Lol, no worries! Spending that much on a watch is a little crazy. It's like buying a multi-thousand dollar 1911 when a Glock 19 does everything you need.
I could never stomach paying $2,000 for an entry level Wilson 1911 when my G19s are working just fine, yet I will probably drop about that on a Sinn 103 next year even though I have plenty of watches: http://www.watchbuys.com/store/pc/Si...elet-4p291.htm. There's just something about a little machine running quietly and accurately on my wrist under it's own power, yet it's water resistant to 200m and reasonably shock resistant. That's just cool.
A sub-$100 G-Shock has a lot of cool features and is tougher than pretty much anything else out there: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0097L...3NY8Z8NT3FC48P. Spending more only makes sense if the watch "speaks" to you some how.
The $500 - $1,000 range is an odd zone, to me at least. Even if you are into automatic movements, there are some nice Seikos, Orient's, and micro brands under $500 (dress, tool, diver - take your pick). Most of my watches are well under that. Once you get to the $1,000 - $2,000 range you have some really great watches that a offer more than toughness (fun history, greater attention to detail in design and build, cool tech, etc.). I'm a big tool watch fan, and a bit of a watch hipster (Want to know what watch I'm wearing? Never mind, you've probably never heard of it), so Sinn and Damasko turn me on. Other folks really love Omega. To each his own.

Just bought this one last week as my intro to higher end watches.

98z28 - the attraction to cool stuff runs very deep in me. Since I began reading pf, I discovered a great appreciation I never knew I had for edged weapons. There is a beauty to a knife blade that draws me in that I can't explain. I've always loved watches and this thread really "works" for me. I may be in big trouble here. Gotta start playing the lottery, I guess.

Well done, old boy.

I've said it before somewhere in this very thread: you're not a true WIS until you've bought and sold more than one U series Sinn...
Nice pickup!
Does anyone have a Marathon GSAR? I have a few watches I want to get next year, i'm on the fence about this one.
Acquiring a U1 has only made me want to get a U2...

That U1 is sharp! A Sinn is on my short list for next year. Although there's a few on that list!
