Watch shopping.

[SilentBOb]

I bought a handsome watch the other week.

Not in the same calibre as some of the watches on here but I'm happy with it.
First watch I've owned haha.

Nice dude....what is it and where from?

Ingersoll. German? Quite a few around. I know a guy that has a small shop near where i work and he gave me a discount on it. Was ?300 I got it for ?200. Nice watch for the price.
I'm not stupid though, I checked online first and they go for about ?230 so still a bargain for a good automatic watch.

Its nice dude, love the look.

Ingersoll isn't German mate. Originally it was American. I remember having one years ago with a tin stating 'the watch that made the dollar famous'... just checked and now British subsidiary or a Chinese company. It's a nice looking watch, I like to see the works on show like that it's mesmerising.

Ah right you are. I read that the watches are designed in Germany.
Close lol hence my '?' I wasn't too sure.

Not trying to be a smart arse mate just figured you'd like to know....Tbh I think quality is based more on cost of item rather than country of manufacture. If a factory is set up to produce quality and it's paid enough to do so the result is a lovely product. (Clothing is often excempt from this rule)

Great to see the watch. I might have to get me one of them soon.

And Ingersoll are American yes, I went through quite a few pocket watches and trench watches in my dealing days.

You can send the chrono to me Tommy but my watchmaker is away until the 5th Nov.
