I think that watch should be worn when visiting Middle Earth.
What do you mean? Is it to do with the design of the watch, or because Roy's wrist looks like a hobbit's leg :D No offence Roy.Quote:

Yes that's the one (Arathorn II to be precise). I said it was a feeble pun.
Quite like this Breitling but thick end of six grand - second hand

1961 Rolex looks pretty tidy for £2300 I wonder if it's worth it as an investment?

That model looks similar to my Rolex, though the bracelet is different as are the details of the dial.
My watch was given to me by my parents over fifty years ago, and the exact model is no longer made.
Roy may have more to say, but I am not sure if I would choose a Rolex today. They have acquired an absurd reputation, veblen status, and I have to say a rather 'easy' choice for a luxury wristwatch for those with enough money. Certainly they can be regarded as an investment, but IMO a watch is to be used everyday. Mine has only left my wrist for a few days since it was given to me, and that was for a couple of hugely expensive services by Rolex.
However, having said all that, I would still choose the Rolex shown over the Breitling, despite the chronometer status of the latter.
Never liked Breitlings, no particular reason.
At 31mm that Rolex is tiny and a bit ancient for my taste (nearly as old as me!).
Think I’ve amply covered my thoughts on Rolex ownership in other posts but basically I like having them even if I can’t wear them that often. That being said I’m going to start wearing the explorer 2 more often, it’s not a model people recognise.
