Shopping for watches

[Blue Lizard]

Having recently lost a friend through the dreaded C and another diagnosed i know how traumatic your job must be ...you earn every penny but i suspect that isn't what it's all about with people like youself who work in these difficult circumstances.....Buy your watch and don't listen to anyone!!

[Chrissie]

  Until I retired two years ago I was a McMillan Nurse,and I have three lovely watches.....which I have spoken about before on the Forum...... all bought from Oscars ,and all still working and very beautiful.

[Chrissie]

  Of course...I have to add the watches only vary from me in the fact that they are still working !!!

[Enişte]

So you were bought from Oscar's?!

[Chrissie]

You know,I may have been but I sadly no longer have my parents to check out the facts . It may however explain why for the bast part of forty years I have travelled to Turkey and always feel at home there.

[Chrissie]

best part ,that should read.

Glad I could help clarify things - saves all that expensive genealogy research

[Kefgirl]

Well thank you all for the kind words.. (embarrassed!)
It's a pleasure to do my job, I only wish I wasn't necessary really! (only 4 years in Feb until I retire  )

You will need a watch to count down the time....

Sorry...can't ignore Misty's post - clearly directed at me.
You are entitled to your view and your moral high ground, Misty but to hurl insults at those who don't agree says more about you as a person than those you are disabusing....in my opinion of course

[misty]

No it wasn't directed at you I just think that its foolish to spend good money on fake watches, I deal in highend watches mainly as a hobby, there is very little money to be made anymore but it allows me to own various watches, this is why I feel strongly about counterfit ones and have researched the subject in depth.

Again not directed at you but in my opinion I think its a bit sad and shallow that people want to pass fake goods off as real to impress others.

[Blue Lizard]

I have no hesitation in telling people it's a copy..that way you won't get battered over the head when you leave the pub ... i mightl buy another this year..whats the point of spendulating £5000 on a watch and not being able to wear it?

[kalkan4eva]

Misty, I would have prefered an apology as well as the explanation...but you obviously don't see what I see when you read the post
Like BL, I never try to pass off my fake goods as the genuine article. When other people mention how gorgeous my watch or bag is, I always reply "it's not a real one, you know!"
By the way, I also don't need these things to impress anyone...as you would know if you ever met me

[Kefgirl]

Agree completely, I have an amazing sparkly ring that everyone admires, but I always admit to it being a Marks&Spencers one! 

[misty]

Kalkan4eva....I really feel I have nothing to apologise for 

Obviously its your choice but do tell me then why do you buy FAKE goods then ??

[kalkan4eva]

My Franck Muller cost £70 four years ago

Only a fool would pay £70 for a piece of fake tat.......

That I believe is the crux of the matter, Misty.

[misty]

Well its my opinion that its foolish to pay such amounts...they cost no more that £10 to produce in China which is where 80-90% of the cheap poor quality fake watches are made. 

But I guess we are never going to agree on this one

I wear a rolex, valued at just over £6K, and I always tell people I bought it from a market in Turkey! Good copy they say!
