Most watches cost less than replacing Carbon Ceramic brakes, so why do we order those?

Where does it say that men shouldn't show off with jewelry? Where does it say that men buy watches just to show off?

I luv watches in particular Omega! Cars and watches just seem to go together.

My daily driver is a Heuer F1 I've had for almost 10 years. Been ogling one of their Carrera models I love for a long time, but just can't spend $6-8k on a watch.

I love my watches.
Obviously, I've gravitated towards Rolex but have gone through many brands.
Now, I just need my GT4 - April or May delivery...

Thats a perfect collection! I love Omegas and I'm looking to get rid of my Seamaster 300m for a ceramic PO XL.

There are not many things (built by hand with meticulous construction and finish) that you can buy at $6-8k, use everyday for the rest of your life, and hand down to your kids. That's how I look at it.

Pity the poor watch forum! I decided to buy myself a nice watch last year to replace the Datejust my father had given me in 2005, which replaced his 1961 Oyster (which my daughter now wears as her daily).
So, I bought a Patek annual calendar to celebrate 30 years in practice. Then, my wife caught the bug and she got a Rolex Day/Date. The PP isn't the greatest sport watch for hunting, so I added an E II.
I can see where anyone who appreciates fine cars would gravitate to fine timepieces. I'm thinking of a JLC MUT moon 39 in rose gold "next". All of mine will go to my son, so it's all good.

Can't rotate the PP. No idea why. From a correct pic and shows as correct in preview.
Grrr.

I love the Patek 5146.
Someday, I may get one with Ivory dial.

I love that aquanaut!! I have the dual time version on the line but don't think it's a good/ smart move to do that plus my GT4 in the same year. Problem is on Feb 1, PP will enact the "absolutely no dealership consideration clause". I may have to sell off a couple future Father's Day allocations to appease the wife.

Excellent choices. I'm at 2/3 of your collection. I think iwc is in the future. Love watching Kevin spacey wear them on house of cards.
