    My watch collection is not huge by any means, but I do have quite a few Swiss watches in it, but never a Rolex. I had planned on gifting myself when I retire (2 years)...Ive wanted one forever, but the better half convinced me to pull the trigger now so I can start enjoying it...so I did.

    My brand new Rolex Milgauss is a reality, and I am stoked!

    Nice, I'm a bit of a WIS but I don't have anything of that caliber. What drew you to that particular style?

    I love white faced watches, and I am an Amateur Radio operator. Rolex claim is this watch is shielded against RF and magnetic fields, so it fits my electronics background. Did you see the second hand?

    Yea. Pretty cool. Just like the old Reddy Kilowatt characters arms and legs.

    I don't normally wear a watch. But when I do, it's a budget Timex. But it does have a white face. And Indiglo :D

    (nice looking watch BTW)

    The Milgauss was high on my list for quite some time. The whole anti-magnetic thing is interesting. 2yrs ago Omega introduced a new movement with some pretty cool technology that allowed for similar resistance, but incorporated a date window. Pretty ridiculous what goes into something that most people consider to be a simple machine.

    my $14.00 casio's rubber strap just broke. Strap itself is almost as expensive as the whole watch. Maybe I'll go with one of those rolex's

    Neat looking watch but I'll never understand paying so much money for something that just tells the time.

    Also I just downloaded the same exact watch face for my Moto360. :D

    Rolex's dont just tell time, they are works of art, jewelry, hand made precision wonders. Have you ever seen a Rolex being made? Have you ever even seen the inside of a Rolex?

    And people with disposable income do many things. Some spend inordinate amounts on hot rods, super cars, boats, guns, hell, I know a guy who has a $40k+ comic book collection.

    And why did you buy a Taco instead of a Ranger?

    I dont think your comment was very fair.

    Well stated. Its one of those, either you get it or you don't. It doesn't make sense explaining when someone says, hey I can check time on my phone
