Usually I like go to a jewellery shop when I am buying a watch , I never seem to buy a watch for myself as I just the same watch I got form Disney years and years ago . My watch is my old familiar I feel at home with it is part of who I am scratches and all, my husband on the other hand is like the Imelda Marcos but his passion is watches . I have lost track of all the watches he owns , but the one type of watch that he didn't own was a pocket watch , you'd be forgiven for thinking that this type of watch was a dinosaur relegated to the past but you would be mistaken.
There is always time for a little bit of luxury and elegance in our lives when the occasion warrants and Father's day a few weeks ago was one such blatantly obvious occasion. I was most fortunate to win a voucher for Watches2U through a competition that was in the Daily Mirror, I treat others before I treat myself this is just my nature. I had friends telling me that I should have treated myself but as I was happy with my watch that has served me all these years then I saw little point in using it on myself.

To treat someone else to a gift gives me immense pleasure especially when it is such a timeless piece as a pocket watch that can be passed on. The pocket watch I picked was a ROTARY MECHANICAL POCKET WATCH . The watched turned up in a few days , I didn't bother paying extra for super speedy service the length of wait was only a few days which in my opinion was worth saving a few pounds for. All the watches at Watches2U are discounted in some way or the other and the watch I choose had around 20 % off the retail price.
Also I went through Quidco to get back cashback on my purchase all in all Father's day cost me £1.70 I won't tell ... you won't will you now.

I would recommend Watches2U ~ I haven't be told to write this I just though I would relay my thoughts on a service I had used even though I had won a voucher.
It's a handsome time piece isn't it? I think it's more ornamental than practical though.
ReplyDeleteExactly , I can't remember the last time I say a gentleman with a watch and chain out and about
DeleteThat is such a nice piece have to say do like and would look good in a period room.
