I don't understand high-end wristwatches

Then he is best away from the snotty-nosed materialist little b*tch If it is true of course, and not his excuse

i think you just hit the nail right on the head.

High end watches make sense as jewelry but what I don't get are the high end cellphones. There are some jewelers selling phones where the plastic case has been replaced by gold or other such stuff. I can't help but laugh at the idiot who spend tens of thousands on an item which has such a short life span as a cell phone.

So you can buy something sensible and useful for someone you love?

I spent 80 bucks on my watch, because I need a watch when I am out. I hate using my cell as a clock (hate phones in general), and it is so much easier simply looking at your wrist to know the time.

That said, I don't think I would spend more than say 120 on a watch.

Of course its a status symbol- why else would anyone get any personal fashion accessorie at the high end? Why would anyone get a $2000 suit, or a $500 Shirt, or a $300 tie?

Quality perhaps, or longevity of a product. Some expensive items you can't even tell it's expensive if you're not an expert and people buy such things to.
