Nah – I appreciate the craftsmanship of those brands but they don’t do anything for me emotionally.

fancy watches are nothing but jewelry – and therefore nothing but show. Not buying one because you care about what time it is.
A $1m home is used…should be bigger, nicer etc than the $500k home…. Time is time and rolex doesn’t make time any nicer. It is for show.
I’m liking the Bell & Ross Phantom too….

I’m with you on that – gaudy too!
But the engineering on some watches is incredibly beautiful.
“Fuck – I’m not wealthy, why do i like expensive watches so much?”
But you will be, DH, so it’s good that you acquired your expensive taste early!
At least cartier is a watchmaker. Tiffany is not, just repackages the movements.

chicken, me too! I’m currently enjoying a Rolex-resembling-Swatch (very similar metal link band) that my stepsister gave me for my birfday.
