Why did you buy your last watch?

I was thinking about this earlier this morning while reading through the "favorite brands" article.  Everyone has such diverse taste.

For me it was my Hublot Big Bang Frappucino.  I went to a dinner with Mr Biver when they were first introduced and subsequently read quite a bit on the internet, knew people who bought them, etc.  I was never overly interested as my focus was on more haute horology pieces.

The tipping point came when a friend asked me to helped sell his for him.  I put it on my wrist and never looked back.  It was so comfortable and immediately struck me as something I'd get a lot of wear out of.  Plus I liked the uniqueness of the brown, and the scratch resistance of the ceramic.

So just the last watch you bought, where did you hear about it?  What finally caused you to buy it?  Finally, show us a pic!

Here's a wrist shot.  Doesn't it look comfortable?!
