| 460922 | 2006-06-06 09:12:00 | I stopped wearing a watch when I started my mechanic apprenticeship. Got scared when I heard story of guy with metal strap watch 'shorting' out and burnt his wrist. Now when anyone asks me the time - I look up at the sun and take an educated guess. The gulliable think its amazing - those that know me think I am full of s**t. I agree with those that know me. Always have cellphone, radio going and clock in the car. Time goes so fast whats the point in knowing the time - it will only change next time you ask. |

| 460925 | 2006-06-06 11:42:00 | There is a slight difference between that and say a tasteless Tag Heuer that could easily be an Asian knock-off. Besides, you could buy a very nice car for what an Audemars Piguet costs. Nothing against people with money, but when it comes to 'bang for your buck' let me see... car... watch... car... watch... err, I think I'll take the car thanks :thumbs: |

| 460927 | 2006-06-06 12:58:00 | Personally I like the look of a good watch. But I don't wear mine - my computer clock is all I need. The watch I own has been sitting on a side table for the last five or six years - it's a Seiko - runs brilliantly, and is about 25 years old. Still looks stylish, but the best thing about it is that I got it for free - the jeweller that gave it to me was a customer I had when I was in the retail liquor industry. I used to give him quality wines at greatly discounted prices, and his gift to me was a thank-you. :) |

| 460930 | 2006-06-06 21:59:00 | Well I've got a gold Rolex. Bought it in Singapore for about $10. On the odd occasion that I have worn it people have believed it's genuine. That makes ME feel stupid. People think I'm stupid for wearing a $20,000 watch. |
