I’m going to get hydraulic suspension fitted to my scenic next weekend. Get a bit of low riding going (that’s what the cool kids call it isn’t it?)First.Aspect said:

Or just get a 'homage' brand like one of these for a few hundred quid. Decent mechanical movement and build quality and most people can't tell the difference unless they get up close and know what they're on about.

Nice! I would get one but wasn’t really in the market. I wouldn’t buy one of these fakes, kind of stumbled into getting them.Stevo_666 said:Or just get a 'homage' brand like one of these for a few hundred quid.

actually, one on the right just looks like a "diver's watch" so you'll get away with it.
one on the left, you'll need either a pig farm, scrapyard or loan company to get away with..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

If you like the Rolex submariner look, I can recommend Steinharts. Go shopping here with some of the money you'll save by leasing your next car

CWC diver's watch.
had one for about 15 years and it went to some very interesting places. Utterly loved it, so much sentimental value, never missed a beat. Looked mint all trashed up, so many stories.
Somefucker of a builder stole it while doing work to our house.
Utterly gutted..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

I bought a fake Rolex once in the Dubai 'jewellery quarter' or whatever the correct name is. Failed to last the taxi ride back to the hotel before going wrong. $19. Worth it for the bantz with the dodgy guys, like a 20 minute haggle. It got binned.
My tan lines show no watch is worn. Not a corporate hamster wheel clockwatcher any more.0 -
Unless it can tell you things like the depth you are at and whether you are going to get the bends and die in horrible pain, it's just a waterproof watch.MattFalle said:https://www.cwcwatch.com/collections/divers-watches

You're not buying them so you're not the one funding the fakery, wear one if you like it and don't give a monkeys what others think.0

Found the ideal teachers watch. You all have beards and glasses don't you?

that stuff you have a dedicated dive computer, not an overpriced watch with loads of bits on that ypu can't read underwater because its too small and can't use on land because its too big.
double set up never failed to work for us, but then again we weren't dentists or lawyers doing a PADI open water course in Kho Samui.
difference between doing it and doing it i suppose..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

The real divers are the commercial ones. Who smoke so they use less air and spend a day or two getting back to the surface.

I don't see anything wrong with wearing a nice / expensive watch. Unless you're born into wealth, they often signifiy an important milestone (first bonus, inheritance, mortgage paid off etc.) and it's nice to have a reminder of the moment.
