That first sentence was a quote, forget who that that about a good time.

Watches, like art, have classes. A 1k piece is like comparing "art" on the wall at mcdonalds to something in a French gallery. Might "look" ok but it's just not in the same league. As pretentious as it may be


*** the guy that said " a Rolex on your wrist won't lower your lap times... Well your half right, a lot of guys I've raced against wear 70grand+ pieces and a HEAVY HITTER watch can lower your lap times. As a racer myself, having a serious watch helps relax and focus you mentally which is a lot of the game. When you line up on the grid with pole, and have a fucking Richard Mille under your glove you feel like a man on the moon.... Tell me that's not a mental plus
If you were a die hard watch snob you would appreciate even G-Shocks, I know a few watch collectors (yes they have their Frank Mullers, Patek Philippes and Cartiers as well) but still wear G Shocks or Siekos once in a while to switch things up. They appreciate those as well. You just seem like you're after the price tag. Unless you can tell me what makes a 2.5k watch better then a 1k watch?

On another note, I don't think Sebastien Loeb needs a watch to relax him before a race.

He did win 9 WRC titles without a Richard Mille
