I like them, lol. Sure the band is just silicone, but the watch faces are nice, and part of the money goes to non-profits!

Well it's nice that it goes to non-profits. As long as you like the watches, that's all that matters. Not the worst watch I've ever seen. I've seen people spend a lot of money on some really expensive watches that were butt-ugly.

Like Rolexes! I think rolexes are ugly. But that's because I don't like "Iced" watches, and I just don't like Gold, I like white gold and silver.

Rolexes are status symbols. Like a Porsche. More of a statement. Like, "I have a lot of money to spend on an overpriced status symbol."

Well they should stop wasting their money on those symbols, and use it for the symbols of Crux that says "I use the money I have for a good reason."

If we all liked the same things, did the same things, and collected the same things, life and this world will be very boring. Owning a Rolex is an investment similar to a lot of classic cars. They increase in value the longer you own it. For a working man owning a Rolex is an accomplishment. I hope to own one some day. I like the Presidential model. I think it is a sharp looking watch. At this point in my life I can't justify 13,000 dollars on a watch.
