Wow, this thread is good.

If I could add one thing to TT's solid advice it'd be this: Get a a couple of real [censored] watches, people! I don't mean showoff brands like Rolex or Omega (although if you have the $$$, sure, why not), just well designed, high-quality mechanics/automatics. I admit, there are some creative designs among the non-brands, but 99% of the time you'll be better off with a watch-watch.

If you'd buy a car, wouldn't you rather buy an Mercedes than a no-name POS on wheels with a DKNY-logo?

Actually most of those designer watches are made by one of three companies:
1) Casio
2) Fossil (the #2 watch manufacturer in the world)
3) Swatch (The #1 watch manufacturer in the world)

Here is a good tip[, don't buy a Rolex, get a Zenith (owned by LVMH) instead. Zenith has manufactured the internals for Rolex for decades (if I recall correctly), why bother wasting the extra dough when you can get the real deal for cheaper (theoretically)?
