Hahaha! Unless you're Huggy Bear you're going to look a right gaylord wearing that ostentatious monstrosity.

Anything with the Playboy logo or diamonds on is for chicks. Fact!

Liberace would've even thought twice about wearing that.

I kinda was thinking that. Reason why I ask who made it.

I can't really remember the name of the shop, It's an accessories/jeweleries shop in Dubai. Nothing fancy.

I know, I only used to wear it when I went clubbing in Dubai , the "bling" shiny reflections with that watch is chick grabbing. And the best part is that no one can recognize the bunny in the dark.

That said, I still believe It's gay,even gayer than David Beckham's male fan base.

anything else is too over the top and not in tune with nature...A sun dial watch is the only way to go.

Personally though I don`t see why anyone should question what someone spends their money on.  I don`t see a point living miserably if you don`t have to or buying second best when you really want something better and can afford it.

You only live once, why live it miserably if you don`t have to?
well i dont think he meant that you should live miserably, but that certain things monetary value are vastly inappropriate...like a da vinci painting...its monetary value is enough to feed a starving nation for years. if used correctly. now which is more valuable, a canvas with paints arranged in a way to represent an image of reality, or giving malnourished humans food to sustain their life.

My Seiko 600m dive watch was the best one I ever had.  That was stolen at the gym many years ago.   I have a Casio Pathfinder like the photo now.  I really like it.  The Breitling i got as a present I never received cause we broke up just before I was to get it on my birthday.  Oh well I should have hung in there a few more weeks.

That entirely depends on how the money is spent.  A million dollars for 2 million people is nothing and relatively futile.  A million dollars concentrated perhaps, but that still puts the inequality in the hands of the recipients. What then of the ones who did not get a dime?  And once one or a group is fed, hunger will strike again if the entire structure is not changed in the first place and the unlucky who did not get anything initially will already be dead.  So in a sense that million dollars may just be prolonging misery and what is inevitable unless there is fundamental restructuring that a one time donation cannot make.

Now if that money is spread amongst a thriving economy, money will not only benefit those that it trickles to, money will also beget more money and beget more money and on and on.  So in a sense you will benefit the most people by spending your money in a thriving and civilized economy.

i would point out that a person has the ability to make a real impact, like "fundamnetal restructuring" for example. a big donation, like say the price of a da vince original, could definitely put into place some kind of lasting infrastructure to keep the hungry fed. your certainly right, one purchase of food supplied to a nation of hungry will not do anything but postpone the inevitable.

Ooooh, I love watches. an expensive hobby, but damn fun :-)

This is what I sport:



I also have an automatic Omega from 1976 that my father gave to me and I fixed it up (I don't wear it too often though), a gold Longines, and a Links of London with black straps.




Recently though, my wife got me this watch for christmas, and it gets way more attention than my "fancier" watches:

currently I don't own a watch, I am always near a computer/phone or electronic device that has the time displayed.

these days a watch is an accessory like shoes instead of a needed device.  I can't believe that people actually notice your watch.

This looks just like the Omega my father gave me, except mine had a blue dial (its from 1972, not 76):




The gold longines (also given to me by my father for one of my birthdays):



Can't seem to find a picture of the Links of London one!
