Right now I have an old ESQ that I'm using until I buy a new watch. If I have to wait until next summer/fall to buy a nice watch (e.g. Tag), I don't think I can handle wearing this ESQ until then... hehe.



yeah, that's true... and I agree with you when it comes to most things. But, $2k+ is a lot for a watch, imo.
it is a lot, but if you want something that's going to last. Automatic watches don't take batteries, and if maintained well, you'll still be wearing it when you're 65. I can't say the same thing for the Burberry.

I could be wrong though.
Also, you can't be a Doctor and wear cheap watches

I do see where you're coming from however. Both would be fine choices, but I can see you replacing the Burberry in about 2 years once the battery dies and annoys you.
