Just bought a G10. A colleague of mine Stan gave me good advice and i'm very pleased with it. Cheers Stan. I still want one of those Russian badboys.

P>S I can now tell accurate time which means Stan's advice has now given me the power to tell exactly how long he is having on his lunch break etc etc.

Mwahhhhhh Haaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

A raise!!??? LOL. Ok speak to me like i'm a child. I'm a big camera enthusiast i use voigtlander range finder kit. Voigtlander equipment is basically camera gear that costs less than Leica and is of a similar quality. What do you need to look for in order to find a good quality watch at an affordable price that can give you a similar quality to very expensive top of the range watch?

What are the different makes?

What is considered to be top of the range?

What would be the ultimate find at a car boot sale and why?

Do watches depreciate?

If so why do they depreciate?

Like Leica is there a certain manufacturer that watch lovers strive to own?

As i've been typing these messages my daughter thought it would be funny to comb my hair. Just caught a look at myself in the mirror, i look like a 1970's geography teacher that has suffered a severe emotional breakdown.

Best camera I ever owned was an Olypus OM1-n ..... did me for 15 years in very tough conditions .... it seized up two years ago so I chucked it out .... I am hard like that
laugh.gif
.... truth is couldnt find anybody who was prepared to fix it
sad.gif


As competent as my Sony digital is .... it hasnt got the charm of the OM1-n

What is the Leica of watches ??

Rolex ..... IMO
