What's on your wrist?

Was kind? So now you are not you are gonna sell it and spunk the money up against the wall rather than pass it down??

Oops. Spelling now corrected.

Colours are way too bright on that one.

I'm sure you know this but you can get a Submariner no date that doesn't have the cyclops... I'd opt for no cyclops if I had a choice.

Indeed - 14060. It's a cracking watch - I am not a fan of the ceramic, and prefer the older version. The alternative is a Deepsea / Seadweller, but they also wear thick and are overkill.

I also have a 5512, which has a plexi and is my favourite, but I never wear it anymore. Plexi has been cracked and I damaged it when I changed the time on an aircraft flying to SA. I never tightened the crown and went in the sea...expensive mistake.

[WTFH]

Not into posh watches. Having a watch worth more than many people's cars seems a bit like bragging.

For some people it's not about bragging it's about having a significant and long-lasting present for a big birthday.

A watch that outlasts several cars is a memento of a special day.

Do you also disagree with wedding rings and engagement rings using your same logic?

That cost more than a car? Yes. And those are symbolic of a life-long binding committment (supposedly) not a memento.

Depends on the value of your car.
Vet was the one mentioning watches "worth more than many people's cars"

And yes, a good watch at 20 years old will be worth more than most 20 year old cars, and is more likely to still be functioning properly.

As for the wedding ring analogy, the watch my wife was going to buy me would cost roughly the same as her engagement ring. The fact that it would have been given to me on the 10th anniversary of us getting engaged would show that it is part of a re-affirmation of a life-long commitment to each other.

Sure, basically like an eternity ring then.

A multi-function one. Not only is it "symbolic", it's also a "memento of a birthday" and it tells the time.

An Eternity ring only manages one of those!

[d000hg]

If it's multi-function you wanted, you should've asked for a Swiss army knife.

Although I've got a nice looking TAG 6000 that I bought in the late 90s, I stopped wearing it about 7-8 years ago. Now I just use my phone to tell the time.
