Again, you missed the "all else equal". There are plenty of millionaires that roll around in used pickup trucks and dress casually. That isn't the topic here. I'm just LOL'ing that some of you can't understand something as simple as enjoying/collecting watches. Even if I don't personally enjoy something, I still understand why others do. If anyone here has a passion or hobby, then you should also understand why other people have their own hobby or interest.

Ditto on feeling naked without having a watch on my wrist. I've had my Nixon Graduate SS watch for years now. It's definitley not an over the top watch but I love it and have recieved a ton of compliments since owning it.


Hoping to own a nice Rolex one day.

Here is my daily (last month or two) actually that is sitting in my pocket as I type this. I just got a Macbook Pro and the watch scratches (doesn't show, but it's just the noise). At home it's the same with my normal keyboard. Soon as I stand up though I put the watch on within a minute because something doesn't feel right. I'm so use to wearing any type watch since I was 14 that my left arm feels lighter for some reason; but none of the watches I own are "heavy".

Cool watch, Randy!

For the fossil haters, why hate? Their more expensive ones are nice (the one I wear is $300 or so, nothing too ridiculous). Got family that works at their HQ.

I combined my watch pic with my "middle finger for the fossil haters" pic.

Funny thread, but I don't have one of those funny subtitled pictures.

cheers,
littles
