watches

I liked Omega watch, and the last one is really nice.
Why not just quartz Rolex?

I’m not entirely sure on this but I don’t think Rolex makes quartz. Also, Rolex pushes up the price to another level. A decent submariner will easily triple (probably more) the original price point the OP had in mind.
 
I guess some people think Rolexes are too mainstream, so they want something different. There’s also a non-trivial price difference between Rolex and some of the brands mentioned here.
Anyway, true BSDs own this watch:
http://www.amazon.com/Zenith-96-0529-4035-Tourbillon-Titanium-Chronograp...
As some of the customer reviews mention:
“this watch is more awesome than Chuck Norris riding Godzilla”
“As I… viewed the watch for the very first time, I hear the faint sound of angels singing. It was the closest thing to an out of body experience.”
“my life has been getting better and better. I hooked up with my ginger best friend’s ginger sister, Oprah is retiring, and I just found out that Morgan Freeman is my real Dad.”
“This is the watch Jesus Christ would have worn if Christians believed in time”
 
I’ve considered a Rolex but they’re not my style. Besides I can’t come up with a reasonable argument to add another watch to my rotation of three. Watches however have a serious fan base, and it’s not uncommon to find dudes who have ten or more Omegas @ $2K-6K each, for instance.
Of the two guys running the show in my job, one has as $30K-50K+ Breguet and the other one uses nothing, so it’s a personal preference.
 
I’ve shared my general rule in life that less is more on several occasions. The trend of cheap watches that have 80 different things on the dial drives me absolutely nuts. If you are spending less than $5,000 on a watch, it should only give you the time, date, and possibly the day. If you want a watch with a chronograph, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer, that goes by the model name “pilot”, “aviator”, or “mariner”, or any other implication that people have worn it on the moon or at the bottom of the ocean or on a Formula 1 racetrack, it better cost more than $5,000.
This is of course in regards to purely decorative watches worn in the office or while going out. I have a watch with some of those functionalities that I wear while skiing. I also have a watch with some of those functionalities that I wear while running marathons.
Cheap watches with a ton of crap on them look cheap.
If you are going to spend a grand on a watch, go with something classy.

my god, the comments on this watch are epic…niiiice
 
I saw the watch and thought “too sporty”, and then I saw the price and changed my mind.
I liked the comment that someone bought two watches to get an Amazon gift certificate of 100 dollars. And the other comment that it’s a great deal, and on 58K saved you can buy a car and go to Disneyland.
