Do you guys think that a nice watch = status symbol?? the chairperson at our program wears a TIMEX and he must have over millions in his bank account.

I don't think of a watch as purely a status symbol. I wear a suit every day so other than cufflinks my watch is the only piece of jewelry I have. I want that one piece of jewelry to say quality, style, and reliability both to myself when I put it on in the morning, and to my clients. Sure, part of it is status, especially with a blingy Breitling (which are absolutely gross, btw) or a 47mm Panerai, but my Omega is very understated and says "he appreciates a quality watch but isn't stupid enough to spend $10,000 on one." This is what my watch looks like: It's an Omega Seamaster Professional Bond.

This collection does not include the 2 I forgtot to confiscate when I was at my brother's crib last week and the one each Coach, Guess and Kenneth Cole that are buried in the drawer over there. I prefer to wear my Fossils on a daily, each came with an 11 year warranty and not one has ever needed it. |

Nice watches.
..no, I don't like it because it's from Japan or anything, I like it for it's uniqueness and it's also a great topic starter. Currently I'm rocking a Diesel watch..

Get this watch up to 88mph and maybe it'll take back to the '80's where it would be cool.
What's wrong about having a watch that actually has numbers and hands? Most times I don't even wear a watch. I just check my cell phone for the time.

I got 5 watches:
Tag Link Chrono (first big purchase after I got a job, kinda regret it, overpriced) Sector 975 Tissot PRC200 Omega Speedmaster (graduation gift) some cheapo Pulsar Chrono I got back in the broke ass college days The funny thing is the two watches I wear the most by far are also the two cheapest, the Tissot and the Pulsar. Especially the pulsar. I bang the shit out of it and never a hiccup, EVER. |
