What do you think of expensive watches?

So i want to invest in an expensive watch. Specifically an Omega Constellation 18k gold. It's $2800. The omega sea master is $1500. I know people say spending over 100 bucks on a watch is not very smart but i'm pretty sure watches like rolex and omega hold their value. What do you think about investing an an omega watch, would you do it in the future or have done it?

I think that would be one of the most dumbass things you could do, and you would look like a tool while wearing it.

Watches arent "investments." They dont gain value over time.

I personally wouldnt do it as there are more things i can purchase that give me greater value, but if you really want them that badly, go for it.

If I wear nice jewelry around my city I will get robbed.

Never much liked watches.

Pocket watches are pretty ballin' imo, even if they aren't practical. Not that I'd ever wear one.

some of them just look ridiculous.

A big waste of money.

I don't know. I'm not going to ignorantly tell you what to do when I probably have no idea on the matter, unlike some.

I wouldn't spend over 500$ for a watch and if i did spend anywhere near the 500$ mark it would have to be something amazing at a huge discount price, i when normally look at watch anywhere from 50-200 and tend not to go over that. And you can get good quality watches for that price obviously not the same level as that but good none the less.

I dunno, 2.8k seems way too expensive. Not to mention it's something that can easily go "missing" and is pretty hard to hide from the public eye.

I personally think many of the omega collection watches are very cute and stylish and I would definitely consider it a worthwhile investment. While I can't say I'd buy one in the future(i'm just not all that fond of wearing watches myself) I can definitely admire a mans decision to invest in a quality one. It's a pretty good look for a guy to have a nice expensive luxury watch on his wrist IMO. I've spent way more then that on each and every one of my handbags and I don't regret buying any of them. If you really want it and you have money to blow then I say go for it.

I wear a Rolex (I can take pics if you want) and I would say go for it.

My wife bought me a several thousand dollar Tag a few years ago, I love. it.

i guess the only problem is when to wear it. If you wear it daily while taking the subway to work u might get robbed. So it's like...you can only wear it i guess to a friend's house, party, etc.

you bought it with your own money or was it a gift? why'd u buy it just wondering

its like you went right ahead and painted a target on your wrist

Well, if you want one and dont mind spending the money, then by all means get one. Sure a 10$ watch from walmart can do the same thing, but is it as nice, will it age well and will it last long? Of course not. An expensive anything is bought to be kept and used over a lifetime, its not something you use for a couple of years (maybe not even) and then discard, unlike most things in today's society.

Like I said, if you are aware of the value it holds and appreciate the craftsmanship of the watch, then get it. If you are just buying it to spend money, have something fancy and dont care about the value of the watch, I wouldn't recommend it.

A lot of nice watches on eBay, I bought a $250 Bulova for $75... and yes its real.

You're above my pay grade on that one, but if you can afford to spend (I guess "to spare" I should say) that on a watch you want, you might as well reward yourself. I don't understand the mentality that something much cheaper is just as good, because you didn't say you simply wanted a watch that works. Also, rich people tend to buy a lot of expensive things. My general opinion, I don't have one. I can't afford expensive watches and haven't had any to speak on.

Ehh....their kinda boring.... i mean all it really does is tell the time and all det stuff, I have a cell-phone already for that lol. Plus if i was gonna spend some big money, I'd want somethingthat wouldnt get old and boring

I never understood why people spend so much money on clothes and what not. I guess it's a bigger deal in some of the bigger cities. metallica_fan42

it's a status symbol. Someone living in the ghettos off food stamps with 5 siblings is not going to be able to afford the things that a family living in a high class area can afford.

They're really hokey.

some girls might especially the really rich high class ones. Not to mention their family

A video game forum is not a good place to ask a this. Most of the responses will be "its a waste of money".

I think Omega is a great luxury watch brand. I would actually go for the Seamaster if I had the chance. The Seamaster is both modern and sleek looking and its just a pretty awesome watch. Is it the James Bond version? If so, I would definetely go for it. The Omega Constellation for me is too expensive and for that look I'd rather go for a Rolex or Cartier. Seamaster overall is fancy looking but sleek and modern, and plus, James Bond wears it.

I think they look awesome.

I wouldn't do it, but I sure would if I wore a watch. Gotta look nice, y'know. ;)

How old are you? If you're under 30, it won't really serve as a status symbol. Most people will probably think you have rich parents. Otherwise, go ahead (as long as it's not taking a big bite in your savings).

I don't even have a watch. When you have the time on your cell phone which is always at arms reach for me and clocks throughout practically every building, there is no need for one in my opinion.
