The Dirty Secret Gold Watch Thread
Discussion
Well, this isn't one for good taste. This is for the dirty little secrets - like fancying the chubby girl at school, or really wanting to own an assault rifle.
The parameters, taken from a mini discussion on another thread, are this:
- it has to be a bit silly. So either solid precious metal, or tasteless enough to mean that steel doesn't matter.
- you have to genuinely, if you had the spare cash, have it in your collection. You would buy this watch.
- absolutely fine to keep it locked away and only ever wear it in the bath on your own, never admitting to another living soul that you own it.
I'll start with a Gold Yacht Master, But not just the one with the already tasteless onyx hour markers. No, I'd have let Bamford loose on it. This is an expensive, tasteless, horrible watch that I would not want anyone to know that I owned. But own it I would.

In my line of work the Casio Foxtrot 91 Whiskey has a legendary status. I considered myself superior as I had the £1 more expensive version fitted with a back light verses the tiny bulb in the peasants version.
That was until I saw a colleague out with his Mrs wearing one of these like some sort of pimp.

I have thought about a DD:

but have always worried that it would seem to be a good idea until I got home and actually owned it.
This means there are 2 ways this could progress, these being lower-key, subtle and Pt (very much not in the spirit of this thread):

or doubling down (rather more in the sprit of this thread):

Turns out that I was so excited that I could not even spell "watch" correctly in the thread title.
I hope a friendly mod will help a man with no taste out...
Not sure about ‘friendly’ but I helped out anyway! I hope a friendly mod will help a man with no taste out...

Keep a close eye on this thread. It's getting a bit indecent.

I’d have a gold Flightmaster if they were not so hard to find and crazy expensive. And I’d 100% be wearing it as much as possible.

That’s quite cool.
I think.
Or it’s really vulgar.
I’m not sure. Tbh.
The flight master has that big thick case, in gold it would look pretty gold, like you’re wearing a dirty big gold nugget.
