Yesitisdakid Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Almost a exact year to the day I was walking up Pattaya Thai and I left my place without my watch forgot it. Well my phone can tell me the time as well but I feel naked without a watch on so passed a vendor saw this watch I liked the look of it so figured what the hell. Since the day i got it the battery is still good and it loses no time perfect. Never had to reset it once. Band in great shape as well. I know most of the time you get what you pay for in this case I got lucky. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I ditched my watch the day I retired 20+ years ago and haven't been late for an appointment since, at least not by my reckoning. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punter Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've bought a few 100 baht watches in Pattaya over the years. On average I'd say most have them lasted more than a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I bought a gold and diamond-encrusted Rolex many years ago on Jomtien Beach for 1000 Baht. It looks fabulous and keeps excellent time, but you have to wind it up three or four times a day or it just stops dead. I still wear it to weddings and the suchlike when I'm back in the UK, nice to see people's jaws drop when they see it, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a guy in Birmingham who when his moody Rolex watch stopped working he took it into "Watches of Switzerland" to get the battery changed. We pissed ourselves laughing at how stupid he had been as they promptly confiscated the watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
