£6.45?

 

watch idiot savant ?

 

There was a piece on R4 yesterday about the watch market, it would seem it has little to do with telling the time.

 

It's like owning a Ducati. There are bikes out there that will do a better job cheaper. But they ain't as priddy.... You pays your money, bla bla etc...

 

Thanks for the felicity Eddie. May the Gods honour your family.

(probably too obscure for most here)

 

Yep, like me.

 

Ah, well spotted. I wondered what you were on about.

 

I don't have a watch :Sorry: EDIT: and less money than you too :Arghh:

 

Indeed, albeit you must be at a privileged level if you are thanking Eddie for the use of his Felicity. Nice girl?

 

I have heard the term but are you going to expand upon this ?

 

Sorry Johnv, as you'd picked the term out correctly I thought there wasn't much to add. You referred to the watch market as strange, in some quarters of watch enthusiasts, that is a term sometimes used to refer to themselves. The enthusiasts themselves also being some times considered slightly strange.

 

I am assuming it is term used with pride in some quarters, a bit like geek ?

 

Do you get your watches serviced?

 

do you change your belts every two years...?

The Belt Driven Watch

 

Don't mention belts

 

Na, don't keep them that long

 

I see it's from California :Bag:

 

I don't really know, it's not a term I personally use.

 

on my tag watch I get change the strap every two years and the bezel every five. My momentum dive watch is a tough as the come and smells of vanilla. The sado Rado is a pain in the arse to tell the time off but matches the missus's so I have to wear it when we wear matching anoraks

 

I wouldn't trust what that watch tells me, It's two faced.
