Is this guy for real?

[DCBDaytona]

Just out of curiosity, what is the point of having a 15K watch in this day and age of free, self time zone adjusting cell phones, $5 quartz accurate Timex's, and giant bank signs that also tell you the temp? To me all an expensive watch says about a person is "Hey look at me, I'm either rich or deeply in debt, but either way, I likely have a self confidece problem."
This is definitely a new "SoCal" trend...Wearing big baller watches like the homies in the rap videos! Today it's all about the image. And hell, if you notice...most true wealthy guys don't where the fancy watches. :idea:

It's a mental defect I guess
As a collector of automatics I can say that the fascination of a mechanical piece that's 50+ years old can run like the day it was built is what interest me the most. Though I have never spent alot of money on any of my pieces I believe if I had the money to burn I would.
Here's a couple of new additions to the automatic collection.
Both Swiss ETA, Rado Left is a Voyager right Royal. The Rotating Anchor at the 12 adds to the neat~O factor. Neither one was expensive used but new Rado (http://www.rado.com/en/Collection/Or...s/default.aspx)watches are pretty high.

I tend to stay away from quartz watches. There's nothing special about a quartz movement. T.
Okay, the collector fascination I can completely understand, since I have a garage full of motorcycles, Alfa Romeos and boat parts that I could have just as easily spent the money on extra mortgage payments or something.

Yeah, you hit it right on the head. Expensive watches are stupid. :notam:

i don't even own a watch.. or any expensive jewelery for that matter. i do have a wedding ring which is just a simple gold band.

A buddy of mine has a fake version of the Breitling that comes with the Bently. Even though it was a fake, it wast still like 3500. All of the diamonds are real, and it is a really nice watch. He has had it for like 3 years, and it is really pretty.

Hey Nord,
You know how I know you're gay??? You're talking about your buddy's pretty watch. :jawdrop:

I was thinking that maybe he had a ring, but then he got a watch instead of the ring, and maybe now he needed to get a ring again so he was selling the watch. :idea:
