I can't say I would... but I can totally see that some people would. Think of it more in terms of a test drive for the newly rich. Or maybe it's like the rented Ferraris I watched get perfectly placed next to a hotel so that the wedding video could include all of the guests jumping up and down "dancing" like it was some kind of music video. Or even... if you're about to interview for some serious new C-level role in NYC where you're already expected to have a $40k time-telling-bracelet to be in the club. Dunno.... renting high end watches isn't really for me... but maybe for some. I'll admit to wearing a watch for vanity. I just choose plastic Swiss timepieces that are goofy. Maybe I never really left the fifth grade in terms of my watch choices.

now you're just trying to turn me on... The older Swatch Automatics are beautiful. The new System51's seem too.... thick... thick like Apple Watch thick. This guy (mine not pictured) was my JAM until the casing broke making it unable to accept new bands.
They’re definitely glued together... and people paying that much for a swatch... well let’s just say most swatches don’t sell for that. There are a select few that are collectible for some reason - but for he most part can be had between $20 and $250. And I’d stack most of th $250 ones up against any other watch in that price range.
Porsche does it. Apparently it works. Granted, a car (even a Porsche) is a depreciating asset so you can see the justification for just taking the amortization on it. Although for four years at $2k a month you could damn near buy a 911...
