Personally I have enough money to buy a $10.000 watch but I find it rather boring. Instead of "being stuck" with one beautiful watch that I certainly would get bored with within a couple of months, I can get ten or more high quallity replica watches that are just as beautiful and with almost the same feel and quallity.
I love watches but I rather spend my money on expensive cars (hard to get replicas there) than on expensive watches when I can get the same watch for a tenth of the money.
By the way, I owned a genuine Rolex Explorer II and I sold it. Boring.
