I dont understand why people buy 500 dollar watches....they all have the same job, just to tell what time it is!

...And this is coming from a person who buys 300 dollar sunglasses lol :D

Checkmate. ;)

I think everyone has something (if not many things!) they like to spend that little extra on, knowing full well it may not exactly be "necessary". Everything in moderation of course. :cool:

oh did someone mention RADO? Man they are just stunning! Here's my lil baby!

You're the only other person I know with a Ceramica.

Do you polish yours a lot and use it to reflect sunlight into peoples eyes?

When speaking about excess and moderation, check out my sig - right back atcha. ;) :cool:

All I meant was that I don't buy the highest end of everything I own. Certain things, I'm happy with just the standard offerings, and other things, I like to treat myself to. But yeah, excess is cool in the right context. :cool:

I like watches - they're the only jewelry I wear, really. I have several, none too expensive though (under $500). my current fav is a swiss army watch. no pics though (I'm at work).

I love tags though. thought about getting one several times, but I alsways end up blowing the money on something else instead...

Show me where I can get an Omega for $500 and I'll buy 2 of 'em ;) I was lucky to get my Speedmaster for $1500, and my Tag Heuer for $800. Normally they're twice as much.

I could never spend more than $50 on a pair of sunglasses. More than that, what's the point? They are just pieces of plastic in front of your eyes. ;) I saw some brand sunglasses in Switzerland once that were over $900!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Smoldering smokestacks!! Who on God's green earth would spend that kind of money on sunglasses??

that's what i've got, a sieko actura kinetic. the first one they've done with the back where you can see the kinetic movement thingy :)

it's only £600 (US$1085) in you're finest jewellers, but i got it from a friend's dad, who works for them, for a quite decent £100.

oooh yeah.

My old man gave me a Rolex when I graduated from college. An Oyster Perpetual Date. Not a bad gift :D

You found a $1,000 watch on the beach??????? and it still worked???? :eek: :eek: :eek:
A couple of years ago there was a story in the local paper about a guy who found a gold Rolex on the beach, that's got to be worth $5,000+.
He contacted Rolex, or handed to the Police who did, and they traced it by the serial number to a local guy who'd lost it a year earlier surfing, and it still worked :eek:

Me, I'd love a Rolex one day but for now I just got one of these to help me get fit :eek:

Most definitely bling...!

I was always fascinated by the Ceramica and the black Diastar, the fact that Rado use ceramics and hard-metals is a great bonus, I've had my Ceramica for 18 months, wear it every day and it doesn't have a mark on it.

Fabulous watches.
