another watch question
 

Is 18K white gold durable enough to be worn as an everyday watch or is stainless steel a better way to go?

I would go with this

Titanium the metal of future. Light weight and durable.

Save your money so you can get a BMW. So many watches are all about status not better design, best example is a Rolex.

Wow, I like that watch. I'm all for simple, tasteful, inexpensive watches.

Thanks, it's not an either or situation, and I already did the X5 thing, twice.... ;)

btw- a bmw isa status over design purchase as well :)

Don't think its the same
 

Sure you pay extra for a BMW but I stll think you are getting a better design.
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.

Agreed. However, to a lot of folks fine watches are about more than the need to know what time it is.

Thanks for all of your commetns, any thoughts on my original question?

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:

Every Day Watch
 

I would think that a steel watch is better for every day.

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?

I would probably stay away from 18K gold for an "everyday" watch, however, I guess it depends on how you define "everyday" and how fussy you are. Do you mean get up in the morning, take a shower, put your watch on, and off you go to work? 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.

I don't see 18k white gold holdin up for the 10 years you mentioned in another thread, you use your watches for. Stainless would probably be better for this application as watches def see me wear, tear and abuse than jewelery.
