Rich, who writes for the Pioneer Loan Center blog, has just put up a number of very nice watches on their Pawnshop website.
Aside from the fact, that he needs to quit being lazy, and set up that Nikon D70, properly, so the pictures are more consistant, the site looks a little better, everytime he works on it.
The watches are nice, used watches, with some exceptional values, assuming of course, you have the six large, for the Piaget, he’s whining about.
The funny part is, if he had that much loose change, he’d buy the watch and never wear it, he’s strictly a blue jeans kind of guy.
In fact, he’s firmly convinced, that neckties, were invented by some woman, who was pissed at her husband. I agree.
On the subject of watches, if you hang out at poker tournaments, or in the fancy casinos, about all you see, are Rolex Presidents, including some in the $100k range. Which begs the question, why would you pay that kind of money, for a watch?
If it’s ego, take a look around, it seems like everybody has one, so you’re no longer special, and if theirs is fake, unless it’s a really bad fake, you’ll never know.
A $100k watch, is like having a 200mph Lamborgini, and being stuck in the 2mph traffic going back to L.A., it may be pretty, but it’s not very practical.
