While I'm not into big fancy expensive watches I do like the Casio g shocks and will buy a decent heavy duty one for work in the next month or so

 

[Power Raid]

I just can't understand why blokes spend thousands on a watch.

I'm happy with my $90 quicksilver one with silicone band.

I look at it and it tells me the time. Good watch.View attachment 324494

I followed suit and went with a rubber band as well

but at the end of the day, watches are quite personal items. so why not wear what you enjoy

true.

I've got a $200 pair of sun glasses I like wearing but I've got mates who earn big money but are content wearing $20 servo sunnies.

Each to their own.

most people that say they can't understand/wouldn't wear a watch worth thousands are hypocrites, drive around in cars worth 40,50,60,100 thousand etc, when they don't need to, they could catch a bus or buy a 5000 perfectly reliable car.

Years ago (like 20 odd) I spent some ridiculous amount on a pair of Oakleys. Not long after I was at a BBQ in Kings Park and joined in a game of kick to kick. I thought I'd put my new sunnies in my shirt pocket in case they fall off my face and get trodden on or something. Ball comes in and I take a chest mark without thinking - smash. Gawn. It's been tinted safety glasses from work and el cheapo cheapos ever since. Never again.

mustve bought fake oakleys.I have many oakley sunnies and have done a lot worse than take a chest mark, and never broken any. Popped the odd lens, but that's about it.

I bought a pair of Oakley whiskers I think they are called, best $140 I've spent. Only replaced one set of lenses a couple of years ago for $50 from the sunglass fix mob.

edit - the old man actually sat on them once and just had to carefully bend them back into shape.

A bloke on here was once complaining about how he simply couldn't afford $50 a month for foxtel for the preseason comp, then later in the thread admits to be paying off 2 near new cars and an 800k mortgage. Geez pal do you think you might have overextended yourself??

Once you break or lose a good pair of sunnies, you just have to get a new pair and move on.

I can never go back to cheap-o sunglasses. It's just ingrained into my brain now to look after them and know exactly where they are 24/7..even when blind rotten drunk.

 

[Shane Hird]

The old bolle safety glasses.

For years I worked at a joint where you could pinch a new pair every week...but then I started working for myself 5 years ago and justified the $200 plus it costs to buy a decent pair of arnettes.

Once you go there you can never go back to safety glasses

 

[The Dice Man]

Arnettes.. Bolle.. have I stepped into some kind of bogan timewarp?

yeah you can't compare

i've got serengetis too and polarised and it's just insane how good they are compared to even decent sunnies, let alone cheapos
