The front teeth they kick out will cost more than the watch.

All risks policies on multiple 10k watches results in the cost of a watch as a premium.

That's a bit exaggerated. Costs in the order of 1% of the value of the watch for a 10k watch. For the first watch, I presume subsequent watches are cheaper as you can only wear one out.

Saw Lionel Richie at a concert last year and I’m pretty sure he managed to wear two watches!

Put your watch as a named all risk item on your home insurance and you are covered for that too. Great peace of mind

I hear you unkel and do have it insured as an all risk item on the house insurance but as the other posters have said it's not so much the financial loss its:-

1. I don't want to have the sh1t kicked out of me because someone spotted I've a nice watch and decided a 50 year old man pi$$ed up at 3am, whether with one or two equally pi$$ed up pals or not, would be an easy target. It happened to a guy who travelled with us to Portugal a few years ago and completely messed up the trip. Against our agreed ground rules he decided to do a solo run back to the apartment around 2am but between leaving the bar (without telling the rest of us) and getting a cab he was mugged and ended up with a broken cheek bone, black eyes, a cracked rib etc. A kind soul found and brought him back to the apartment where we found him and we ended up calling an ambulance, going to the hospital, reporting to the local police etc. Complete nightmare. Poor guy still has the marks from the broken cheekbone to this day and it doesn't him any favours career wise I can tell you as cheekbones don't repair very well!!

2. I really like "this" watch. It was a present from my wife and I want to pass it on to my son in due course so even if I did get a cheque for it's full replacement value I'd still be at a considerable "sentimental" loss.

3. I have to have some excuse / reason to wear some of the other (much less expensive) watches I have and do like to throw on from time to time.

Who are you insured with. Sounds like I need to shop around.

Zurich. Not sure how much my premium increased when I put my first Rolex as named all risk item though, but it was relatively little. Now I only have one valuable watch, you have a few more of them of course!

Just renewed my insurance yesterday. Checked there and all risks for watches/jewellery was €5.61 per 1k value with Zurich.

That exceptional value IMO.

unkel

Aye. Basically you are quids in if you reckon that in the next 200 years you might lose at least 1 watch

Very glad I had my wife's engagement ring as an all risk named item as the diamond fell out of it and got lost a few years ago. To my shame I hadn't thought of increasing the value of it over the years, so our insurance pay out was well below replacement value, but thankfully we have (had) a jeweller in the family who sorted us out.

An update for anyone interested. I sent the fake Seiko back to the seller 9 days ago as he promised me a refund when he got it. I would have preferred to keep the watch, smash it up and show the pictures here, but I guess that was his prerogative. He came across as a decent bloke, said (even in the original ad) that he got the watch as a present and didn't like it. Got my full refund today. I owe david a pint or 8, thanks man!

So I guess back on topic - the watch with the most wrist time is the Deepsea. Wearing it pretty much 24/7
This one is real, the seller still has his 116660 James Cameron and he sent me a whatsapp yesterday showing that, just like me, he also owns a James Cameron wall clock

Days and weeks are a bit blurred around here, Sunday or Monday all feel the same.
It's getting a bit like George Orwell's 1984, sleep, eat, work, sleep ......

Indeed. The last two mornings I've actually found myself contemplating whether or not I should put a watch on at all - then thankfully the love took over and I succumbed to picking one from the box.

I'm in the process of moving house over the last few months, all mine are in storage except for 2. Really annoying.
