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.

Those who don't understand why watch enthusiasts enjoy watches will never "get it". Just as other people might say "why do you need a 180mph car when the speed limit is only 55mph?" Remember, mechanical watches keep far worse time than your everyday $15 quartz from Wal-Mart. So we're paying more for something that tells time, but is fundamentally worse at it's sole task than something that costs 1/10th as much. It's just one of those things that some people enjoy and others will never understand.

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.

I decided to line up my Fossils like that too...
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.

i was at costco today and they had a few breitlings. i was not aware costco carried such things.

Helghast 04-09-2006 01:13 AM

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..

One has a dead battery, one has a dying battery and I have only worn like 3 of them since daylight savings time last weekend, so they need to be set... That is a bridge I usually cross when I get to it.

Phlip 04-09-2006 09:45 AM

... and by the way, did anyone see these?

ThatGuy 04-09-2006 12:55 PM

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.

NemeGuero 04-09-2006 01:28 PM

I can't wear watches.. I hate the feeling of them on my wrist.

In fact, I don't wear any kind of jewelry/accessory.

fromxtor 04-09-2006 01:47 PM

This is what I wear, its the Oakley D2 its taken lots of abuse and 2 deployments. Then the unobtanium one piece band broke, so i sent it back and they replaced the band and gave it a 10 bar prssure check for $20.

Doesn't seem to badly priced

atom 04-09-2006 03:47 PM

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.
