As could be said of any fashion item. I guess you don’t have any designer clothes or footwear either and you only need a really cheap functional car rather than a nice one?

I am under 40 but have no appreciation of the limited edition band ones, awful in my opinion.

Sadly I can't go into detail on my old watches as it's not really possible to 'willy-wave' with a Swatch.
Not sure the commodore was much of a willy waver back then, but maybe more so now.
So I suppose the moral is, invest in any old willy give it a few years and show everyone you know.
Blimey, that's a bit of a hike, I am pretty sure mine was a tenner!
I don't like them either, I was trying to work out what market they are aiming at, I am mid 50's.
Calling all senior citizens of NSC, who like watches of the musical icons

Tag Aquaracer. Had it for ten years, automatic movement...my mate has a Rolex Sub. Piece of crap he says. Has to have the movement tweaked every year as it loses time. Costs him a bomb too.
I have 5 watches, all in a drawer, 'best' being a Monaco, also a very nice Christopher Ward which I received as a prize racing a few years ago, I haven't worn one of them this year on either wrist or even in bed.
You phone someone who has a watch?
And you're fine with that? She's clearly done something very very naughty.
How much time is it losing? A non faulty sub should be reasonably accurate for an automatic.
I never thought of that ................but now I do hope she's been equally naughty this year

About 5 mins per month. Not critical but very annoying. It’s been serviced in switzerland three times...still faulty.
Yeah that's too much for a Rolex. I have watches that are worse, but if paying Rolex prices I'd want better.
That's too much.
All Rolexes will be COSC certified meaning that they have to run between -4 and +6 seconds per day so, at the very worst, three minutes per month.
(That's 99.994% accuracy from a mechanical watch for those who say "I'd expect a Rolex to be more accurate than that)
Some years ago I had an original (1973) Heuer Monaco, that kept time within 1s a day, as does its modern replacement. (Old one got wet and died in Aus!)
I wouldn't buy another watch like it, no point other than as an ornament/investment

Yep. He calls it his Friday Argo watch.
The bloke assembling it was obviously on a promise.
