So you draw the line at making over priced purchases with watches? but with cars, it's completely justified? :) I see ;)

So much for this thread.... I'll make a few calls ... :rolleyes:

The titatum watch I listed is a much better every day watch.

I would think that a Gold watch is more of a dress-up dinner watch.

Still think that you get more than status with a BMW, Gresch does your Chevy drive as nice?

Or do you mean that you truely wear it everyday - like when you go to the beach, golfing, health club, coaching the kids LL team, playing frisbee with the dog, etc?

I have an 18K gold and stainless watch that I use for the above, and it has collected some scratches. However, to me it is not that big of a deal, so it doesn't bother me.

Sorry man, I'm not in the mood for a "my dick is bigger than yours" discussion today... have a good Sunday.

No other SUV drives like my X5. Much better than a Chevy.

On the other hand a Rolex does not keep as good time as most Quartz watches. The Rolex is all about Status and not much else. If I had to get a over priced watch would probally go with a Breitling.
