We usually want one to satisfy our "craving" to have at least an item of luxury to wear at least once in our lifetime. For ladies, it's probably handbags, for others it could be a family heirloom bracelet, etc.... and that luxury item comes with some status and aesthetics that gives us gratification (aka syiok sendiri)

Watch is one of those few luxury things a man can splurge on himself. Some says car is one such items but how often we can get good nice car below 100k? But with watches, there's hundreds of good choices.

For our lady friends,  there are million of luxury items that can fit into their life. Handbags, necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings,  fashionable clothes and of course, more handbags! The way i sees it, a man can simply put on an elegant watch and he's prepare to walk out of the house.

Mostly self satisfaction, or siok-sendiri, to wear expensive watches. Then again, "expensive" is a relative term!

You must let others know it is expensive at the same time.  Some just don't appreciate!   :Laughing_on_floor:

I buy to "shoik sendiri" appreciating tiny mechanical part. I know some buy just to give face to others. I dont buy onto that. Some ppl was like dafuq when i showed them one particular watch which powered by one of old school chronograph

i usually don't let others know that it's exp. I keep a low profile and I'll just let them find it out it themselves.  ;D

Should be cheaper with senior citizen discounts. They know you won't pedal it to the metal and no messy interior to clean up later...

Apparently the chic mistaken Armani exchange to be expensive watch, which 'impressed' her.

For mechanical purposes a chronometer grade Tissot with sapphire crystal is good enough for most people.

But yes, it's basically the only jewelry a man can wear. I talked to some "atas" girls and they quickly judge guys by their watch. What to do real world is like this. I think you walk into a property showroom with a Rolex, you will definitely get better service from SA hahaha.

For guys, manbag is a no-no in my opinion. I saw some young chaps using coach, lv or gucci sling bags... Too girly lar. Even worst lately I've been seeing men wearing Pandora bracelets!!!

For me, other than the status Part, the heritage and specs are the most important.

Watches are men's wearable high-tech luxury toy.

Agree. Men got 3 toys, watch, camera, car.
