I spent 4k on a watch

A Tag Heuer Monaco.

I was in the shopping mall and spotted this in a jewellers window. Call me mad, but I had to have it.

I have other watches but much lesser pieces - the most expensive being around £500. I'm going to sell a few of these.

It's not the money, really, just that I have cancer and needed to cheer myself up - I may never have got to experience such a nice watch.

It's the same one Steve McQueen wore in Le Mans and the same watch that features in Breaking Bad.

It was actually £3958.50 after some store haggling. RRP is £4350. The strap is dark blue so goes with the face.

Spoil yourself Dreamy - Why not.
If it makes you happy, then I am all for it.
Glad you were able to go out and spoil yourself, that makes me happy also.

Re: I spent 4k on a watch

its a fabulous watch, I can see the appeal. I'm sorry about cancer, you certainly deserve to spoil yourself. Is your cancer treatable? I do hope so.

It's incurable but treatable - this means tumours could pop up at any time and I'll probably be wedded to the hospital for some time...but I've felt better these past two days.

Wow mate, that's a lot of dosh shelled out there, but it's a lovely watch.
Good on you for splashing out and cheering yourself up, nothing wrong with that.

Then again, you could have bought 1000 albums for that on Ebay!

I'm so sorry it's incurable. I'm very glad to hear you have been feeling better this last couple of days, whilst I know it's easy for me to say but I do hope you can somehow try keep positive, positive, mental attitude I believe helps a lot. I guess it's best to take one day a time and try live as normal a life as possible. God Bless you, I will keep you in my prayers xxxx

I know - it's a hell of a lot of money for just one thing.
