Im the opposite... The more expensive the item, the better care i take of it...

I've had the same pair of oakleys for 4 years now and their still in like-new condition....

Remember the ID of the seller? I've never been keen on buying watches from ebay, but might consider it if i knew a reputable dealer...

I don't remember the ID but I think he is an unregistered user on ebay now. I just bought from someone with decent feedback.

The second one you posted is nice.

I've had my swiss army watch for 3 years now. It's a very worthwhile investment. I have This one (except of saying "Wenger" it says "Swiss Military" and there is no day name (i.e. wed), just the date)

d00d... I have the exact same watch.

Whoa...me too.

My cell phone is my watch, but if I were to buy one, I think it would be one of those atomic clock ones.
