Actually the Yachtmaster II and the Daytona are pretty sharp looking.

My next watch will be a Franck Muller Crazy Hours.

Agreed.

:thumbsup

Got a Datejust as a gift myself, like it a lot.

I have a 1980 OysterQuartz, and I like it very much... they are pretty rare too..I have one like this...

I'm not a watch guy at all, its just a couple of years ago I finally decided under pressure to get a watch again.

Is the gold rolexes 100% gold (ie you don't need to take them off in the airport for the metal detectors) ? And are they water proof?

I could see myself wearing a watch I can't wear in a pool or the shower... helps keeping it clean and you always know the time.. same way I got a speciel credit card I punched a whole in to attach to the inside of the linnen in my shorts if I go to the beach or water theme parks so I can always buy shit when I want to...

Just need a waterproof phone and I will be good to go

I love watches, but no Rolex, yet. Got a Raymond Weil timepiece now, that I am very fund of.

So if a kid working at McDonalds takes his credit card to a pawnshop and picks up a real Rolex @ $20 and month, you would consider him a successful person?

yes, working at McDonalds is great success!

Regardless of what he is now, if he can get a real Rolex for $20 a month, then I think he may well end up being a successful person.

Glad to see watch wearing is still alive.

Even stainless Rolexes (watches) often won't set off a metal detector. The case is thick ass stainless which is non magentic.

Mine is a gold Presidential Day/Date. They go for more 'pre-owned' now than what I paid for it new, so I can't say it was a poor investment. Gold prices skyrocketing also certainly hasn't hurt the resale value on 18K gold Rolex watches. I've never felt the band pull at hairs on my arm. It also definitely brings a different level of service from retail salespeople or a restaurant maître d' if that's what you are looking for - but it can't do 99.999% of what my iPhone can do and my iPhone keeps time better as well.

LOL, her push gift was much nicer...:upsidedow

:thumbsup

Hello Due,

The gold is 100% solid, and no you don't need to take them out at airports, and YES they are waterproof.. Can't tell about the YM cause I have the sub with me ATM, which is good to 1000 Ft below.. I think the YM is a bit less (maybe down to 300ft at least), so you can jump in the pool no problem. I never remove my watch to swim...

Say Hi to the Darling :)

I hope one day I am making enough money to be able to afford one of these. I couldn't justify spending this on a watch as much as I'd like one unless I was making 100k a year. Which I clearly am not doing. I wish tho! I figured it is probably a safer bet to save my money and wait for the right time versus settling for a Tag or a watch under $2k when I know eventually I will still have the want for a Rolex....

The Cartier is nice looking too.

A $5-million watch, the world's most expensive, unveiled at show

By W.J. Hennigan

March 8, 2012, 10:40 a.m.

The world?s most expensive wrist watch, encrusted with 1,282 diamonds, was unveiled by Swiss watchmaker Hublot, according to a report by AFP.

The price? $5 million.

The white-gold watch was revealed this week at the world's biggest watch show, Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Show in Basel, Switzerland.

According to the AFP report, it took 17 people at Hublot 14 months to set the more than 140 carats of diamonds on the watch.

Jean-Claude Biver, president of the watch company, told AFP that it would be difficult to make a more expensive watch "because the surface of the watch is limited."

A quick perusal of Hublot?s website reveals that the company takes pride in over-the-top designs. The company has an entire section reserved for ?World Firsts.?

Biver also said that several people have expressed interest in acquiring it. He didn?t provide details.

I love Hublot!

Truth: new watch alert, Hublot?s
Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes

My favorite watches right now:

SO.....the verdict of the story is I opted to wait for the rolex. Unless I'm making enough side cash each month to pay in full then I don't deserve to own one. Not worth breaking the bank to be watch poor....hahahahaha
