I've always said that for my 40th I would treat myself to a nice watch, something like an Omega Speedmaster, but then I got thinking.....
What are you actually paying all that money for ? Does it keep time any better than a £100 watch, do the lumes shine long and bright , etc etc etc.
What's the point in spending 2.5k on a watch when it looses just as many seconds per month as a cheap watch ?
You could argue that why do people spend thousands on diamonds and gold when it has no use other than looking good and making you feel nice. Surely though with expensive watches they are actually meant to do something or than look good ? Or is the aspect of telling the time actually a secondary aspect of what an expensive watch is about ?
I'm not trying to knock expensive watches, I'm just trying to justify buying one really .
