Is watch buying addictive?

[SpontaneousOrder]

I spent $100 on mine about 12 years ago. Some time back a colleague (sporting an 800 quid <whatever - I've forgotten - TAG, was it?>) sneered at my timepiece and said "You can tell a lot about a man by his wristwatch".

If I could have been bothered I'd have challenged him to produce his findings on that particular study.

He probably would have said the same thing if you'd had a Patek on your wrist

I like a lot of the Breitlings, except they're generally too shiny, and a bit chunky. I've got fairly small wrists and I think they'd be a bit big.

The only problem with some of the Brietlings is that they have a button on the side which acts as a tracking device for if you get lost in a rain forest or some such - I can only assume that they send in a hit SAS squad to rescue you from said predicament. Problem is you know, just know that you'd want to try that button out

That would be handy for diving - wish my Seamaster had one.

Answer to OP - no.

Indeed you can the bigger and more ostentatious the watch the dumber and more annoying the person


probably!

A picture of the Breitling model I have, I don't like the new ones so I think my addiction to shiny things is cured

I have the same one. But black. Very nice.

With any luck someone's picking me up one of these duty free next week. The bracelet is superb.
