There's a big difference between a classic motorsport inspired quality watch (Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Daytona etc.) and a cheap quartz watch plastered in sponsor's logos. I have a 21 year old Rolex GMT (airline inspired not motorsport), I wear it everyday, it gives me pleasure and has doubled in value in three years (it also keeps excellent time). There seems to be people sneering at those who like to wear an expensive watch, yet who no doubt own and drive "silly" cars (I do also), perhaps they should all drive sensible Ford Fiestas.
