Kong Rolex for 50$. 25 years ago, its still going strong. If 'i' too remember the battery...

Rolex with a battery inside ,I have a copy that came from Spain about 4 years ago,has auto self winding movement and a part glass back to view the movement,paid 25quid for it and it keeps perfect time(when worn,stops otherwise ),looks good too and bloody heavy.

I'm no experts in such matters, as you well know, but I'd wager a tenner than I need one significantly sooner than xmas
