why luxury watches? simple.. cause you can.

why sport cars, expensive shoes, expensive smart phones when a myvi, bata slippers, nokia 3210 suffice?

its all about choices and the feeling you get when you made the choice.

For me, luxury watches are like statement for people especially men
I think a man's taste can be determined from his shoes, belt, wallet, watch and of course the way he speaks
Luxury watch are not necessarily be a good watch, but a suitable luxury watch can be a good complement to a man

For me it's to own better / finer things. At some point we all have to stop wearing Winnie the Pooh watches ;)

It’s kind of like “I made it”, but most importantly, you like watches to begin with.

A typical chinaman’a success story will always be a gold Rolex and a Benz. Probably people regard their specific luxury watches as success. Some want other people to notice them, or some just love watches like most of us.

Personally, a watch is the only accessory for a man to express his character, attitude, and style. I wouldn’t wear something I don’t like just to impress other people, you only have to impress yourself.

To me, growing up hearing about luxury watches such as Rolex, Patek, AP etc it felt like ever owning something so valuable would be unattainable.

Hence now some decades later finding that you do have the means to realize these previously unimaginable dreams makes me have to acquire them.

So I guess it's just following and realizing a long due dream =)

This is my first post here.

It boosts confidence wearing a luxury watch, that's my opinion. I do find that people do sometimes wear a watch that didn't compliment his personality. That's what brand ambassador is for, profile matching.

For me, show off?

You feel good and confident. And happy everytime you look at the time. You get compliments, and easy ice breaker whenever you meet someone with the same hobby.

Its just a matter of preference, hobby, passion, and what makes you happy. 
For some it is :- Gaya, mutu, keunggulan  :Laughing_on_floor:

Owning a luxury watch is more a statement that you have arrived. Sort of a gift to self for achieving something in life. It is also a great way to meet people with the same interests as yourself. Unlike a car where there is a distinct difference between show-offs and true drivers. Do you buy a Ferrari and never tested the limits of it's abilities?

Having said that, check out the watches that the top ten richest guys in the world wear, they are more functional than bling!

IMO, a watch is a man's accessory. Like how a lady wears her necklace, brooch, earrings, bracelet/bangle.

It shows a status of a man too. Some guys may dress simply for that kopitiam breakfast or sundry shop run, but they have their luxury watch on them. From there you may be able to peek a little into what the man is.

My 2 cents. :Dancing_banana:

Some people judge a man by the watch he wears. It's a symbol of status.  People judge how smart, tasteful, attractive, and successful you are based on visual indicators.

here's what i think

- for men its a form a jewellery
- It's a passion for some
- It's a way to ensure that you have "bling" even when you leave your luxury car in the carpark
- to tell the time  :Cheers:
