Easy mistake to make....I suppose (ebay & Chappers content)

"You never actually own a Patek Phillipe"

hard to argue with that

The land underneath my house is, apparently, owned by some set of twats in Bristol to whom I pay a yearly penance of £4.50. Billable twice a year. 

On the face of it not so bad coughing up £2.75 every six months but, in reality, I have a problem with "never owning" something.

No idea what this has to do with watches or a well-known YouTube guitarist.

Sorry.

Maybe a candidate for the dementia clinic that was mentioned earlier.

What was the question again?

It's "what is £2.75 x 2?".

He`s building credit for the buyout.

Hah, deary me. Arithmetic lessons for table 9

I'd be a long time saving for the freehold reversion at a quid a year, given it costs £50 just to ask them a question.

euan

Rather serendipitously I’ve just bought myself a birth year left handed guitar

The birth year for his son claims was after questions were raised about the timing of his “new axe” post, coming as it was hot on the heels of a round of crowdfunding to pay for a load of gear he had stolen and insurance wouldn’t cover

Chappers nicked a load of gear?  No wonder he's unpopular.

This is exactly a pricy watch brands marketing technique.

Buy it for the next generation. Its an investment for your children to pass on the wealth to them

It starts from £32,000 WTF!

Add a zero to the end of that number - if you want a steel Nautilus you need to have bought several less "desirable" watches from them.

WT, WTFFFFFFFF!

I've only ever seen one Pateck Phillipe in reality. It made me think I should also have got a London based bank job instead of being a teacher      On yhr other hand, I complain about my work load, but havr never actually had to sleep under my desk as i had so much work on. 

After a bit more searching..."Yours" ( not mine, but some ones) for £27,560? Save "you" £5,000 perfect for that customer shop fender to pick up with your spare change on the way home.

I guess I'm missing something that add the 0 on the end. The extra sub dials? Sorry, complications 

I don't usually get involved in watch threads... but I remember seeing an invoice for a couple of Patek Philippe watches, purchased by a professional footballer.  I think they were six figures each, but I could be wrong.  I'll see if I can find it later.

A very close friend has a PP.  He bought it around 35 years ago when he was living in Geneva and I remember he paid £13k for it.  He told me a couple of years back it had been valued at £90k and I suspect it's comfortably into six figures now.

First time I saw him wearing it I thought it looked like a particularly tacky Sekonda
