I'm probably one of the few on here who could justify dropping major coin on a timepeice, though my tastes to shy away from massive dials. I'm sceming on getting a vintage Jaeger right now... hopefully by Xmas. Being a mechanical nerd, I think the beuty of a watch is the movement and not the face:

I'm also into antiques.
Right now my coin is going into refurb's of a couple of century old family pocket watches: For those of you who take care of your time peices: http://www.ohiowatchrepair.com
It's in Cincinnati, but the guy is awsome and the service is great. He's also got a lift in his garage, with a GTO and a Chevelle. He's good people. Actually had to source a replacemnt jewel for one of my watches and didn't change his price for service, really likes to stick to his estimates.
If you buy a special watch, try to avoid things that your average rap afficiando would recognize, like Rolex and Tag. Longines is a good kind of entry-level fine timepeice with subtle styling, look around ebay.
Except the Patek will cost more than both combined.
