Next time I'm drunkposting I'll try to remember to argue the exact opposite of what I said last night. I don't give a fuck either way but I get chatty when I drink and it was interesting to babble about.Grimmlokk, thanks for explaining why the watch is a low utility jewelry. I don't think anyone got that part
Could you perhaps elaborate on the initial questions regarding meetings, watch vs phone? Here, just for you

Why are people slagging Izo over a fake, cheap watch? Hell, even the real ones are shit.
Red herring and all that.

It's funny in our office the only people you see do this are the really shitty interns. They come in with Dunkin Donuts bags 15 minutes late, make a ton of noise, then look at their phones all meeting.

Just bought a refurbished Dell Latitude E4310 for ~300$ with 1.5 years of NBD warranty. i5-520, 4gb ddr3, 250gb hdd, 13.3" @ 1366x768. I know the resolution sucks but an i5 in that form factor for 300$ was hard to say no to. Gonna drop my old ssd in it and grab a hdd caddy thingie to move the hard drive in the cd-rom bay.

Great watch. Friend has one similar with an ivory face (fuck elephants) and a rose gold case. I still haven't got a nice dress watch - I've been rocking an Omega Seamaster and an old Hamilton of my dads on and off.... but need something a little more businessy. How much did it set you back? $7-10k?I got a really nice father's day gift from the wife.
It retails for just under 10k (new), I get 20% off through my usual jewelry/watch AD. The rose gold version is really beautiful, but too rich for my blood (I think it was 18k). I would normally buy used, but this model is less than 2 years old and very difficult to find one except online, which I don't buy.
I am a big fan of Omega seamaster for water sports/fishing/diving, but I think the Orient Mako is also superb value. I also am a fan of the speedmaster professional (manual wind) with the hesalite crystal.

Meh, 7 - 10k isn't a lot to some people. Who cares?
I had to pick up a new pair of shoes yesterday as my old ones finally kicked the bucket. Loved em so much I just ended up replacing them with the same shoes.

A $10k watch will only be impressive to other pompous douchebags. Most people will have any idea that it costs that much and any normal person who does recognize the watch will just think you're a douche bag.
That said, looking at your cell phone is a terrible way to tell time. Wear a watch for a couple weeks and you will realize what a hassle it is to drag your phone out of your pocket and turning it on vs. just glancing at your wrist. When you wear a watch you always know what time it is.
