I don't own a IWC (MrsK would explode if I bought a IWC as well as owning 2 Rolex Wink ) - but I really like them...This one's nice:

I’m fortunate in that my local Rolex dealer is “old school”, i.e. an old boy who repairs them himself. My Explorer II failed at the end of last year (wouldn’t keep going for longer than about 12 hours once taken off) after 15 years without a service or even the back removed.

He had to order a mainspring and a couple of parts from Switzerland, but total cost four hundred quid and it’s never kept better time; not, of course, as accurate as the £4.99 one from Argos that I wore while it was being repaired!

The King Of Cool’s watch (McQueen Explorer with an orange second hand) certainly commands a premium, current Explorers can also be ordered with a black face, not sure I like it…

If I needed a second watch it would be a Sinn Flieger. Breitling? Well, matches a blinged-up, polished Defender with a squillion watt sound system I suppose.

Cartier Roadster, bought in Dubai on a visit to see my sister in 2006, worth more now than when bought.

Comes with a leather and a rubber strap as well as the bracelet and they just click on and off. Beautifully made.

For anyone thinking that the sevice costs of Rolex are expensive, have a look at the skill needed to work on them...

Would love a Bremont MB-1, but they are only available to those that have ejected from a plane fitted with a Martin Baker ejector seat. Though the MB-2 is available to the public.

Sounds like mine Thumbs Up my 24hr hand is a faded orange now but apparently desirable like that.

Mine was left to me by father in law, it was just about all he had - a really good investment though as I believe he Bly paid 500 for it, quite a while ago now though. Shame he couldn't enjoy it himself a bit longer.

Some nice kit on here.

For the summer/beach time I still own a Citizen Aqualand from the 80s. Bought my first one in 1986 while tent-camping at Cannes/Cote d'Azure just after getting my drivers license. Found it in a surf shop and still love it. Had three of them, silver one, black/gold one and still have the one in silver/gold

That Bell and Ross is a lovely watch.

Perfect for Morgan 3 wheeler owners.

Bought this in 2003 before I went off to invade a small country. Keeps perfect time, glows in the dark and it don't need winding up. I changed the front glass for a sapphire one to keep it scratch free. Cost me £80!
