I also Rolex.
I also never wear.
Who cares? Why is this important? No need to think of reason why.

I like my Seiko super cheap watch. It works reliably and is accurate.

I observe almost 95% of the people I come across Do Wear A Watch.

I hardly see people wearing watches these days. Even the smart watch has lost its hype.

Occasionally, I'd see a boomer wearing a cheap looking watch.

Or else, a zoomer wearing a colourful smarty....honestly, I didn't see a lot of them wearing Apple iWatch, or Garmin or what have you.

And here I am owning a Rolex, which I feel damn shy to be the only person wearing one at any hawker centre or food court or McD. Damn it, nobody wears that in restaurants even!

What am I keeping it for? To console myself, aka lie to myself, that it's a highly desirable object that needs servicing every half a decade for a price that should keep the Rolex technician employed and paid well, and cover the rental of the posh looking premises? Tell myself, to borrow a phrase from PP, that I don't own it but keep it for the next generation(s)? BBFAs don't buy that line though..
NGL I wear my dress watch maybe once or twice a year. I don't even remember wearing it last year.

Actually I realised as time passes, is important skill to appreciate the fine things in life whether you can afford or use it personally. Is also a good way to reflect your taste and good topic to connect with people quickly. Recently I saw my boss wear GS, I praise him and spoke a bit about watches and how I like GS spring drive technology. Immediately he was quite happy and impressed a girl like me can also appreciate.
Noted. Got it. IAmChiobu is a girl. :ROFLMAO:

Rolex is bought for 保值.

It is like keeping gold bars. You sell off when gold price goes high.

wear a watch of any kind any brand is okay. don't wear a watch also fine.

but i'm too shy to wear two watches, one on each wrist - for whatever reasons.

Work at any hotel as a cleaner for 4 months and eat as much as you can at the Staff Cafeteria to save on meals for 4 months, and you should have enough $$$ to walk inside a second hand Rolex shop and get yourself a Rolex Boy.
Google sey hotel cleaner pay ish $1694. So four months is $6,776. 2nd hand rolex so cheap? Where u see?

I have watches ranging from Casio to Rolex.

I wear different watches to match the occasion and outfit. Never do I feel a need to remove my watch midway.

Frankly speaking, no one cares your watch. If you were handsome, wearing a marker drawn watch would also get points with girls.
