Today i had a conversation with a friend about which watch his friend should choose for his wife. It was a choice of a Rolex, a carrier ot an IWC. Obviously my next question was which model of each of those watches were. While I have not have the privelege of owning any of the male variation of those watches, I am able to make a selection based on my closeness on the topic of watches. I dont own many luxury watches but i know watches are a very character based. There are a few types of people who buy watches. those who think they need a device to tell time, there are also those who just wants to be seen, and there are those who tells a story about what they wear on their wrists. And i am proud to say that my obsession for watches fits the third description. The first person probably doesnt know alot about watches and probably have a couple that they deem beautiful and fitting to their fashion. The most common type of people in my opinion are those who wanna be seen. And in this category theres probably two more types of people those who would buy knockoff watches to be seen and another who would buy a real branded watch for the image for which they would be judged upon. The second type is a little more bearable, while the first would think that they could trick an educated person. In this regard, i have read an interesting article which said the only reason u could impress a person wearing counterfeit product because the person probably only knows as much as you do. I think that goes with everything else you do, if you want to impress people of a higher level, you had better have the appropriate level of quality. A watch tells alot about the person wearing it. A Person who knows his watches would be able to tell very interesting stories about his watches whether they are RM100 or RM100k. A man of watches takes the time to read about his watches, understanding its heritage, and blends the character of the watches into his daily life. which brings me back to how i make the selection of the watches for my friend's friend's wife. one question i asked was why did he want to buy the watch for his wife? Was it because she Bought him a watch too or because he just wanted to or because she wanted a watch and knew what she wanted ? If he was a watch person, answering these few questions could easily help him decide his choice of watch for his missus. At least for me - for one my wife isnt a watch person, so finding a watch that makes her look good > value of a watch.
