  1. #1

    If you had £8000 what watch would you buy?

    Just thought it would see what people would do with an £8000 budget.

    Rolex 1665 SD - but I already have one. So a couple of track days, Coke, hookers and just waste the rest.

    8k would buy you a great night out for sure but one of these might also be a good idea....

    Just to go back to the hookers for a bit, would you go quality or quantity ? I reckon quantity.

    Did you know that Cleopatra had a bed specially designed so she could enjoy 30 escorts at the same time?
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    30 Escorts? I bet it was like Alperton Ford round her gaff on a Friday night.

    Because the track days, coke and hookers aren't a waste

    I'd get a Royal Oak. From SC of course. With the change I'd go to my tailor and get a few shirts made, then choose the nicest one and go out spending the rest as above.

    How about a nice Oyedens men's analogue Quartz for £2.89 from Amazon and keep the change?

    What is the "Hookers" brand of which you speak? As for Coke - I prefer the Pepsi.

    I would buy as many Lois Erard watches as I could get my hands on for the money!

    Ignoring the obvious "I wouldn't", "Coke and Hookers" (Really? That was funny the first time I saw it, but it's worn a little thin now...), "A new car", "A nice holiday", etc, etc, responses, if someone said I could spend up to £8k on a watch at their expense, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is where the money would go, too.

    In the field of things that may last a little longer than the transitory pleasures above, £8k could get you a pretty good 3 watch rotation.
    All bought used.
    Transitional 16710
    Nice chrono, like for instance the Zenith Pilot (the discontinued small date, not the big date)
    Tool-ish diver, an MM300 for instance, or a Sinn UX

    Maybe a few pints left over?

    A nice 3-watch rotation sounds good. I've already got one, so it'll have to be a different 3-watch set. Kindly make mine a Speedy Grail 376.0822, a CWC RN Quartz Diver and an Omega SMP GMT 2234.50.

    If you had £8000 what watch would you buy?

    Today it would be this one for me. Jaeger-LeCoultre triple date phase de lune, currently on Chrono24.

    I think I'd buy that lovely speedy Ryan has just bought, and spend the rest on Hake and Cookers.

    You have a pretty tragic sense of humor here if you think hookers and coke is actually funny. Any man who pays for sex is a tragic man.


    Here is another vote for my own choice.

    True story - my oldest (4yo) was having a mardy the other day and refused to go and get washed. When questioned what exactly the problem was, he told me at the top of his voice "I'm not getting in the bath without my Hooker!"

    After a momentary pause and my wife helpfully cracking up from the other room, I realised he meant this:

    There is no such thing as free sex. New house, kitchen renovation, expenses associated with children, travel to here there and everywhere, etc. etc. etc... If that was not enough, then consider the poor blighters who naively thought they were having "free" sex and ended up paying child support for the next 18 years...

    You could try to minimize the expense associated with sex by not getting married and being on good terms with a hooker, but even that kind of sex is far from free.

    Any man who sticks his head in the sand is a tragic man.

    Well, good for me then that I live in Sweden where women actually work and make good money (my wife makes more than me). I'll leave this thread now and pray for your souls.

    I'm too old for hookers, and coke rots your teeth. So I'd settle for a Navitimer 01 I reckon.
