Buying Jewellery on Credit

The concept of spending £1000 on a watch is a completely alien one to me. I thought long and hard before spending £50 on a radio controlled Casio Waveceptor. Not that I ever would, but if I did have a £1000 watch on my wrist I would be worried all the time about breaking or losing it. Particularly if I was buying it on credit.
But then, all I want from a watch is to know the time and the date reliably, without any "bling". A £50 watch I can afford to lose or break, but a £1000 watch, never in a 1000 years. Also the idea of "extras" when buying a watch. What's that all about.

I've got a £2k watch (Omega, it is gorgeous). I wear it every single day and never worry about losing it or it getting damaged although it is insured. It is, without a doubt, a beautiful watch that looks stunning. I love it. 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'

Following the death of my mother I wanted something to last a lifetime and remind me of her. I had around £1,000 to spend and had always fancied a Rolex. Large independent jewelers in the nearest city (Hull) that specialises in second hand quality watches. I purchased a second hand Rolex for £1,000, it came complete with certificate of authentication, presentation box, years warranty and the original bill of sale. Originally purchased six month previously at a cost of £1,500, from a Rolex specialist only 100 yards away from the shop I got it from

Wearing the watch, I don’t use it for work or shopping, but any other ocassion I wear it. Abroad no problem, on the beach, in the sea whatever.

If you are in a position to purchase hubby a decent watch, that will last a lifetime and go up in price, treat him

It may well be none of our business, but it was the OP who made the whole thing public and opened it up for discussion.
When I bought my car it had already depreciated a fair amount as it was a demonstrator. I shall keep it indefinitely as it has already depreciated to a low residual value. It is still reliable and has never failed an MOT, although I have had a few repair bills recently. It is cheaper to repair things than to spend a great deal of money for a newer vehicle with a lower specification.As far as I am concerned a watch is a tool for telling the time, and not a prop for my ego or an investment.
Hey Ho! Each to their own. We wouldn't all want to be the same, would we.

Nobody that spends money they don't have pimping out a renault twingo deserves a watch worth £1000!
