Oh, so it's even cooler than he initially thought.

I have a nice Submariner and it sits in my home safe. Never wear it anymore and have an Apple Watch instead

Anyone who considers a watch a status symbol should eat a bullet. I like my Rolex because it keeps perfect time and is water proof. Function over small-dicked-and-poor-narcissism, I guess.

Moonwatch has been my grail for a while. It's pretty popular and on the beaten path for watch people, but it's also just such a classic. Unfortunately spending a few thousand on a watch just wouldn't be responsible at this time.

I bought a Rolex two yrs ago.

My grandfather had one that he bought in the 50's and I always thought it was really cool and always wanted one.

I love the way they look and I reached a point in my life where I could buy one without worrying about the money.

I don't care if anyone notices it.

I wear it for me because I love it.

The first Bond watch was actually a Gruen. But the Rolex 6358 was the most famous.

I have an AirKing and a DateJust, they were both gifts and I think they're subtle looking for a Rolex. But I probably wouldn't have ever bought them for myself.

I would like to buy a vintage Omega Seamster or Constellation.
