Re: Watches
An expensive watch is the one piece of really nice jewelry that it is acceptable for men to wear. I don't have any problem with that, but it's still expensive jewelry. That side, those are some really nice looking watches.

This about sums it up.
An expensive watch, like expensive jewelry, is priced on a combination of what went into making it (both materials and skilled labor) and what the market will bear. It has only coincidental relation to the functionality/reliability of the piece.
In fact, many expensive timepieces are less reliable than a Timex or Casio (in much the same way that a Jaguar is less reliable than a Toyota).
