LOL, what is that in dollars?
My fiance bought it for me recently, I looked the price up online so I could add it to my insurance policy....
I did...although wasn't explicit in saying so.
As that's the only thing I collect, that's the only type of watch I would consider spending serious money on.
Nope, got it about 5 years ago. Looks like they've just jacked up the prices massively since then!

Pics pls - and I'll get pics of mine!
Here's one of the prizes of my collection
Also, since my user name on here is Bunn Special, here's a namesake watch
In 1988 I got a Rolex GMT master for around $1,800. Still have it, and still wear it!
Before that, I paid about $250 for a Glycine Airman with a neat 24 hour dial, when I was in the Air Force. The wrist band broke and now I can't wear it. I guess they don't make bands for it any more. Bummer.
I am for sure going to get a stainless steel
Watch.

I love fine time pieces and wish I could afford more. The most I have spent is $1100 on my Hamilton X-Wind and it is one of my favorite possessions.it amazes me that people will spend on a watch what a car cost. I dont know. Id rather have a car for that much.
I have my eye on an Omega Speedmaster, but that will have to wait until I am in a more comfortable position to lay down the money for that one.

I had to double take this...a Tag Formula One can be had for less than $1000. Wow. However, it is a fine watch.
Wow! What an arrogant opinion. My watch is my favorite possession. I have a good job and drive a Cadillac. Not mentioning what I drive for any reason other than to let you know that I feel I got greater value out of my $1100 watch than a luxury vehicle.

If you are choosing between car and watches, I would say you just cannot afford nice watches.
There are probably better ways to spend money than cars too, like food or water or shelter.

$15... A watch is a tool, now obsoleted. The time is everywhere, I'd rather not have some hunk of anything strapped on my wrist.
If I felt like wearing something ornamental, then perhaps I'd wear a nice looking watch or a bracelet. But, it certainly wouldn't be a $500 piece of technology. That is hardly classy, attractive, or ornamental. It's just a look at me, I'm an Apple lover statement.
Why not just remove the band and buy an aftermarket leather strap. There are many to choose from and can spruce up the look of your Airman!
