I don't thtink there is anything wrong with buying anything on credit, if it's interest free and not more than the cash price would be, it's just like saving-up but you have the thing at the start not the end.

Credit + interest should be avoided at all costs though IMO

I didn't mean it as a bad thing but in most cases I find it hard to believe someone paid in cash there and then for an item especially on here apart from in mitigating circumstances. I could go out today to a shopping centre a hundred yards from my work to buy a tag/rolex on credit. Does that then make me instantaniously a big hitter? I would prob personally feel more of a mug.

It`s high end for me and my salary/world. Btw plenty of Roley`s cost less than what I have. Again, I wank over the design and utilitarism of it. I wouldn`t want a gold/blue Rolex unless I could sell it, it has no wank value to me, its just an ugly, over the top piece of shit.

Have one of these boxed away. Reckon in 100 years it will be worth something.
According to the antiques road show, anything that is indicative or unique to a certain short period of time (90's) are the antiques of the
future. Hold on to your g-shocks, michael lau figures etc.
