What will you do if ..

Hi,

For discussion sake, will you buy a luxury watch for a love one when you know for sure that once the watch is worn on his/her wrist, it will be scratched, knocked, dropped, etc, in less than a week or two's time?

[Watcha]

yes. so long its not going to be sold in future.

she can wear it to cook, up the mountains, down rivers,
bang it on my head (not my watch), grind on desk, grind on
beach sands.

no problem at all. just accelerated vintage

[Oceanklassik]

Wow! How generous.. . Imagine it is a $10k watch which you had saved up in years to buy for him/her. And then next thing you know right after two days on his/her wrist, he/she wacked onto a rough, jaggered, concrete stone wall, and it sounded like "PIAK-CREE-KKK"..

haha that one call suay.

normal grind grind ok. if accident then no choice, how careful also can
happen.

if your partner really prone to banging here and there and drop.
Then:
1. no straps - easy to drop
2. buy Ball - can bang, many many Gs anti shock
3. buy Sinn - case hard can bang
4. buy Rolex vintage with acrylic - tahan bang and cheap to change.
5. buy a new glittering Rolex - you let it be or you bang

apparently i find datejust quite tahan bang because if the round edges.

sports series with the crisp lug edges, one hard knock gone.

I will too... I think damned long to buy myself a $80 Nike bag, but will not hesitate to buy my wife a $2000 LV bag. I'll only buy myself a $0.90 coffee at kopi shop but wouldn't mind paying at starbucks for my friends.

I think most ppl would not mind spending on their love ones, even if it is an expensive watch.

Hi,

My opinion is to ask if the person does want it or not... assuming the person is one that will not enjoy having such a watch.. then u are making life difficult for them, as they have to feel obligated to wear it, take special care while wearing it.. and if anything happen to it.... they might feel so bad about it... so before u buy.. ask if he/she really wants it.. if she doesn't want a watch.. save the money to buy something else for them... so that at least she enjoys the item....(if it for ladies... diamond, LVs and so on would suit the bill nicely)

Given to her is hers... if you love a person, money is nothing....

That's why till today, I am still reluctant to buy my wife a Rolex cos she is not into watches and it means absolutely nothing to her. The winding to her is troublesome and being careful when wearing it puts her off. Prefer to buy LV for her...heehee

[Chunster69]

I guess if she will "damage" it quickly for sure due to her life style or job requirement etc, then I will probably not...or I will buy a cheap daily beater (G shock! hehe) on top of the luxury watch (for special occasions?), but if it is her nature that she tends to be careless about it...I guess I will as long as she wants it...cos I think realising the love and $$$ involved in the watch, she will probably be more careful...

But truth is, I think I am the careless type too...no matter how I try to protect my watch, the 1st scratch etc will come within 2 weeks.....sigh....but it did not stop me from getting my rollies...hehe...

do you let your wife drive your car when you are not around???

Cedric, you hit the nail. She just doesn't care about watches. And she is starting to feel obligated. Prob is, I am the one who handled all our watches and any new 'injury' on her watches, I sure ask her. What watch she wants to wear, I prepare, and when at home, I clean and keep it.

116520, you sure know how to 'stir'. Seriously, I try not to (let her drive)..
