I'm not a watch snob, I like nice things that speak to me and I like stuff that isn't cookie cutter. I sold my 911 because you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one, I bought my Z4MC because I love the thing, and I love that it's unique.
If you want to buy a watch, buy one that speaks to you, not one that will speak to other people. If that's a G-Sport or Timex Ironman than so be it.

It's very rare that a non-watch person spots an expensive watch (unless you are in your trunks with just your gold chain and watch
)
The expensive watches I've bought swmbo have been based on looks/style/movement rather than brand.
