Choice of Watch = Personality

[Oceanklassik]

Hi,

Was wondering if any of you here, when you purchase a particular brand/model, was affected by someone; either you like/love/admire; or detest/dislike/hate?

Example: Mr X wants to buy a ROLEX watch but can't decide which model to choose. His boss Mr Y wears a SD, and he hates his boss like hell (let's take it that his boss is a nasty person). Now, he is very unlikely to choose a SD, right (say he loves the sports range all the same; no particular strong feeling towards any)?

Has anyone here experienced this feeling? It can mean the other way round, i.e. instead of the -ve, you buy a watch because you like a particular person. Isn't that what the ads are all about, when watch companies used famous artistes/models to sell their watches?

Let's share.

I buy coz I like...if that person in that case my boss...wears a SD...I will still by a SD but will not wear it to work.

Aiyo, correct la. Aftrall it is ur money but frm then on, u'd b associated wif someone everybody dislike, or worse hate! I think it's still very individual la. Darkie hs a valid pt tho. If it's me, n my boss (of course mus b very unpopular type) wears an Exp2 (a pc tat I likey ), I'll take up Darkie's suggestion.

Your watch reflects your personality and character

Do you all agree to the title?

i believe that everyone don't just get a watch because of price or brand.

If the price is a bargain but doesn't suit your kind of style, would you get it?

Personally I like watches that are clean and neat, not complicated, just clock and date will do.

Me too but if the watch price more than 4k I go with Rolex .

[Oceanklassik]

I couldn't agree more

[Alexlow]

Disagree. Watch style, taste change from time to time, Personalities seldom change.
Some guys here got more than 20 watches. Different brands, style, complications..

[pegasi]

I used to think that way.

Now my new theory is: people wear what they want to be, not who they are.



Let the debate begins...

[ten10]

Yes I do agree too.

Back in my corporate days, I used to wear elegant watches but in my current situation... just a seiko would make me happy!

Are you saying your personality and character have changed? Or more a case of change in priority and likes due to change of environment/conditions?

[eojmil]

kind of agree but not so agree too.... i wore a sponge bob watch to attend my boy birthday in school (my boy wanted me to wear the same watch) Im fine with it...

I believe what he meant is ppl taste or enviroment you are in will change... corrent me if im wrong ten10....

[blueysmurfy]

not really. I like simple, complicated, thick, thin, bling and not bling watches all the same.

[alantannottam]

It's not what I wear underneath (on my wrist), but what I do that defines me
