While it's certainly true that a wealthy person can wear a cheap watch because they don't care, or a lower-income person can wear an expensive watch because they're willing to spend a disproportionate amount of their income on something as trivial as a watch, there is generally a correlation between income and expensive toys.

Now, consider that this being a bodybuilding board, at least half the posters are in their 20's, and are students or people just starting out their careers making less than $50k/year. Basically paycheck-to-paycheck people.  If you assume a normal income distribution for the other half, that means fewer than 10% of getbig posters could or should be spending money on a "luxury" watch.

Yet, when asked "what watch do you wear", 100% of respondants claim a Rolex or Breitling or similar.  That tells me most of them are lying.

True...I agree with you....but seriously...how many 'different' people have replied to this thread?

I do see some people post watches they would love to have...but they're not necessarily saying they own one.

*Bump* for an update.

Panerai has been great....now I like watches.

But.....

I just got a Brand New Breitling (I won it)

Never in a million years expected it.  Anyways....I'm sitting here wondering if I should keep it, or trade it for a used Rolex?  It's a nice Breitling...not their top of the line, but $4000 brand new.


Any suggestions?
