Yeah, I like the look of Bell & Ross too. Infact I just recently discovered that the Square Bell & Ross watch comes in 2 sizes (46 mm and 42mm). I also started a thread in OT about Bell & Ross and I think I said a while back that the only time you see me with a 3K watch on my wrist is if I win the lottery

I might visit a local store that sell B&S just to see how they look in real life.

sorry , one more post in a row.

Here is the way I see it, I spend a retarded amount on a watch, yes. is it dumb, maybe.
however its my jewelery, My wife has way more expensive rings, so whats the big deal.

girls have expensive rings and drive...well whatever... so what does your watch have to do with what you drive. I would drive a beater and still have a nice watch.

hey thats also how I convienced my wife that an expensive watch makes sense. er or how I got her to allow me to get one, anyway.

what practical advantage does "more mechanical complexity" offer over less mechanical complexity? Other than bragging rights that "my watch has more moving parts than yours", none.

I have nothing against expensive watches, and I understand the differences just fine. My point is that buying an expensive watch is not justifiable in the way that buying most expensive cars are.

Seriously people, learn how to read and understand what is being said.
