I get it right?
Men don't have jewelry or brightly colored dresses like girls do to show off and look 'special'.

But what's the deal with watches? Like I can't even tell what brand a guy's watch even up-close in person and I'm sure most people cant either unless they got eagle eyesight or some extreme watch connoiseur. If it's to impress girls, most girls arent into men's watches anyway so not like they can tell a brand apart either.

Why'd any sane person want to spend $1000+ on a shiny watch when you can get an exact same replica for $10? And funny thing... both watches do the exact same function anyway

I do it for me. I don't care if no one else notices my watches.

Lmao, a $10 replica isn't going to be anything like a $1000 watch. It won't even have the same type of movement, and no way the finishing will be anywhere close unless you're buying trash $1000 watches.

It's cool if watches aren't your thing, but come on man.

My point is... no one will notice all these very very subtle stuff anyway.

If people care, they will ask, which in watch world means they're giving you a different time then they might otherwise

I've also noticed that while most folks may not directly ask me what watch I'm wearing, I do catch quite a lot of people staring at it. In an era where every 3rd person is wearing an Apple Watch, a nice Swiss timepiece will prominently stand out.

Who cares? I buy watches for myself, and I do notice. I have both cheaper ones and a few more expensive.

Okay, hear me out...

Buying watches is an awful lot like buying NFTs.
