<![CDATA[Fun Poll - How Much Would You Spend On A Watch?]]>I am ignorant. 😞


While I know that some branded Swiss watches can be expensive, only recently I realise how expensive they can be. :shock:

And that there are collectors who buy and keep these expensive time pieces. :!:

I just wonder, how much would you spend on a watch?

I am thinking of pampering myself with a watch. Budget around $2000. What do you recommend?
I personally like Tissot. Are you looking to get an automatic watch or the quartz one?

IWC is the 'in' brand now.. ..your DH got very good taste de.. 😉


So I have very good taste too ? :evil: 😉

I bought a IWC after much encouragement from DW. The reason that I convinced myself is that sometimes I do need to wear a good (and branded and expensive ... ) timepiece to match the occassion .... some people do judge us by how we dress. :oops:[/quote]Hehee... ..google IWC watch wearers and you will 😄 ..
Popular one thing, I do find IWC functional and 'steady'.. ..
Compare to the other watches at home, it hasn't gone back for repair just yet :xedfingers:

AuntieM, good taste cannot keep the stomach full. Over indulgent is a sin. Perhaps I m a too practical person. But it's difficult for me to change him. Over the years I m learning slowly to accept it. All my branded things are given by him. He says I m very \"neow\"!! He says buy an iPad $1200 must think so long... If u buy iPad just to play games and surf net, of course must think long right? Anyway, \"jia jia you peng nan nian de Jin\"

I understand your frustration peapot.. ..my DH also :yikes: me sometimes with his 'good taste' de.. .. :faint:

I m also curious about the people who are fascinated about watches. I m not one of them. My dH is one such person. He likes to buy designer watches. Some brands I have never heard of like ICW or something like that???


i 'liked' the ICW advertisement on the wall outside Geneva train station ..... \"Only a woman is more complicated' .....it says


IWC right?

Need not be very branded but the style should reflect the man's character.


That said, my DH prefers to wear his rugged stainless steel 16-year-old Tag. That was his first \"work\" watch and he probably paid $1.5K for it that time.

As in how much I would spend on a watch (nothing to do if I can actually afford it ah, must declare first 😂 ), men's watch = $10K, women's watch = $8K

I would say that I would be willing to spend a good 1500 on a watch if it has a good set of specifications. My last purchase was an Issey Miyake vue about 600 and it was worth it I guess.


Though I was lucky before to get some items from the Chronotech sale for just below 200. Those times would be a good chance to get a couple and just save them for later use.
