CHRIST!
I just looked at how much these cost. Being a Swatch I thought maybe £50 but NO, these are circa £400, which blows my mind.
You have five of these Trooperbill?
I can't comprehend. I'm not criticising, heck I spend stupid money on branded bike parts when I could easily make do with much cheaper versions. We all have our little pleasures.
But I have never understood the expensive watch thing. For me, expensive here would be "greater than £100".
I have this watch. Had it for around 20 years at a rough guess (could be wildly off by decades though).
It is waterproof, sits faithfully on my wrist in the shower, the swimming pool, the bath, the sea... it NEVER misses a second. It's been scraped against hot rusty engine blocks, smacked into BMX stuff, slammed and scraped along concrete plunged into hot oil and dirty white spirit.
It looks like shit, never stops working, and is solar powered so never needs a battery.
I struggle to imagine a better experience with a watch.
Oh and it cost £30.
