Wasting money on expensive items

[Alan Harper's Tash]

But so can a car and a house. Looking at recent crime stats, just walking along a street makes you a target for robbery. Students for their bank cards or a teenager for his phone. A watch doesn't make you more vulnerable.

Absolutely, but cars and houses have other uses. Watches became “obsolete” when everyone got a phone with the time on the home screen.

I've got no money to spend but if I did I would buy a couple of AA batteries for the smoke detector, a can of ant killing spray, a tube of white, outdoor silicone and some unleaded for the lawn mower

Do you believe that a person can do what ever he likes with his money ? (As long as it is legal and doesn't hurt other people. )

Absolutely.

I also don’t think that they should be robbed because they have an expensive watch.

They are more likely to be (if they ever actually wear it) though.

Most of us don’t wear spats, tail coats and capes.

Apart from Jacob Rees-Mogg

Shock horror but there's more to horology than telling the time.

My Uncle was a wonderful man who built a business from nothing with his kids over 25 years. His passion was watches.

When he died his kids found about 20 watches he had bought over his life - all with documentation. Everyone of them had gone up in value. They inherited about 6 Rolex's each, some to his grandson. Me and my brother got a watch (not Rolex's) each that at the time were £1k, now about £2.5k.

Time is valuable

This really is a nasty little thread. A lot of petty, jealous people about isn't there.

Indeed. That’s what smartwatches are for.

A good example of how gullible the high art world can be.
