I too will someday own a Rolex, Probably a classic from the 60's. I've seen them sell online for around 1000. I have two nice replicas right now. I don't wear a watch much anymore but I love them. I had a really nice 500 dollar Esquire watch and it got lost or stolen so I'll stick to cheaper fakes I guess.

My watch gets too beat up to even bother having a nice one

A Rolex is on my wish list. I don't know that I'll ever have one.

My favorite watch is a Movado. I couldn't justify the hefty hefty price tag either.

I'm glad Fossil made a knock-off and I was able to get it for 1/12th the price

I never wear a watch anymore and have no desire to ever own a rolex.

I don't wear a wrist watch, but do have a pocket watch. It's some off brand but it keeps accurate time and serves it's purpose well. It has 'Dad' on the cover and was given to me by my daughter 5 years ago. It didn't cost a lot and is far from being a status symbol, but to me it is priceless.

I like my Timex Ironman watch - it has a purple silicone band - kinda like the purple crux watch - but I like digital - kinda picky when it comes to watches - has to be easy to read and it has to have a date on it. I have a nice bulova watch that I wear to work. I do end up scratching the crystal so I won't buy an expensive watch ever. I even managed to scratch a sapphire crystal
