I think i would go for quality too. Just curious,cos lots of the sifu here own many watchesWondering what drives them to buy so much..hehehe
Quality... IMO, if upgraded to a quality expensive luxury watch, the old ones will not have enough wrist time....
That's the dilemma. Pays more but wearing it less. I used to keep it aside and wear it for occasion. Now I just wear them in rotation. If it get scratched, have to accept it reluctantly. Or polish it off if possible. as days go by, u will come to terms with it. U can't wear a watch and expect the watch in pristine condition.
I don't understand why ppl buy expensive watches and then keep them in a winder...I wear all my watches expensive or not most of the time...You can't avoid scratches and dings forever but for me, it adds character...I always believed that watches are static products until someone makes history with it...Wear it long enough and there will be some sort of connection with it... the "bond" that we all know but did not realize.Watches that we often remember are etched into our hearts not because of how pristine we kept it or how expensive the watch is, but the history behind that watch that might be owned and worn to death by our Dads, Uncles, Grandpas and so on...

I for one wear according to the occasion. As for scratches and dings, i dont mind scratches but dings are a bit more heartbreaking. I create a bond with my watch by buying them according to a certain achievement or significant event that occurs in my life. Of course if it is in pristine order and expensive, it adds to the overall 'feel good' feeling. Since only my senior and myself are watchmaniacs, i cant comment on the history part as we have to make the history behind the watch for ourselves.

Hmmm, maybe I should be more specific.Yes, there are watches more suitable for an occasion like you mentioned.No, I would not wear a Patek for jogging, but I will wear a submariner or a planet ocean if I have one... What I mean is those ppl who buy expensive watches, never wear for any occasion.The furthest is maybe taking the watch to a stroll on his own backyard... where's the fun in that?Yeah, maybe there are many reasons and I am just being too general... apologies if feelings got hurt.
