The only difference is you cant act smug about the 25 dollar one. i made a list of all the things i want in a watch. found a watch that fit my wrists with those specs...it happened to be 1k the things i look for in a watch: sapphire crystal with clear AR coating-no mineral crystal, no sapphire with no AR, no sapphire with AR with blue coating, has to be this way automatic movement-anything from ETA that's been regulated is good. no quartz, no +/- 1 min per day lume with BGW9-C3 is technically stronger lume, but it is green in daylight, BGW9 is as strong as it gets while remaining white in daylight hours applied indices, not painted indices 38-39mm diameter no more than 47mm lug to lug i prefer thinner watches, but my diver is 13.3mm thick. my GMTs will be 10.2mm thick i prefer exhibition caseback, but that is not a deal breaker i like the GMT function, but that is not a deal breaker if there is a bezel, it needs to be butter smooth when rotated, it cannot be a struggle to rotate and i like a lot of contrast on my watches oh shit, you actually know about watches or like them.

The only difference is you cant act smug about the 25 dollar one. This is very, very wrong in so many levels. People don't buy watches to tell the time anymore. Look around you. Your phone tells you the time. Your laptop tells you the time. Your car tells you the time. Your radio tells you the time. Your cable box tells you the time. Watches are fashion statements. speaking of fashion statements, in a world where everyone is wearing Apple Watches and the like, seeing someone rocking a regular wrist watch is awesome to me lol - makes great conversations Yeah you know what's crazy? People balk at spending 1k on a watch, but the list price for a series 4 apple watch is $529.00. Smartwatches become obsolete in 2 years or so, meaning you'll spend 1060 in 2 years. Meanwhile a 1k watch will be stylish forever good points there the other month i was going to buy the lastest Apple Watch seeing as all my friends were rocking one and how convenient it seemed to be (tracking steps, getting messages etc.) but i couldn't do it because they just seem to be everywhere and it just doesn't have any personality to them --- Sent from my IPhone X <cite>SaccharineSmile posted [p:926593405] in imagine th...
