It does look a nice watch - and in the grand scheme of things, if it's a decent well made piece of craftsmanship, then a monkey isn't completely out of order when you think that some people pay as much for a single watch as we get paid in a year.
That said, I am with Fox3 on this one. I normally wear a Tissot, but for ops I leave that at home and take a £10 casio digital job with me. Something I learnt very early on - never take anything on ops you wouldn't mind breaking, losing, having pinched or in extremis bartering with.
