I like the look of this watch:

<..snip..>

It is a mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter. I like analogue watches which do more than just tell the time. But don't think that it is worth the price tag of $132,000 Shocked

That's sweet! Just wait till Bitcoin conquers the ~~suckers~~ masses and we'll be able to buy two of them with one Bitcoin.

Only 55 of these watches will be made, so there may not be enough for all the new bitcoin-billionaires Wink

i love omega fossil and Casio i have a collection of every color in casio g-shock as well

have one omega as its a bit expensive

Yes they are expensive for the original purchaser but an Omega will last for generations, a plastic Casio won't. Cheap watches definitely have a purpose. You don't want to wear a pricy watch to garden or work on the car.

It's only being a snob if someone else knows the value of what you're wearing and you are wearing it for show.

There are a lot of great watches that don't cost much. I own several of these watches made for the US and Canadian military: http://www.marathonwatch.com/search/category/29

Two of Goats new cars couldn't buy the watch I want: the Jaeger LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon.

This would be too much for me, If my watch ever costed more than my car I'd feel awkward wearing it. I'd just be too worried someone might steal it or something and also feel a bit like a snob.
I'm currently using something like this:

Very reliable, cost <$200.

I am too poor to afford watch... Too much of a luxury for me.

This was my great grandfathers watch. The story I was told was my great grandmother bought it for him in the 1930s. After he returned from the First World War he refused to buy himself anything extravagant. Instead he spent every penny building their house and providing for them and their children. It's been cleaned by a jeweler every 5 years for 82 years and works flawlessly. Four generations of men in my family have worn this for at least 15 years each. My son will be wearing it soon.

This is what really matters, when it tells a story, brings back memories. I love old cars, watches, jewelry.
I wouldn't change that old watch for any other.

Agreed, I hope none of my primogeniture ever decides they like money more than history. I'd like this watch to be in my family forever.

Thanks! That's what started me collecting. Here is my favorite watch. The wife told me, "no more watches" so I don't own this one.....yet. Wink

Can it tell the time? Where are the hands? lol. Would look better without the Skyfall logo and all the other writing.

lol The writing kind of makes it what it is - a James Bond watch.

Man the new Co-axial series is off the chain, I'm not a huge Omega fan, although I do own a few.
