I think that's true. I know that if I see a man with a nice watch it tells me something about him, granted it's not always true but it's a start. I like to see that a man knows how to take care of himself and is motivated to have money like I am, otherwise things just won't work. Kind of like how I broke up with my ex because he was never motivated to work hard and have nice things. A nice watch tells me this guy has some sense.
What about a guy smart enough to save his money, rather than pissing it away on an ancient timepiece?

I have clocks all over the place, I have a PDA, I have an iPod, and I have enough computers to educate a small country, so I'm never really wondering what time it is. Consequently, I have no use for a wristwatch.

The idea of spending $4000 or even $400 on a watch just makes me go . That's like 15 nights of "entertainment".. movies, plays, dinner.. things which bring me much more joy than bling on my wrist. I'd never look at it anyway, pulling out my cell/PDA for time is habitual.

I think I view guys with $4000 watches like I view women who HAVE to have only Gucci/Prada; they're either spoiled, stupid, or in massive debt living a "fab" life.
