Exactly! I'm of the same opinion...I don't think I've ever paid more than $100 for a watch. The idea of spending more on a watch that I ever have on a car (I've never paid more than $2000 for a car) is absurd.
It's funny that in an age of miniaturization and high technology, the most expensive watches are using 60 year old technology and are huge paperweights. Most of them are flashy and gaudy. If I wanted a watch that was the ultimate statement of the modern age, it would be VERY small, unbelivably thin and have no moving parts...I wouldn't want an LCD display, but the idea of a watch that looks as if it has mechanical hands without having any moving parts is a neat idea.
As it is, I want watches made before or during WWII...none of the 'watch fiends' on the other forums I visit can understand this.
