I've had my eyes on a Cayman S (not CayENNE) - with some mods I think this could be more fun than 997 [911] base.... :wink:

hahaha, simple, not my car! it's my dads.. I'm still a lowly student with huge tuition bills each year. Plus I enjoy collecting reps more so than the gens, though I have a good mix of both in my collection
OK, so i spent £24,000 on my Evo Lancer and it nearly cleared me out...and I still feel like a bum compared to most of these rides.
Bentley GT, Porche, Merc G500 etc..... I gotta get another job!
If you guys are earning this much, why the rep watches? I can understand if you earn enough for one or the other, but what would everyone choose?
Rep watch and top ride....or, cheap ride and gen watch. (those that can afford both shouldn't be in this community) :shock:

I can only speak to my situation....my wife happens to be a realtor in a vey exclusive county(Essex) here in the states...that was recently listed by Forbes mag. as the most expensive county to reside....in the entire U.S.A. and when acquiring new listings....a prospective home seller will much more likely to list their 1,000,000 dollar home with an agent driving a G500 than an agent driving a hyundai (no offense to hynundai drivers). We also received a 40% tax rightoff due to Uncle Sams crazy tax laws (not too bad for a 90,000 dollar truck).psymetry said:
I think that we all love watches... be it gen or rep but, when it comes down to it....very few will recognize you're watch but, almost everyone will recognize the car that you drive

I totally agree.... more people will turn their heads at a nice car than a nice wristwatch (although where I work watches are more visible than cars). I'm gonna start a new thread about this scenario as I don't want to diverse from the original post.

first, i like your car. i have never wanted a japanese car, ever! now that they make something fast and rwd and or awd they have my attention. i want a evo and a sti. now about the watches and the money. i stated in my post with my car the wheels and tires cost as much as a gen tt sub. they were $7000.00. can i afford a gen? absolutly. i have that car, a truck i drive to work, a 4000 sq ft house on a 5 acre estate and part ownership of a private airport ajoining the grounds. the trouble is i want all of these things and not 1 sub. i want all of these things and 25 different watches that cost anywhere from $4250.00 to $30,000.00 for gen and a new set of 20's for my wifes car. lol, now do you understand? lol!psymetry said:

I'm in the same boat. No point having a box full of gens but living in a box with nothing else.
There are more important things than watches. I asked the question to get some responses and it's worked.
A watch collection tops off the house, cars and good living. Unless you are blessed, I doubt if anyone has all this and a box of gens.

Well (1) an Evo is a GREAT ride in UK, ideal for B, C roads :twisted: (2) It's really hard to rep a Porsche, Bimmer or Merc ... but more seriously, my car can - and has - saved my life (great brakes, crazy lane-changes / changers in TX) - that's not true of watches ... unless you use for deeper dives (which I used to do).
So, that's where my money goes - and house - and market (not so good right now!)
