sometimes it feels like it...
I kinda like it, but it is too outre for me to wear generally - I really need to be in the mood. 
This one http://www.watchismo.com/the-bradley-black-mesh.aspx[^] is my current go to watch. I wear it all the time, just see someone look at my wrist to figure out what time it is...

I like that. I never wear a watch, but that looks nice and clean. Though I think maybe I'd want the "hands" reversed.
If I recall correctly, my mother had a grandfather who was blind -- he removed the glass from his pocket watch so he could feel the hands.

I like watches. There, I said it. So sometimes I'll go check out the manufacturers sites and see what is about. I also quite like Seiko watches - reliable and tough but not too expensive.
Not the sort of watch I like but... Grand Seiko SBGJ007 [^]
Without going to the Seiko site, how much do you think that watch is?

I know what you mean: I have a Seiko Titanium 7T32[^] which has got to be 25 years old now. I've replaced the batteries numerous times, the "o" ring once, and the locking catch on the strap once.
It's not had an easy life, but...it works perfectly, and one small scratch on the crystal.
Yes, it cost a "reasonable" amount - a few hundred pounds IIRC - but it'll still be working when the hipster's iWatch has been through FleaBay a couple of times!
And the best bit? It doesn't run out of battery every 23 hours...
The Grand Seiko price? Dunno - but I'm betting it's out of my price range! Is it more or less than a good Rolex?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I didn't know there were any bad Rolexes! 
Mind you, if you want something a touch original... Bamford [^]
I have an old Seiko Kinetic (one of the early models) and it still works if I give it a good shaking.

Ok: I get it and NO! That is repugnant! I much prefer understated.

Amen to that, Brother!

Meh. I've been wristwatch-free for twenty years or more. As a fan of calculator watches, they kind of marked me as a nerd (which I am), so I used to keep mine in my pocket.

I would say about $5000...

Given I can only see the face it could be $20 to $200.

I have a love/hate relationship with watches.
I love watch designs, but I hate wearing one.
I've always wanted to have a Tissot Touch or a Movado (the new Edge is really nice).
But my wet dream would be to have a Bell & Ross[^] watch, not the big huge "aviator" watches, but one of the "vintage" ones.

Waaaaay too much information!
Good watches but they look a little odd to me: a watch should be round, not square!

A bit out of my price range at roughly $20K, I believe...

So said I.
Then I read it is a step down from the 1520 I already have.

In what way is it a step down?
