    If there are any watch aficionados in this group, get a load of this guy's video. Just watch a few minutes and you'll get the drift. I found it hilarious. It's NSFW for language.

    I got into it and out of it a little past 2 minutes. Not having worn a watch for 40+ years, that fellow became incredibly tiresome.

    Heck, I don't understand why someone would spend more than a hundred bucks for a wrist watch.

    Didn't watch all of it, but did find it funny. I would hate to hear what he would say about my collection (8 or 9 watches that have combined total of just over the $1k range he is ranting about).

    I have 2 Timex watches that are sure to become very valuable. They are in safe storage in my sock drawer. :D

    Watch people routinely pay $20,000 for gold watches. They're Bernie Ecclestone's preferred target audience for F1.

    Expect the gold Apple Watch to easily be over $10,000, the mid range over $1,000 and the cheapest we already know will be $350.

    I couldn't buy a smart watch because I don't wear the same watch everyday, so I wouldn't reap the "benefits" of one.

    Just had the Tag Heuer that I havent't worn since the early 90's fixed. Needed only a new battery and cleaning. $25bucks.

    I don't wear it often. kinda beat up looking gold on black sports model. I like it. Serves me well.

    I do have a thing for watches. Started early on, I was about 10, we were on Barbados, Dad bought a Rolex. I got my first Breitling Navitimer.

    Ever since I've been a horological enthusiast. Not that my wallet can afford my tastes...

    There's a difference between being an enthusiast or aficionado and snobbishly ridiculing all sub-$4K watches and any filthy, bottom-feeding peasant willing to wear one.

    Man..... Here a I thought a horological enthusiast meant something else entirely

    I never had a top money watch and eventually stopped wearing one altogether since my cell phone had a clock on it.

    I was a bit of a watch hoarder myself, had some 10 or so nice watches (none over around $250). But stopped wearing them around 10 yrs ago after an incident that could have been much worse.....got the watch caught on a load of drywall as it shifted. Now I just check my phone for the time.

    Yes Scooter. I could tell it was his thumb. I was pointing out that perhaps he is a little backwards with his "habit." That's all.
