Puts how important a stupid watch is in persepective dont it?

Im not flaming but, honestly why do you NEED a 4 grand watch? What does it do that other 20 dollar watches at walmart dont do?

not hating, but its like us and bimmers, Why'd you buy the bimmer instead of the Yugo? they both get you there eventually....

true, but one gets u there quickly and in style. Plus on is German, and u gotta love the German factor.

But i do love the look of that watch, dont get me wrong id love to own one. Im sure harry will totally enjoy it.But i dont have the money or to shell out $2000-4000 for a watch, if harry does (and as we can tell he does) whatever watch he buys im sure he'll enjoy it. But personally i rather put the money towards my car.

**Chris** · 06-29-2005, 09:19 PM

exactly... you buy it for style.... and because its a BIMMER (not directed towards, you just making my point for those who don't get it)

i love the watch BTW

**bmw4life** · 06-29-2005, 09:24 PM

I actually don't really like it. It's to plain for me.

**TerryY** · 06-29-2005, 11:28 PM

Sigh. Timex for me. I splurged and spent $35 for the one I am wearing now. Paid $25 for the last one and it only lasted about 6 years

The bezel was beaten off in use along with the stopwatch button.

But then I live in a daily world where my cell phone I wear on my belt was worn thru to the bare plastic and the metal bits are dented and deeply scratched within 6 months. Woven Bands last only a year or two.

I suppose that you could say that I drive my fancy watch

and I wouldn't have it any other way

I enjoy doing what I do too much to change.

Ha, what do you do again for your career?

**94bmw325i** · 06-29-2005, 11:51 PM

I never wear my watch haha, I have a blue timex expedition, was about 35 bucks a few years ago.

Harry
I PLAY at Industrial troubleshooter AKA Process Engineer in a Large scale Ceramics manufacturing plant.

From 3' wide x 10' long ceramic beams flat to 80 millionths of an inch. "Fit in your hand" linear actuator coil water cooling parts. Ceramic Spacebound Optical Mirrors in eventually 2 to 3 meter diameters are the big thing now.

I fix the manufacturing processes that don't work and guide new and strange products into unknown manufacturing territory.

I think they call most of it "Making it up as I go along"

Thus I am so prone to destroy little electronic toys too that my Palm is so full of dust that the on/off switch stopped working

I tried the Software and Hardware career bits too but they lacked something in adrenaline generation.
Except of course for that last 15 minutes of remaining Pre-Release time when you actually had something to test and debug

Strangling lazy/bad programmers was unfortunately not a vialble option

Network administration (Novell and MS) was boring as hell to me and Desktop had too many "Users" must be nice

So there you have it in a Shopping Cart (nutshell was too small

Nice.

Something a bit unusual. Sounds like you enjoy it, which is the important thing.
