Poll of the Day > I wish Luxury items came with an option without the fancy packaging.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am sure the cost would be a lot less without them.

I am into a few art mediums and a lot of the "complete range" sets all come in either lather or wooden boxes. I don't need those, I just need the _____. And my Omega watches come in this huge wooden box, again, don't need the hardwood box.

I know the cost of those "extras" varies but thats money that could be going towards more stuff.

the fancy box is advertising. it would be more expensive in a normal box

---

because fancy little felt and treasurable inlays and that kind of cardboard that is like charcoal John wick black and feels weirdly smooth

but its the same crap

Well.... Considering every time I bought a watch the clerk had to go in back to either get one wrapped one or the box for the one on display I find that not to be true.

I have 6 Omegas.

I picked up one of the LE Glycine Airfighters a while back. It came in a pretty basic box. I was a bit surprised considering it has a nearly $10,000 MSRP.

Owning an Omega like yours though is something I wanna do at some point, yeah. They make great watches that look good but are actually a value for the most part.

Yeah I started with one as a heirloom for my kids. I grew up poor and don't have anything from the family members I lost. I didn't want that for my kids, so I got a watch... and then its turning into a collection.

Pretty sure you are trolling considering its the watch of NASA, most USA military forces, Olympics, and a few others.

Raise of hands for whoever here thinks this is common knowledge.

I've never heard of these watches either

I've heard of Timex

omega watches are fancy.

the speedmaster professional was the watch used in the moon missions.

they are a fancy watch brand. they make a lot of diving watches as well as one with a helium escape valve, too.

I used to have a Jurassic park watch with a raptor hologram

it came from Taco Bell
