I fully understand the wanting one. I personally don't want a crazy expensive watch so I'll probably never buy one. It's just like my wife has no comprehension of why I spend so much money on guns and vehicles but its what I like and that's all the reason I need. So I understand why you guys get them. Personally I think its retarded to spend that kind of cash on a watch but its your hard earned money, who am I to tell you how to spend it. 
I just didn't understand how the fact that someone has a nice watch puts them above someone else. When I interview someone besides their qualifications I try to hold a conversation to see if they interact well and will fit in well with our company. I don't care what brand their watch or clothes is, as long as they're well groomed and dressed well I move on to the much more important stuff that's going to make them make my company money and contribute to a good working environment.
I suppose I'm a little out of touch with the super high executive level since I'm just a senior construction inspector. The value of a good appearance is not lost upon me though. I wear nice cinch jeans, nice belt and a magellan collared, button down, long sleeve shirt on the jobsites even though I could get away with a 15$ pair of wore out Levis and a tshirt. I very much a proponent of dress-to-impress, just IMO there is a point of diminishing returns.

Watch aficionados DO look at what you are wearing, and can tell if you are a broke dick or actually have some taste. Just because you may not notice, believe me - several do. Especially when you get into the executive level at most companies. Buying yourself a nice watch is what most consider a reward for hard work. Knowing you can blow thousands just because you can.

Fossil watches are **** and wasn't cutting it anymore. Batteries run out, dials break off, there pieces of ****. You spend $150 on a watch and then 3-6 months later it breaks and they want $75 bucks to send it in and fix it. Now you have a $225 Fossil watch. I said no more to that...
NiceBall is right on all levels. Also for you fossil wearing people, start looking at what's on other peoples wrist and you'll be surprised what you find.

I am a Rolex fan I own 2 my wife has 2 and all my brothers have them.yes in the high end watch community Rolex is one of the lower end watches.i don't buy new ones cause I don't see a 8k watch when u walk out the door it becomes a 4k watch.
