That kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a watch, doesn't it? Why is it folks spend a lot of money for something that doesn't work any better than it would if it costs less. I recently read where Cadillacs have a lot of transmission issues....seems like the same thing. If it's for the ladies, then I would say if a woman is attracted to you because of your watch, car or expensive clothes than she isn't worth wasting your time on.
valid point. i coulda put $45000 into a mutual fund ten years ago and had 20-30 % of its value today.
if someone is choosing between paying a mortgage, getting their kids braces, or setting up their retirement vs. buying a watch; yes, they are idiots.
but if someone has all their bills paid, plenty of savings, and buys nice stuff, then more power to them.
and i don't know if you noticed my one post above, i sold one watch for more than i bought it for 8 years earlier.
