I just hate people who rack up 6K on a credit card and expect us to be impressed. The richest people I know 10-20mil+ wear Seiko, Skagen, Citizen. I guess when you have a 12in wang, you don't have to try and prove something to everyone.

So go out and buy your Rolexes and lease your BMWs. We know better.

LMAO. Tell you what. I wear a Tag because I want to and I can pay cash for it. I could give two sh*ts what you or anyone else thinks.

I don't quite understand why people are so quick to judge people who enjoy material goods. I have a job where I make more than enough to make ends meet, save for retirement, and still make stupid purchases. I own a $2000 Tag, which I bought for $600 during the F&F sale. I don't regret it. If times get tight, I know that I'll be able to eBay it for close to that. Over the life of the watch, it will literally costs a few cents a day over a Seiko, which I'm ok with. Don't get me wrong, I have a Seiko Black Monster and love it, but there's times when you need something a little different. I'm buying a BMW, not because of the roundel on the front, but because I enjoy the ride and it's useful for my life. After haggling and european delivery, my X3 ended up being cheaper than a similarly equipped Nissan Murano.

I'm fully aware that cars and (most) watches are depreciating assets. But I'm also aware that the human body is a depreciating asset. So as long as ends meet, money's saved, and all needs are fulfilled, why not splurge for the things you enjoy? You can't take money to the afterlife.

How am I supposed to afford a $911 watch? We're in a recession here!

no Tag for me. PAM 4ever!!!! link

Sounds like you need a hug.

Oh geeze...as if this thread wasn't ugly enough, now we're going to start throwing around words like 'timepiece'....

"Sir, are you wearing a timepiece? Could you tell me what time it is?"

$911 for a watch is pretty resonable. I wont be caught wearing\buying a quartz unless its an IronMan or Garmin forerunner.

I'm down with OPP...

I love my quartz aquaracer that I received as a 10 year gift from my employer. It's sporty yet dressy enough to wear pretty much everywhere. I could have exchanged it for an Oris automatic at the same price point but the low maintenance and accuraccy of the quartz made me keep the Tag. I also prefer the look of the Tag to the Oris F2.

When buying a watch online make sure you get the right size. 44mm watches are pretty big while 38mm might be too small for some people. watchuseek.com is a great website for all things watch related. I don't think I will every become a 20 watch guy but I have been thinking of getting an inexpensive Hamilton automatic just to see what the hub bub about automatic movement is about.

Oh and this is a good price for this particular watch. The costco by me as a Tag Link for $1K which is nice due to their return policy. They also carry much higher brand names.

I have a Tag Link and absolutely love it. The way I look at it...both of my cars were paid for in cash, I have no debt, max out my 401k and Roth, put the rest in Vanguard funds, hang out in FW for my gadgets and finances, and I'll spend my money as I please. Seriously, some of you need to get a life instead of thread crapping and bashing others for spending their hard-earned money for things that please themselves. Not everything in life has to come on a deal or steal. I can spend $2K on my watch that'll last a lifetime, and hold or even appreciate in value, and one can go and spend $300 for the latest video card that they'll have to upgrade every two to three years. Who comes out ahead and why should I judge them just because I don't play games? As long as you're financially sound, invest some money in your happiness once in a while.
