Well to explain the point in simple terms for those that don't understand many of the cynicle posts, the issue isn't about the watch. I have several high end watches, however none of them would I associate specifically with flying. Apart from some marketing BS, the concept of a 'pilot watch' is a fallacy.
Buy a watch because you like a watch, but when you are in the air I shouldn't imagine you will have a second thought about what is on your arm...

Nothing wrong with expensive toys. But buy them because you want them, because it gives you pleasure using them, or just pleasure in owning them.

But to say you just need that expensive pilot watch as a pilot? Well, if that's the mental process you go through to justify to yourself spending the money - fine.
