I don't go out drinking much, half of my mates will blow hundreds on booze and cabs and shit every weekend.. i just can't spare the cash, or the time when i'm written off for the entire day afterwards. i save a lot of the little money i do earn basically

oh and i won't get to 300rwkw (on 98 fuel at least).. so not in the club

[VSPECT]

I usually only go out once a week, and when I do I budget $50 max. Predrinks ftw.

And Kris isn't at 300kw either But I just say 250+ = 300 club

Seems pretty easy to hit around 320rwkw in an MR2. Everyone has been doing it lately.

gotta decide if I want this bad enough to be broke till next month :\

how much will that cost to do? when you doing it to yours?

[krzysiu]

Who wears watches these days? Let alone paying 6g for one

Well considering I'd need a forged rebuild too it's probably a bit out of my price range right now but if I waited a little while then I could afford it.

We'll see how it goes.. I might decide to record another album which means bye bye money

[VSPECT]

hahaha...fair enough....

ya who the hell pays 6gs for a bloddy watch...as long as you know the time who cares what you wearing...not that it gives out some extra features...

if you can afford it then go for it. but im still rockin my fossil one that i got for my 19th. been through 4 leather straps and on the second battery. hasnt skipped a beat and i still get people randomly go "nice watch dude"

[krzysiu]

Black guy with a nice watch gets people thinking whether it's stolen or fake

[VSPECT]

hahaha...atleast you can see his hand in the dark since the watch is so shiny

i'm all for being a brand slut... but 6k is excessive. You could get Armani et al for a fraction of that

lol @ armani watch. way to fag it up. If you're gonna wear an armani watch you might as well go ahead and buy a Swatch watch.

I've got a IWC I bought with my first company bonus (bought it off the CEO ) and a Patek Phillipe my dad gave me. In the watch world Cartier is kinda mainstream, cos they started out as a jeweler and not a watchmaker. I don't wanna keep wearing a 10k IWC everyday, so the Cartier is to take over casual duties.

when you're working in teh corporate world a good watch says more about you than you can ever hope to get across in a conversation, and can be the difference between sealing a deal or a promotion or calling the shots in a negotiation and slumming it. Its an investment in your career and social life, and doesn't depreciate as much as a car, nor get you labeled as a hoon etc. Hell if you buy the right watch it'll even go up in value.

I don't need to buy it, but I'm gettin in while the exchange rate is good cos I stand to save about $4000. More if I can convince one of the publicists to pick it up and wear it on the way back, so I save on taxes.

[HEKT1K]

i don't know shit about watches. i am sceptical of the extent of influence they have in 'teh corporate world' though.

i just look at the sun to determine the time, like a boss.

EDIT: If it's such a bargain, do it. Crafty work getting some watch mule to wear it on the way back haha

[funkymonkey]

meh, some people like blowing money on 300kw. some people enjoy knowing that they have what it costs to get 300kw around their wrist.

[jezza boii]

I have the costs of 300rwkw in the format of audio on a CD F*ck that sounds lame.

[VSPECT]

lol....spending that much amount on a watch is still insane...

[HEKT1K]

It's just that checking the time is a slightly more mundane exercise than going for a spirited drive in a high powered car

nb. i will probably still splurge on a nice watch when i graduate
