  2. And what if you can afford it and want a brand new one for your wrist and not a second hand one. It is like saying everybody should buy a second hand car.

  3. +Sean If you are buying with credit it means you cannot afford the watch and it also means that the person selling it to you knows this. And if they know this they also know that you are probably are not that good with finance and have a disconnect with money so they will try and sell you the highest they can because they know that you are not thinking of the long term aspect of the buy. In other words they know that people like this simply do not care if it is 1200 or 1800.

  4. Some people only want new. I am one of those people. I rarely buy second hand even though my Rolex was given to me by my grandfather I do not consider it second hand.

  10. Bankers gave us the modern world. What bankers have done is allowed normal working people to buy homes. When there was no bankers people lived in houses belonging to rich lords and the land they farmed belonged to the rich lords. You need to think or do some research before you speak.

  11. If your friends all drive Mercedes, BMW or Rolls and all wear watches the price of a house you are hardly going to impress them.

  12. I am sure the person who buys the 35 grand watch will also go on cruises if they desire and they probably go skiing as well and Scuba diving. They probably fly business or first class as well. They probably drive a BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Rolls or Bentley.

  13. It may keep working but it is a mechanical device that has wear within its movements and if you leave it too long it may require a complete overhaul. Depending on the watch every 5 years a clean up and check and a little lubrication will do it no harm.
