Reply With QuoteThinking about things other than what comes up on SC or Watch Talk, I buy quite a lot of music after seeing triggers on various parts of the forum.
Outside of watches, what has this forum 'made' you buy?
I'll start:
- Schott USA leather jacket
- Cheaney boots
- Loft of Cambie WOLYT
- Hiut jeans
This is just what I can remember off hand...
Cheers

Bruce Springsteen tickets. Would've likely missed it otherwise.

A few watches but a few things I definitely wouldn't have bought otherwise, these are the ones I'm glad I did;
- Filson bag
- Sony X Series Walkman
- Hiut jeans
Nothing specific, but it did make me into a collector of trinkets and baubles. Aside from watches, primarily torches, pens and knives. I've recently cleared them all out and have discovered in many cases a £30 watch a £15 pen or a £5 knife will work just as well, and will probably get more use too.

To many expensive watches.
The wrong size shoes.
Watches
Sunglasses
Knives
Jackets
Camera lenses
Light tent
Tripod
Probably loads others I can't think of right now.
Barbour jacket,
Leatherman Wave,
Oakley shades (sold on again),
2 xLaptops,
Galaxy S3
Electronic gadgets (ipad, printer), wallet and camera equipment...plus the ability to diagnose myself with flipperitis
Off the top of my head:
Plus a load of watches...
You're not on your own there!Originally Posted by Jon Kenney
Wow, just the kitchen sink to complete the collection!
For me other than spanking too much money on watches I would have been all over those industrial laser pens sold a while back if I had been quicker!
Nothing specific, but it's certainly opened my eyes up to things that I just wouldn't have come across.
I now own belstaff jackets, loake shoes, knives, an aeropress and hiut jeans- all of which are at least indirectly due to this forum: marvellous
This kart....
A new Bell and Ross watch.
About 3 grands worth of Cheaney, Loakes, Barkers and C&Js.....
Loake brogues, a pea coat, Bellroy wallet, Ridge wallet, AeroPress® coffee maker and Hario grinder.
In the cross hairs, a guitar even though I won't be able to play it!
A G-shock, a multi-tool, Cape Cod cloths and a spring bar removal tool are just a few that spring to mind
a watchwinder
iPad, golf trousers & shoes, Belstaff Panther, Levi jeans, bnwt's shirts, t-shirts, lanyards, screwdrivers, jewellery, sports bags, leather jacket. Sunglasses, hats, umbrella.
My other half thinks it's mad that there's such a varied amount of stuff to buy, she wants to know if any women's items come up! I tell her it's strictly for men's products.
Mange tout, a merkin, and a hang-glider.
Hiut jeans for me after hearing about them here.
This! They're now a regular part of our Sunday evening. Also a couple of handbags, a jacket, some shoes and a partridge in a pear tree

There must have been others, that's all that comes to mind though.
MX-5.
It hasn't 'made' me buy anything, but it has bought things to my attention that I might not have considered.
Barbour X Tokito
Loakes...lots
Matchless Jacket
I'm waiting for someone to buy an Samsung S7 Edge and then sell to me cheaper, like they did with my HTC M8.
Air pistol?
Why?
That's spelt Aeropress.
For me, several hundred quid's worth of single malts.
Just a torch so far. But it's early days!
Nothing till now... Keep on trying to resist!
£230 for a pair of jeans? Sweet b'Jesus. I'm all for buying quality but that's almost 5 times what a pair of Levis cost
Yeah, but think of the money you'll save on Persil.
