: Just to update, I eventually chickened out with
: the Seamaster and purchased a smart Tissot
: chronograph at 1/5 the cost. It's well made
: enough to see me right through uni and
: beyond, sharing its presence on my wrist
: with a Seiko Kinetic.

: The Seamaster has become something I will work
you shoud've bought the watch or just didn't buy anything at all. tissot is a waste of money. you should've just purchased a casio or a timex. good luck with your studies.

: towards and if I end up with a half decent
: job I will be able reward myself with it as
: well as the Panerai and Patek that are eons
: beyond my current reach.

: It's gonna get smacked and hammered around with
: my lifestyle and I don't want to end up with
: a piece of bent metal that originally
: hammered the crap out of my wallet. Despite
: their superlative quality, fine watches
: still need caring for.

: What's a 19 yr old doing with an Omega anyway?
: It may sound a little elitist - in the vain
: of the posting by Miroslav (whom I strongly
: disagree with, and who views money purely as
: paper and metal) - but isn't a fine watch
: the sign of a guy who's 'made it'. I'm all
: for the idea that anyone can do what they
: want with their money, and anyone can own a
: fine watch, but I just thought it a little
: inappropriate in my position. With an Omega
: on my wrist I felt I would always ask the
: question, 'couldn't that money have been
: better spent', especially predicting the
: skinny wallet years to come, despite my love
: of Omegas, Panerais and Pateks.
