Another wristwatch thread...

Anybody know anything about the Breitling Emergency watch?  Evidently if you are lost, it has some sort of black box capability where they can find you.  I don't spend money on flashy watches, but this certainly has my attention.  Any getbiggers know the cost or have one?  I would assume over $10,000?

Breitling will also give you a new watch if you activate the transmitter in a real emergency situation. The piece will cost $15,000 when it's released this year. The watch comes with a charger for the emergency module and the quartz movement is powered by a separate battery.

What's the nicest flash watch that doesn't make you look n i g g a rich and still is a bit masculine?

Rolex Daytona?

The email I got from the jewelry store makes this one look pretty masculine.  It doesn't look like a $15,000 watch, but I knew being a Breitling it wouldn't be cheap.  The thing about watches like this, is only someone who knows what they're looking at will actually notice.  To your average Joe it's just a watch.

My days of going into war zones are long behind me since I left the Special Forces, long before I was a pro bodybuilder, so I don't really see the appeal of an emergency zone watch. 

The only decent watch I have is a Breitling but I've had it ten years and I'm wondering if I can persuade myself to get something else.

A real G would smash up his real, not fake, £10K plus watch on video just because he doesn't give a f*ck and rolls harder than the Getbig losers.

Rolex daytona is a wonderful watch,had one for a while then switched to sub then milgauss now waiting on a deepsea.i love rolex and i always have,i started out with a 1979 datejust and since then have been thru pretty much every rolex model and some 2-3 times,im a serial flipper and get tires of watches fast.not bragging as im far from rich just a hobby i love like lifting.

Recently got my Sinn UX S EZM 2B. That thing is made from German submarine steel, pretty much indestructible, can be read from all angles, and the case is certified to withstand over 1200 bar/atm of pressure. In other words, the perfect watch for my desk job.

[Coffeed]

I remember my first Rolex Daytona. Definitely top 3 stocking stuffer from my childhood.

I think you should drink a shake made of your own jizz because you're so hardcore about your newfound gains.

I'd get you onto the wall of Muscleworks if you did that.

why do you guys seem so hung up on expensive watches? I guess I just dont understand the difference between a 100 dollar watch that tells time and a 10 thousand dollar watch that tells time. The time is still the same

[beverast]

Why are people buying expensive cars, clothes, ...?

Of course you could buy a Tudor or Breitling with a "refined" ETA 2824-2 movement for 3500 bucks, or you could spend 500 bucks on a watch of the same quality with the same movement (except maybe a different engraving on the rotor). Only difference is how much they spend on marketing. Again, same with any luxury item. I'm only buying Swiss/German made watches myself, but if I'm completely honest, the best watch I've ever had all in all was a $300 Seiko. It's not exactly rational.

Ask the Allies about that.

People spend big money on houses,cars,bikes,boats,everything.I spend on tvs and watches.I have never lost money on a rolex,i buy grey market and keep them in mint condition so i usually make money after wearing a watch fothis months.Bought my rolex 116520 daytona for 9800 in orlando when at disney 2 years ago and wore it for 8 months or so and sold it for 10600.rolex is not a risky investment,you will always get what you paid if you dont pay retail.everybody like something.

Totally agree. And even if they do lose value by something $3/day what's the big deal if it gives you pleasure, so long as you can afford all the more important things in life.  3 bucks a day is a coffee.

New ones are about $50K plus right?  I like the idea of one partly just so I can look at it and think "this looks nice and I don't need to bat an eyelid about the price because I've worked hard to get somewhere...".
