    Bragging about a watch’s story, quality, rarity is completely fine, even if it’s a $50 watch.
    Bragging about the price has nothing to do with the watch. It’s about the insecurity.

    If price is the only noteworthy thing he has to mention about the watch, he either is clueless or the watch is overpriced.

      Oddly enough, and unrelated, but I’ve recently discovered that jewelry brands actually make insane watches. Bovet, Bulgari, Harry Winston, Chopard, and of course the usual suspect, Cartier - they make insane watches as they partner with watch movement manufacturers such as Agenhor, Flurier, and Chronode. These independent movement makers are partnering with MB&F for projects, and that’s insane to me.

    So many wannabe rich snobs in here. I don’t get “watch guys” and never will. It’s like they spend a few grand on an over priced watch and learn a few industry terms and then all of a sudden they are high class snobs. My sister in law who is customer relations for patek in nyc and the watch maker manager there laugh at people over paying for Rolex, omega, and they never heard of Hamilton or tissot. All of you “watch guys” are over paying for a status symbol , as much as you don’t think it is about status. The watch maker manager and I were chatting at a gathering and I mentioned a MK watch I have had for years and the second hand came loose. He offers to fix it in his spare time. The point is It was not benefits him knowing it was a Japanese movement.

    1.) Does he actually think that impressed anyone?

    2.) Does he exactly think that the $300-400 that low quality fashion watch costs is a lot/brag worthy? Oh honey…an entry level Omega or Rolex is worth 20 times as much, and those aren’t even true luxury brands.
