Members C-4 Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have worn Rolex watches since graduating high school. However, now I am looking at a Cartier Santos as my next watch. Go to this website and look hard and long. IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY AND THEY BACK EVERYTHING THEY SELL!http://www.capetownstore.com/consignment_watches.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Professor Tom Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 TAG Heuer Professional 200 metres, I've had it for eight years and it keeps perfect time and is still on the original battery. Hopefully I'll never have to buy another watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DoubleBarrel Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have an old Timex Ironman that I've had since 1986. Been thru 2 watchbands, and it's still kicking. 21 years and still going strong. not bad for a 20 dollar watch I'd save the cash for something else.

Members OverDriven Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Why the hell someone would spend several thousand or more on a watch is beyond me. It's not like it's necessary at all with modern technology and a clock on every electronic device we own. So then it becomes a status symbol. Well you just got out of college, so you don't have status...don't fake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheGreatGreen Posted November 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Why the hell someone would spend several thousand or more on a watch is beyond me. It's not like it's necessary at all with modern technology and a clock on every electronic device we own. So then it becomes a status symbol. Well you just got out of college, so you don't have status...don't fake it. In my defense, it's not about status or bling. It's about reliability. My father has a Rolex that he has worn pretty much every day for the past 30 years and it still looks as good and works as well as it did when he first got it. He is a farmer. He works with cattle and repairs equipment such as planters and tractors all the time. He didn't get it for the bling factor. That watch has been through a ton of {censored} and back, and still works as if it's never seen the outside of its box. I think that says a lot about a well made watch. Time is something we all keep track of and live by, and having a reliable device that tells it is important to lots of folks. The way I look at it is this: spend a little more on a better quality thing now, and spend less overall in the long run, considering repairs and replacements of lesser quality goods in the future. I understand that time is something that will usually be available in a lot of forms and a lot of places, but as important as it is, I'd rather have a device I can rely on to tell me the time right now and for years to come.

Members Zyngath Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 How do you know that that expansive watch that you like now will still appeal to you in 5, 10 or 20 years? I'd rather have a watch that is cheaper so that i can buy me a new one now and then.... Just my 0,02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rvschulz Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have a "cheap" citizen ecodrive that I wear daily. Nice enough for formal stuff, cheap enough (a few hundred bucks) that I can wear it anytime without being paranoid. I have never owned an "expensive" (think a few grand) watch, so I can't comment on those. I have one of these in titanium ... i destroy watches and now this watch destorys whatever i bang against. i would ruin rolex and omega bands ... so determine your usage before you buy something expensive. unless of course you are starting as a VP of sales for Microsoft where money is no object - it is for me.

Members Mel Cooley Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have a 6 year old $25.00 Acqua (i.e. water resistant Timex) Indiglo that's still on its first battery! The thing is so dinged up I can't wait for it to die so I can get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
