I remain amused by the concept of multi-thousand pound divers which will never be dived with, and things of that ilk. Or $6k GShocks, for that matter.
Sure, pay good money for a good tool watch. But to then baby it and not use it as a tool? It's just commodity culture where the perceived value of the thing is far more than its actual use value. That's fine, it is what it is. But it seems a bit anathema to the idea of a tool watch, specifically.
