LOL!! It makes me dizzy to look at it.

I said it before- when I see a 20K watch, I typically assume it's a fake. Beyond that, a real $20K watch says to me that person is trying way too hard to tell me they are somebody that can afford an expensive watch. .

how many people even know what a 20K watch looks like?? most of he world thinks an expensive watch was one the costs more than $20 in the walmart jewelry section...

I think it is the Daytona that I like?

That's the Daytona. The one in the pic has the meteorite face. It's an actual slice from a metallic meteor. They get all the money for it. Last time I looked they were pulling more for the all-stainless than the gold- I couldn't understand why. You may want to look at a vintage one- with the Zenith movement. The classics are kinda cool.

Everyone knows what a Rolex is. It's a Cigarette for your wrist. Very few people know what a Chronoswiss is. But because everyone knows what a Rolex is, you have incredible fakes out there now. I've seen some that were impossible to tell apart without opening. And they're not $35 Rolexes either. They're $600 one's.

Mark- if you really want a nice watch and want it because you want a watch, not want to impress people with your watch, take a look around at some of the other brands. I think you'd like a Panerai- they're very unique and stylish. Another interesting watch is the IWC (International Watch). They basically cover the same ground as Rolex.

Dear Uncle BBB,

Thank you so very much for the nice Engagement present. I will wear it with pride (not that kind of "pride") and I can't wait to see what you get me as a wedding present. If you need a hint; either of your boats are fine by me.

Thanks again,
MM

Bingo! I like the idea of the $600 deal and $19K in my pocket! Is lying a good way to start a marriage or does that just come at the end of it?

Of course- whatever I like- even if it is understated like this- is more $.

See:

50 Nortech (vs 80 Nortech) plain white (vs wild graphics) with trip 1075's (vs 1800 Chiefs) and donkey dongs (vs straight pipes)?

Is that better you whinners

How bout you just tell her you're not spending thousands of $$ on something you don't really want. You were happy to buy her ring because you know she'll love it but that an expensive watch is going to be wasted on you. Go drop a couple hundred on a ring for you to wear when you dress up and call it done. Leave the rest of the money in the boat fund.

This may have been the longest a watch thread has gone before someone brought up Tommy.

Christ - I have less than a hundred dollars in both my watch AND my wedding ring combined.... I like it like that because then I don't have to give a damn about either.

In case you're wondering it is a Fossil and it is blue like my guage bezel's with Red highlights like my guage LED lights. Perfect match, and I can go buy another at JC Penny's anytime I need a replacement....

My ring looks like I took an old galvanized washer and flattened it out. I swore I wouldn't wear it but my wife put it on at the alter and it hasn't bothered me and I have never taken it off. I definitely wouldn't drop much coin on a wedding band.....

I'm pretty fashionable....
