Would you buy one of these watches?

@Sasquatch. Maybe I'm being thicker that usual but I'm not sure that I understand much in your last post. I really, really don't want this to degenerate into one of those threads but I think the other chap was correct (although there seems to be confusion somewhere between 'silver colour' and actual silver). Your Tudor is stainless steel and the Submariner is either stainless steel, white gold or platinum none of which are bad things and all considerably superior to silver when it comes to watchmaking.

How can you be so cynical when if we all had too much money we would obviously want the best watch in the world.
I've only ever had a Timex Snoopy watch in my late teens and later a Rotary watch to draw eyes away from my frayed shirt cuffs in my late 30s however neither of these watches made me look like James Bond or Austin Powers so I've given up on watches and am currently saving up for a jacket with Helly Hansen written on it in huge letters, it was going to be a Rab jacket but the logo was absolutely tiny on that so not fit for purpose.
It's OK - I've reported the spammer now. You can all go back to sleep.
Eh?? What have I missed?
Rest easy Ajay, its not you its me. It's indeed white gold, so a slight lapse on my part. For some reason I though silver, but that's age catching up with me.
I had a windfall and always wanted a Rolex so bought it on the basis that as an uncommon and then about the be discontinued model it will appreciate in value as well as being based on the model id always wanted. I could probably sell it for 10 or 15 grand more than when I bought it 9 years ago.
The missus caught me doing some gardening in it and had the vapours, so I bought the tudor for daily wear. Was going to get the Black Bay but the GMT had just hit the shops and it was lovely at first sight. I could sell that today for what I paid for it, although it's turned out to be more of a practical device while the Rollocks more of a potential investment,
I still have my old G Shock I used to wear to work and it still function.

I'm don't drink, don't smoke, never had a loan (other than a mortgage and thats long gone), never bought a car on finance, or any of the things other folk splurge on with money they haven't got to buy things they can't afford to impress people they don't know.
Hell, I dress like a tramp and look so scruffy that someone once called the police on me while I was waiting to collect my Daughter from school (being a copper myself at the time that took a while to live down.) The only logos on my clothing are the Lidl's logo on my boxers,

Nope. My fob watch is still going fine.
That's no ordinary Sub! Bloody lovely that my friend!
This is mine. I wanted a Sub but found it too small so went for it's larger sibling! Absolutely love it! Worn it daily for several years now. It's scuffed, scratched and dinged up a bit, and I honestly don't care! Haha I even dinged it with an axe last week when I was prepping some fire wood for the log burner! Doh!
