The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Sat in my local Working Mens Club,
Drinking inexpensive beer,
Wearing worn sandals, holed faded jeans, a 15 year old polo shirt that might once have been red,
...and with my Seawolf chrono sat gleaming on my wrist.

I suppose if nothing else it explains how I can afford the watch!

That's what I buy white polo shirts for... Some shorts and some sandals with that and all that keeps you away from the riviera's yacht clubs is what you paid for the ale.

The truly wealthy is him who has no need to show it by ways not involving his wrist that is. Good on you mate.

It's funny how that works. If Im in my work gear out somewhere. The response is totally different than when im dressed a little nicer with a good watch on...in my line of work I've learned u can def never judge book by its cover..

I'm always surprised in the airport business lounges. In Australia 1/3 are in suits, 1/3 smart casual and 1/3 high visibility mining/work gear!

Too true!



I was thinking about this last night and reminiscing about the holiday that I took with my 14-year old lad a couple of weeks ago, camping in the Highlands of Scotland. I realised that sitting on the banks of a sea loch, just outside our tiny tent, eating some smoked haddock that we got from the fishmonger in the nearby village and poached over our camp stove was far more pleasurable than all the expensive beach holidays that I've ever had.

Anyway, enough dewey eyed rubbish. Today I was back at work, suited and booted, and proudly wearing the newest watch in my collection; a Casio GW-M5610-1ER.

That and the Fjords of Iceland... places where, for me at least, the pursuit of happiness is just sort of... well easy really. I thoroughly love the Scottish countryside for the little I've been lucky enough to experience of it.

Me too! I love walking into a high end store dressed like I actually dress - jeans or shorts and a T shirt and seeing how they react.... Or don't. Their loss in the latter instance.

Had an experience of this on a recent shopping trip to the UK. Walked into an omega boutique on Regent street to take a closer look at the new AT models, which I'm considering purchasing within the next few weeks and the staff in the shop seemed very disinterested in a young guy dressed in jeans and t-shirt despite the fact the shop was empty.

I thought I would take it upon myself to ask them about the watch I'm interested in (total waste of time as they didn't have a clue about anything) and I ended up walking out of there within a minute or two...perhaps they should have taken a closer look at the watch I was wearing before parsing judgement.

In the end their loss I guess

I had similar at Watches Of Switzerland on Oxford St a little while back; I wandered past the shop a few minutes before closing and, having spotted the new Cosmo in the window decided to take a closer look.

Two smartly dressed chaps had just gone in but apparently my attempt to get in a minute or so later wasn't welcome as they "were closed".

Thinking about it, wearing jeans and being scruffy has probably saved me a fortune over the years!
