What time do you wear?

I fully understand the appeal. Its a matter of beliefs and values to me.
My excuse , come Judgement Day, for my paltry audio system will be it bolstered my Christian beliefs through Bach Cantatas etc etc.
I can't think of one that would excuse me laying out the cash for the Omega I would like, instead giving to the Child Funds, Doctors without Borders etc needs.
YMMV of course.

And oh Roxy, since both audio and fine watches both cost money. it seems an apt comparison to me.

Schubert,
Yes, they are both unecessary luxuries which cost money, but that is not how you framed the comparison in your original comment.

Not so, "don't know what time it is' is a common phrase meaning
you don't know whats important.

I think a system to play Bach Cantatas is VERY necessary and anything more than a Seiko is not.
My current system cost about 8k , I could have achieved what was required for 2k so I'm as guilty as anyone else. perhaps
more than most 'cus I know better. Not to mention the other many K's I've spent over the last 40 0dd years.
