But... THIS IS RIDICULOUS! It may be a high end collectors piece, it may hold its value, it may get the job done in a more mechanically elaborate and internally beautiful way, and it may be a status symbol (if you're a douche bag). If you're in to the first three then great! It's not a socialist country yet, do what you like!
But don't say its any more functional than my iphone at telling time, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T SAY IT SUGGESTS YOU HAVE CHARACTER OR CLASS!!!!! Hitler probably wore an overly expensive rare watch...
Live your life in a way that gets you compliments. There are literally an infinite number of things you could do with that $1,10,100k that would "show character and class" buying this watch does not.

C'mon man, you're entitled to your opinion, but you just went overboard.
No matter what you say, people with class DO notice good watches... It's a fact. A good watch may get you a friend in rare places, an unexpected favor, a discount on a future watch (heh), and countless approving glances from people who may never even choose to comment.
You can wear a Timex, and if you keep it clean and it's unique, then you'll get my nod of approval. It doesn't have to be a $5k+ watch, as to each his own -- but there are many benefits to fine timepieces that you may never realize due to your ignorance (no harshness intended).
This was my first nice watch, I still wear it all the time and I can even go through metal detectors with it (It's full titanium). I get compliments ALL the time, but the reason I love to wear it is because of it's functionality.
I love watches, and I love this thread.
