Whats the most you've ever spent on a watch

[MasterRyu2011]

I've gotten three watches in my life.

Moto 360 - $250
Some random Guess watch - $100
Casio Calculator watch - $50

My favourite thing about this thread is the number of people claiming to have spent huge amounts of money on watches, but not actually posting any evidence in support of their claims.

If you look in the "who's got a nice watch" thread in the picture gallery forum, you can find some posters from this thread, having posted pictures of their watches.

I did post in that thread, but I don't see why anyone needs to post just to satisfy tom's curiosity.

I spent $2,321,000 on a watch. Do I win the thread now?

Last I checked, the title of this thread wasn't "what's the most you've spent on a watch and prove 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.

Pretty sure you could get a replacement, even if not the original.

Been looking for years but it's not a standard band layout. Most replacements aren't wide enough. I swear the pins are 2-3 mm longer than standard ones.

Should visit some specialty jewelers though. Boy did I love that watch!

Try this site. They do extra wide straps up to 40mm wide 😱

It went for £13.4 million - $21.3 million

I was think of buying it myself if I'd been able to find a Nato to fit it 😛

It was over $24 million once the commission fees were added.

Sadly, the owner died the day before the auction took place.

I've spend around $300 for my Kisai RPM SS from tokyoflash.com. The watch was $199, but I didn't know, that I'll have to pay additional $100 tax 😕

Anyway, It's worth the price, original and unique 😉
I have it for about 1,5 year now and still people are asking: "What the f%*& is that?" 😀

Little under 5K USD for my PAM005.

 

[Thanks pal]

$900 for a Citizen Signature Grand Classic Automatic NB0040-58A

 

[rengb6]

I don't wear watches currently. Instead, I wear a $7.2k white gold Cartier Love bracelet on my left wrist.

 

[Tanegashima]

I've spent $100.000 on the most expensive citizen on the store.


Now I'm loved by you all?

Seriously, what's the point of some of these posts...

The most I've spent on a watch is $47k for a Patek Philippe annual calendar in platinum.

 

[Foggydog]

I spent 39.00 on a timex. I broke that band and stopped buying / wearing watches.

I'm a watch junkie. This is my latest acquisition.

 

[palmerc2]

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. 😱

The thing to understand about watches that cost more than most cars, is someone buying one already has a handful of cars worth more than the watch. They don't work paycheck to paycheck, by the time they wake up in the morning they have made more than most people do in their lifetimes.

The poster in post #10 referenced the brand Patek Phillipe, that's chump change compared to other watched they sell, such as this one that's almost $1 million: LINK

Same idea goes for the Bugatti Veyron, who would throw down over a million dollars on a car? There was some sort of study done on the average Veyron owner, which had: 4 mansions, 2 private jets, 12 high end cars, and 1 yacht. **Don't quote me on the exact figures, it was something around those lines.

It's all relative....


EDIT: my figure on the average Veyron owner is kind of off...

The average Veyron owner has 3 jets, 1 yacht, and 84 cars: LINK
