Cp44 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 My future mother in law wants to give me a wedding gift, she said i can choose between a nice watch or a big screen TV. I think the answer is pretty obvious, cough cough tv cough cough. Just want to know what you guys think? I really dont wear watches unless its a special occasion but I never had a nice one. I can get a nice Breitling, Rolex, Tag Heur etc.... It would be nice just to own one but I dont think I would use it as much. I already have a 55" DLP TV 720p in my room, I dont watch as much TV as I use to or play video games. Then again my family will be able to enjoy it as well. Suggestions?

Chreees Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 TV, hands down. Then go out and buy yourself a nice Fossil for ~$70. I've had my retro-style Fossil for over four years now, wear it everyday, and love it. 11 year warranty covers everything.If I had an expensive Rolex or something, I'd never wear it for fear of damaging it.

Click Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 i really don't see the point in a watch anymore besides for style. +1 for the tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPendulous Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 TV!!....unless you can watch TV on your watch then you need to work in the portable factor..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 tv for sure. a watch is a watch, whereas a dinky lil tv sure ain't a big screen hd affair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitetimeReign Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Wow this one has me stumped cause I would take a Rolex in a heartbeat. But the big screens are very sweet as well. If you do go with the TV try for 1080p I think it makes a difference and yeah I have owned both 720 and 1080. Also if it's the TV, if you get to pick, get one with a 120 or higher hz refresh rate, nicer once again. But then I jump back to pretty much everyone has a big screen since they came down in price so much. The same can't be said about a Rolex however, at least not a real one that isn't a knock off.. WOW glad I'm not you on this decision CP...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I have a 5k Rolex that I inherited from my father when he passed away. I never wear it.

You can only tell a difference in resolution on the bigger screen TVs... that's when you want the 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cp44 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 so it looks like the TV is the winner. Thats what I was leaning towards, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Nice. Yeah man any of those brands will be good... and those are some hella good specs to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 personally I'd take the TV... unless you just like watches. a few of my boys are into watches, getting breitlings and rolexes and shit.. but i destroy watches so for me theres no point having a 3-5k watch that i will wear only on special occasions..

Tom1 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Take the watch and sell it for 5x as much as any TV she could buy you. Then buy a replica for probably 1/5th the actual price of the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
