I like Breitling and Rolex. Currently, most days I wear a fake sliver Yacht-Master Rolex that I got in NYC that has “sweeping” movements and self-winding. When I wear a suit, I throw on my real gold/sliver Rolex DateJust (looks too formal for daily use). If you get a self-winding watch make sure to get one of these: [http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/product/sku\_\_AR007](http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/product/sku__AR007) By the way I agree with the fakes being useless, I looked at a fake Breitling that had like 6 dials on it and only the clock worked. ---

none of the 3 watches are very unique or interesting looking. No real style to them either. There is much more out there that will make a great accessory to a outfit. If you are buying this as a status symbol or investment (???) then thats a different story but I dont understand the reasoning or care for it so I cant comment further. ---

I’d have to say #2 with rubber band would be my pick. Although #1 with metal band would be very nice as well if you can get it cheaper than #2. ---

I guess I just dont see the point of spending a few grand on a watch. I have a Croton and its very nice and it gets complimented on from time to time. With the amount of cash your spending there id rather have a jetski, snowmobile, atv. or some other toy that has a little more use than just keeping time and looking nice. If its that important that you have to tell people i have a $5k watch, I find that sad. IMHO it doesnt seem like there are enough people that know enough about them to recognize one when they see it, at least Not in WNY. ---

[/quote] Yes, I would much rather have something that’s going to depreciate in value… A nice watch is no different than a nice suit, but maybe you’re happy with the $100 special at SYMMS… I like nice things, sorry you don’t. My job requires me to be innovative and motivated 100% of the time, having luxuries is a nice reminder of why I bust my ass everyday. ---

The point i was making was not about owning something that is going to increase or decrease in value. Its about using your money wiseley. After you buy a watch for 5k what do you have to show for it? A expensive suit is a different story. More people are apt to tell a good suit from a poor one. And a good suit also has no real place in WNY. So lets see you have a pretty new MB that could use some mods to make it a little more fun. If you dont already own a house why not go that route, thats the best investment you can make. If you think people are going to envy you or want to be you becuase you have a MB and a $5000 watch, your sorrily mistaken. Your full of yourself.
