How much is too much?

If you can afford it, and it's what she really wants, then go for it.

550 for a watch IS to much

Not if it's what she wants, and it is affordable without causing problems.

I never would - nip out into town your bound to find a watch that will last a good few years and not cost a bomb like that

dunno if they still do or not but Esso used to sell perfectly good watches for £1.99

My goodness, I never will and never have expected such expensive things from a boyfriend. Even the ones of 2 or 3 years.

Things like that, unless you're very rich, should be for seriously special occasions. Like maybe the present you give to your new bride. Or something. But just as a random gift :eek:

and what will you do next year ?
....get her another £500 prezzie ?

I find the clock at the bottom left of my screen pretty accurate

Probably why she's with him.

If you can afford it I don’t see anything wrong with it,

I bought this for my girlfriend recently (but I think I will swap it for a black face one before i give it to her)

She is not keen on expensive gifts however I wanted to get it for her, not to show her that “I love you here have a rolex to prove it” but more just because I wanted to get her a nice watch so she can share my love of watches with me

Beansprout · 30 Jul 2006 at 23:35

I wouldn't buy one but then a) I never buy overpriced designer crap, I buy quality brands and pay for that (ok I admit I own B&O headphones....) and b) my girlfriend doesn't like gucci (she doesn't know it yet - give it time.)

But really this thread is pointless. £500 may be pocket change or half your savings, and she may reeallly reeeallly want it as a special pressie or be a spolit girl who just wants a change from PradaParisHiltonBeckhamLolzbbq

I have no idea how much I've spent on my gf but I know every purchase is calculated, apprciated and invaluable. Apart from some flowers I bought that the bloody Venezuelan postal system couldn't deliver / lost / nicked.

I've never seen the need to ask others though o.O

Paras , if you can get the black dial for that without it costing to much then it looks fantastic ( stick markers not romans )

the only downside is that the bezel on it only comes with that dial design as default so it could be detrimental to residuals ( I wouldn't let that bother me personally )

btw , hows the new sub going ?

wnb · 2 Aug 2006 at 10:02

Its too much. I've never spent that much on my wife and if I did she would go bananas. Should be looking at £100 tops. On a side note I have never been bought anything expensive from past gf's. Has she bought you anything?

Yep im trying to find a new dial, I think the black will look very nice my AD wants £150 to change it however they will keep my old dial which I am not too keen on. Residual value is not really an issue because I am going to give it to my girlfriend as a gift so it will never be sold.

They sub is fantastic, its huge but it has really grown on me. Hopefully the Daytona is less then six months away.

I think that's far too much
