My ex gave me a Tag....only thing that lasted from our relationship

First real watch was a tag,thats what started my love of watches.

[Skorp1o]

I had a Tag too, bought it as I was travelling to third world countries and needed something reliable and not too expensive jnscase I break it or its stolen. that watch took a lot of beatings, I hiked, mountain biked, dived and did everything with it...it was a solid heavy piece.

Tag is the Poor man's Rolex. The it watch now is the Audemars Piguet.  Anyone in LA and SoCal who wants to show off has a rose gold.

Being rich doesn't mean you need to wear expensive watches.  Some people become rich because they don't spend their cash on useless material things.  Others just like the luxurious items they can get.  Nice watch, nice car etc...  Do billionaires really need a 50,000 sqft home?  Probably not.  Could they be just as happy in a 5000 sqft home?  Yep, but they have money to burn and do so.
One thing in the end is that you can't spend your money when you're dead.  Knew this old lady that lived like a bag lady.  Begged for change, would want whatever food scraps you had etc...  When she died and they cleaned out her apartment they found $500K cash.  She was so fearful of being poor that she saved ever penny but the irony was she lived like she was poor.  All that money she never spent got seized by the gov because she had no family.

You're full of shit. You never owned a real AP, friend.

The first Omega I bought was a Seamaster, and although I have always wanted to have a small collection of watches, it was partly an investment or a way to hold some value. It cost me a couple of grand as it was pre-owned and a year old, and is still worth close to that YEARS later.

So you say that it is worth close to the purchase price YEARS down the track. Wow! So you could have left the money you spent in a bank account and earned next to nothing but still be on top. Great investment. 

That's not holding value. Holding value would take into account the opportunity costs and future dividends of the money from the day you spent it into the future.

You sure you don't work for the Greek Central Bank?

Some people (like myself) just like nice watches.  I have a decent collection but really only alternate between wearing 3 depending on the occasion.  Date Just, Cellini, and a gold watch from Tiffanys that was my dads.
