Good points. I don't think expensive watches are about impressing people. At least, that's certainly not why I own a few. Just like my BMW is not about impressing anyone. I love the car. I love the way it looks. I love driving it. I love the sound. I couldn't care less if people are impressed by it or not. As a matter of fact, most of my buddies have never heard of the 1 Series and really couldn't care less about it.

I feel the same about watches. I own a Seamaster that I wear regularly. It cost more than some of my buddies make in a few months. When I wear it, no one notices or says anything. Which is good, since they'd be shocked to know how much it cost. I feel the same about the watch as I do my BMW. I like nice things and feel a certain satisfaction about owning them. Hope that makes sense.
