Got to admit that this thread really puzzles me - I just cant see the attraction in paying huge sums for a watch when a cheap Jap seiko or even your mobile phone will tell the time more accurately. Seems like a sort of male equivalent of fancy female handbags but women are supposed to be the vain sex, not us. Has that now changed?

Now I must admit that SWMBO considers me a bit of a scruffy old sod, but it seems to me that you couldnt sensibly wear such flash watches without going the whole hog on clothes and grooming to go with it. Saville row suits, Jermyn street shirts ( is that right?) made to measure shoes, even male perfume and moisturiser. Personally I have always taken the view that washing is the english way, perfume is the french way.

And if you do all this , how can you drive a Morgan without spoiling the effect? Do you have designer overalls when doing the odd job on the car?
