I'm Bec and I too have a watch fetish.

I do like that one!

I think I have 11 watches including Swatches, a Dr. Marten one, Joe Bloggs smiley face, etc. I only wear one at once and I have three favourites, a gold antique one my nan used to wear constantly to remember her by, a silver D&G for my 21st, the only one of those three that I dare wear more occasionally though is:



Spoon by Pulsar

I have a Punkyfish one for everyday.

Wow, just found a pic of one.
Got to admit, i'm a sucker for 70's stuff... My first album was "sweet - greatest hits"

I'm not saying you shouldn't get that Vaan Konrad, it looks quite nice to me (personally I don't like a watch with too much going on in the dial but I like the layout and the registers on this one) and £65.00 isn't a lot to spend on a watch really. It's just you shouldn't expect it to be worth anything in the future or expect too much of it. Remember it is a cheap movement and it's got a lot going on in the dial, the more parts and functions a cheap movement has the less reliable it tends to be. It's not a bad looking watch though.

Just buy yourself a decent do it all utility watch

Oh I really don't like Tags. Too much marketing, like Rolex. I can only think of one event that is timed by my favourite brand, they do almost no marketing at all in the real world. It's all in a very limited range of mags in one particular field. Unlike I think all of the other Swiss brands, this company doesn't make any plain watches, everything they produce is a proper, tested Chronometer. Rolex, Tag, Weil and everyone else have just plain watches in their range. Anyone know who I'm talking about?

I don't imagine Casio even know what chronometer means!
