Yet again a provocative thread handled commendably (mainly) by the fine members.

Sorry, no political talk.

Funny, I had an answer all written up for the OP, then I looked and saw the other 13 pages of responses.

I bet he has a Black Card ;-)

I would say that you're behind the power curve and need to catch up... C'mon...if you don't get one now, when will you..

I've never seen a Hardley (yes, I spelled it right) that was over $30k.... I do know most of the guys who buy them finance the **** out of them, and try to get it all back 2-3 years down the road.

If you're at $140k and you can't peel off $5k for a watch, you aint doing something right, or you're maxed out and need to swim in water that isn't over your head. I have 3 cars, 2 houses, THREE custom bikes and 3 Rolexes... and I don't "want" anything... you can always sell a Rolex, and lose little cash (if any).

Buying a $10k watch isn't like financing a $20k Hardley. Most of the watches I buy, I get use out of, and get my money back when I sell them (if not more).

$140k and never seen watches like these!!!! Gives me the impression the everyone of your work colleagues doesn't own a decent watch either?? Albeit you're all on $140k ...

If it smells like s...? tastes like s...? looks like s...? Then it probably is s... !!!

Sorry but IMHO..............

[bigterpsfan]

Justifying it is easy! A $10K+ watch now that will be easily worth $10K+ 10yrs down the road. The question is......how did you justify the beamer? Your $50K+ beamer will be worth next to nothing 10yrs from now. It probably depreciated about 1/2 the cost of a Daytona the second you drove it off the lot, if not more! But if you enjoy your car and it brings you happiness, as do the watches we wear, that is all that matters!

Guess this thread just wasn't buried deep enough. Too bad.

Isn't that the truth.

I do fairly well, $140k+ salary, BMW, boat, Harley, House... yet I can't justify spending $10k+ on a watch.

Who are all of you buying these watches, because the pictures posted here don't look like you are rolling in the money. Are you drug dealers, inheritance brats, or posers buying used Rolex's to show off?

I hate you all... except the posers because I could do that but prefer not to buy something that keeps food off the table or my children from attending good colleges.

Yeah, I don't have a BMW,Boat, or Harley. I have a Honda Pilot, swim trunks, and a Specialized M4 mountain bike. So that is where I saved the money to buy mine cash! Problem solved!!!!

Now you can sell em and buy your grail watch!!!!!

[Cato]

Like many said, it's priorities. I don't have a boat nor a BMW, but I have a brand spanking new, loli pop sucking, plastic encased Rolex from an Authorized Dealer. I've always felt that a fine watch can accompany me everywhere: even in the shower! If I had a Harley, it would sit in my garage most of the time. If I had a BMW, I'd have to leave it outside while I did other things. Boats? I love to sail. Let me rephrase that: "I LOVE TO SAIL!" but who has the time? My Rolex is always with me, my heat beating with its. I'm a salary slave who if he fails to come into work, his children fail to eat. Now, I don't buy these watches and leave them in the drawer of my nightstand for years at a time. I buy one every few years and wear it constantly. I had a friend like you who loved to travel and would drop 5-10K on a couple weeks. I guess he has his pictures and memories; I still have my watches!

Aw geez, hasn't this one died yet?

Guys, the more you open the door the more you let the smell in. Let's leave it be, shall we?

To be honest, methinks a lot of folks go into big-time debt to acquire the Rolex's they speak of.

Oh for Pete's sake. I'm putting a bullet in this thread and putting it out of everyone's misery.

Wildwing, I'll thank you not to make wild and baseless asuumptions about people you don't know.
