What time is it? Watches and horology

From this thread I've been linked to a video informing me that alongside a dress watch and a sports watch I must also own an industrially inspired watch for when I work on the car, and an article imploring me to wear an expensive watch at the weekend because when dressed in understated civvies it will be the only way to impress on others my income bracket.

Don't know about you, but when I get under my 8 year old ford focus to slip spanners and shear bolts I always like to ensure I've got 15k worth of stainless strapped to my wrist. I also can not bear the thought that I might meet someone and fail to leave them with no doubt in their mind that I have the spending power to do a full week's groceries in Lidl.

Funnily enough, when I've been asked if I wear my Speedmaster when riding bikes, motorcycles, doing DIY, working on bikes, rocking out, etc and my reply has always been, 'sure, why not? It's a good watch.'

You're the one wanting to drop hundreds of pounds on a worthless quartz POS because you are seduced by the design, not me. I just wanted a really good watch.
