Today I realized that I suffer from watch snobbery. While at the mall, I passed several jewelry stores and while in the past I would spend time staring at all the different Citizen, Seiko, Movados and such.... not anymore. Just a quick glance at their inventory and I'm on my way. I cant even enjoy the cheap bargains anymore. I blame most of you for encouraging and promoting my hobby/habit!

I hear ya bro! I'm like that too - I just glance at the "cheaper" watches to see if there is anything individual in there, which isn't a clone of something more expensive (which a lot of them are). I also think that the Seiko and Citizens etc are overly fussy looking.... Most luxury ADs here don't sell the cheap stuff though. |

Unfortunately (fortunately?) this is what happens!  Most High Street stores don't even get a glance when I'm in town.  Although I did stop by one branch of Ernest Jones the other day as I noticed they started selling Ball watches and I'd never seen any in person. But 5 minutes later I was on my way again.......

Funny you are saying this as just yesterday my wife, son, his wife and I were at a large mall in the Chicago area. My son and I are both wearing "lings" and we did'nt even care what the jewelry stores had to offer. You would walk by and they would ask can I help you with anything......and always they would hear......No thank you.  .  .

Welcome to the club! It is symptomatic of quality in any aspect of life. I grew up with a very humble background and to my parents it was unheard of to buy brand name groceries rather than own brand products. As I became more successful I had a tough time dealing with the 'guilt' of spending so much on an item that did the same function as something for a fraction of the price - car, watch, clothes, whatever. However there came a point when I just figured out that I was only going to get one crack at this life (as far as I know) so I might as well enjoy it the best that I'm able. Clearly with watches I'm a snob now, but I'm not going to feel guilty about it

I am afraid I suffer from the "watch snob" sydrome also. I have Breitling and this forum to thank for it. I own two Rolex's but the Breitling Old Navitimer I now own gets the most wrist time. |

Well... i try to be open minded when visiting the local jewelers but i must say it's all quick glances, maybe a little bit longer with the Tags, nothing beats a Breitling for me and the only brand worthy of some well deserved drooling!!! |

It gets worse... there is a particular mall in town I just don't go to anymore because they don't have a breitling ad

Ya I can top that one In2Deep. Sometimes when I need clothes I drive an hour to a mall in Ann Arbor Michigan so I can pop in my AD and look at the lings. Forget that I have 3 malls within 20 minutes around here. |
