    Mobiles being a status symbol are so last century.

        ... a watch is an item of jewellery (one of the only ones a man can wear) and is no different to a ring, or a necklace insofar as you can pay barely anything, or silly money for them. The only difference is that a watch 'does' something.

        Expensive watches are status symbols - nowt wrong with that.
        status symbols yes. but also symbols of taste. i find most of the status watches are so intent on making a statement that they end up looking too flashy and therefore too tacky.

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  If you want to know the time, ask a policeman. Go on, I dare you.

                    Officina Panerai Luminor Base Logo Edition.

                    Purchased with the money from my first invoice as a contractor. I had been lusting for it for years.

                    Fully mechanical, I wind it every morning, no battery to go dead or be impossible to replace.

                    I love it. I believe I don't have to spend energy thinking about getting a watch anymore in my lifetime.

                      OK - you're clearly a watch salesman who has only joined the forum to plug your merchandise.
