Oh, Seiko are excellent watches and such good quality.  They’re likened to Rolex for their accuracy, but as they don’t have the “cool” brand of Rolex people don’t pay stupid amounts for them, despite them being equally good as Rolex.

They have some amazing watches, and whilst some models are less expensive than Rolex they’re certainly not cheap. Depends on the model, of course...but they’re highly valued watches, and usually worn by people who have no desire to flaunt their wealth but want a good quality watch.


How very gratifying!!! I bought mine, half price, from a jeweller who was closing down. It wasn't exactly peanuts, but neither was it squillions. The jeweller said it was an excellent choice because Seiko was a reputable and sought after brand. I thought he probably said that of all the watches he sold.

When I replied to your post last night Caroline I was half asleep and didn't recognise you wrote Cartier.
I do not have a Cartier watch of Jeremy's, I have a genuine omega and what could be a fake role.
I have two seiko watches of his also, which I purchased for him some 25yrs ago.
I apologise for the confusion.

It's just that you mentioned having the Cartier watch in the past?

So how was it possible for him to pay for them? I didn't think he would be allowed to have that much cash in  prison. Or did you mean you'd bought them FOR him, in which case, would not one have been enough?

Hi,

I've never stated, except on here by mistake) that I had a Cartier watch. It's an omega which as stated was given as a gidt by his family.  My memory is not that good these days so I wouldn't question it if anybody else has proof otherwise, as I say, I've forgotten exactly.
I purchased two watches on separate occasions watched for him be it for Christmas or birthday I cannot recall exactly either.
He liked watches and he liked Seiko. They were very modern and quite advanced in those days for the cost.

Caroline, you are so right!!

I apologise. Sincerely.

I haven't looked at the watch for twenty years or so and here it is. I DO NOT have an omega of Jeremy's.

I was mistaken.

I do have an omega somewhere too, without a strap. I'll try and hunt that down too.  Therefore, I DO NOT have a role.

These are items along with many items of his I don't look at or have taken an interest in in many years.
They're his and all I've done is stored them for him until he requests their return.

So I apologise for my confusion, this was not deliberate of course, just a lapse in memory or confusion over watches.
