always car posts, how about a watch?

[chisness]

i'm content with my '98 corolla for at least a couple more years, but would like to get a nice watch with some winnings.

i'm considering the following but am open to any suggestions:

just watched I Heart Huckabees. Damn it was messed up.

That first one is way too blingin'. The other two are nice.

I have this one. It was like $500 and it's nice enough.

I've been thinking about a watch too, I want something better than basic but probably not a Rolex.

i'd look at tag, omega, or breitling.

youre in college. you drive a corolla. you want a ~$2900 watch?

my suggestion is to be more realistic w/ your money. i just blue booked your car and it clocks in at $3,475 w/ some reasonable estimates on my part.

just spend a few hundred on watch and don't have your friends make fun of you behind your back.

PS also if you have any credit card debt the money should go there first before youre talking about dropping 3G on a watch too. that's a no-brainer.

EDIT: PPS and im not advocating spending more on a car either. just be responsible. you dont need to go wave your money around and kill yourself and act like you have it. the harder you try usually means the less you have.

bwana,

i appreciate your concern and admit that a cheaper watch is most practical. my logic is that i can still make the most out of a car, while a watch can last forever.

i also admit that i'm spending more than necessary, but am certainly not in debt and wouldn't consider putting myself near debt for a luxury.

the part you mention about the harder you try usually means the less you have is also quite true. sounds like you've been reading some finance books! my plan is to buy this luxury then save literally all of the rest of my money during college, so i don't think i'm going too overboard.

the first one is the most vulgar and ugly thing ive seen in a while. and duh, rolexs are nice.

if i saw someone get out of a 98 corolla and had a rolex on, i would definitely think it was really weird.
