I do have to make one snarky comment though... he's never spent more than $350 on a watch? He's definitely not a watch guy. LOL. I'm not gonna say how much the watch I'm looking at right now costs, though several I've really drooled over were almost $20k. There's no way I could talk the wife into letting me drop the hammer on that though.

My Stührling Meteorite in rose gold retails for over $3K but I set it aside for my Apple Watch. . . because even though it's a beautiful watch, all it does is look good and tell time. My Apple Watch looks good and does one heck of a lot more for me.

I have a Longines Wittnauer chronograph I bought when I was in college 50 years ago. Today that watch is worth north of $5K, but it needs work to get it going again, probably just tuning up and lubrication. But it just looks good and tells time with a stop watch/ tachometer and day/date feature. I have several more Chronograph watches including a Citizen Eco, a Seiko, and a couple of top end Invictas. I doubt I will ever wear them again except for the meteorite for dress. The Apple Watch is now my everyday watch because it is useful for so many things beyond just being a time piece.

Are you in the mood to sell anything?
