And I thought it was always about the watch. Thanks Porsche, I will remember you when I can afford you.
Corolla vs any Lexus....or vs Mustang R? Both will get you to the grocery.
Horology isn't limited to 6 figure sums. Some of the coolest pieces can be had for $1500 or less. Would you rather have 10 $50 throwaway when the batteries dead Timex's in your life or one $500 Seiko Turtle (Prospex SRPE93) that will last you a lifetime and be an treasured heirloom for a future generation.
Beauty of this hobby isn't to buy the most expensive piece and just flex, but to wear a mechanical item on your wrist engineered with precision that keeps time and also can be a reflection of your personality and passion. Sort of like how in this car hobby of ours there's people who buy a bright orange lambo just to rev battle in a walmart parking lot but can't tell you where the hood release is, and there's people who have lovingly restored a 1985 5.0 Capri but in the style of an ASC McLaren tribute. I know which one I'd want to talk to at parties from seeing that point alone, just like if someones wearing a rose gold Richard Mille skeleton vs the guy wearing a Autavia Jo Siffert.
Missed out on the Tissot Chronograph back in March but these two are catching my eye and trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on one....but which one. Went to Sherway Gardens today but they didn't have the IWC in the store unfortunately - it's a 45mm but it seems the IWC sizes "wear larger" than other brands I'm familiar with.

IWC wins hands down for me. Zenith has a good history but that one screams knock-off Audemars/modded G-Shock to me.
Yeah, you're right about the Zenith looking too much like AP - was looking at it because I don't have a sport watch (mostly leather strapped watches) and the IWC comes with leather strap although the Milanese in the photo looks good. IWC is an 8-day manual wind IWC movement and Zenith is an El Primero automatic movement, although the IWC is on the pricey side for a manual wind movement.
