#2, but I also want it to have some style. I’m not interested in a watch with some numbers from Wally World. Though I probably should say I can usually find something for under $50 from Fossil that is stylish enough for me. I wouldn’t turn down a Rolex if someone gave it to me, but I’m not going to buy one.

Generally I don't wear a watch, just a Fitbit, so tool I suppose.

Always wanted a Breitling Old Navitimer II A13322, but wouldn't wear it enough to justify the cost.

#4 and 2.

Always loved Rolex and couldn't be happier since getting mine. They are timeless, a stable asset, beautiful, and are a symbol of success.

Been wearing it daily.

What matters to me is the story of each piece and why I bought it.

i dont own a rolex due to everyone thinking its the best watch out there. My watches are for me, my style - "stealth wealth"
