take a midol and a deep breath, dude.
Dude, you're making an ass of yourself...i suggest that you move on. And this is me being very kind.
How kind you think you are or are not being is completely irrelevant to me. Behave however you choose to behave. Your behavior reflects upon you and no one else. You will learn this as you mature.
Use more exclamation points.
I do like what you wrote about your cherished Seiko above...all it takes is a new movement, new crystal, and new bezel! Dude, that is the whole freaking watch!
My cherished Seiko does not need anything but a new $10 battery every 5-6 years. It has been on my wrist (almost) every single day for 25 years. It still keeps perfect time, the second hands still hits the hash marks dead center, it is still waterproof, it is still functioning perfectly. It does not need a new crystal, or a new movement, or a new bezel. It still has the original gaskets (I think). I would like to get the bezel insert replaced for cosmetic reasons. Same with the crystal. If, at some point in the future, the movement fails or needs repair I believe I will be able to have it repaired or replaced with an equally robust and reliable movement for a reasonable price.
The case is the core element of every watch. Its shape is the central aesthetic feature. It is the thing that contains all the working parts. As long as I can replace or repair anything else - the crystal, the bezel insert, the crown, the movement, the hands - I will be happy. I think a reasonable argument can be made that the case is the watch while everything else is secondary.
I wear my watch. It is not some pseudo heirloom sitting in my dresser drawer.
I think it is a better looking watch than a Rolex, which are often clunky and chunky and showy. Again, to each his own. You raised your ownership of a Rolex as an object of comparison.
It is like a 4runner 4wd owner taking out the 4wd system to convert it to a 2wd vehicle simply because he wants the fuel economy of a 2WD car.
No, it is not.
Removing the 4x4 and replacing with 2x does not increase the utility of the truck. It decreases it.
Replacing a less reliable, less accurate, less robust, high maintenance movement with one which is more reliable, more accurate, more robust and requires essentially zero maintenance increases its utility.
Try to avoid non analogous analogies. The only points they successfully illustrate are your lack of intellect and inability to actually reason, further exemplified by your sophomoric rant.
No, we aren't. There is no 'we'.
Rolex are crap. Rolex owners are idiots too! We are all idiots in this thread!
I used the word 'fool' but 'simpleton' suits you, Dude.
Maybe i need to eat at McDonalds more! 40-42 mm is too big for me. Luckily, i got my Turn-o-graph before Rolex discontinued it...and it is perfect at 36mm. Rolex cases make it look bigger than measurements...so, this works out well. My Seiko SKJ076 is 38mm and that is about as big as i can go before looking ridiculous. 
Who the hell cares about your banged up case lasting?! That's hilarious! I laughed and cried so hard when you wrote that...thanks!
