BR(I cannot imagine why anyone would pay significant money (meaning in BRC cheapskate world: more than two digits) for a watch, or sunglasses (or a lot of other things, but, given my complete inability to not lose or sit on those two items, they particularly baffle me). The best watches the Mr. and my father ever had, per them, were fake rolexes purchased in Kuala Lumpur and South-Central LA respectively. My father's lasted for 30 years and kept excellent time. The Mr.'s stepfather crammed his real rolex in a drawer and stole the Mr.'s fake because the $15,000 watch was a POS. Grand fountain pens make about as much sense to me as expensive watches, but no one claims any sort of superior utility justification for fountain pens.)C

I tend to agree with this, although I'd creep into the lower three digits, which can mean a signifigant upgrade in the materials of the case/band. Battery powered quartz movements keep better time than a mechanical watch by several orders of magnitude.
