The Watch Thread - Part 11

[slow_mo]

Tried to convince my GF that a Cartier Tank Solo > Engagement Diamond Ring.

Got flatly rejected outright. She says if every girl gets a diamond ring, why should she settle for a watch.

There you go, the power of De Beers marketing a century ago makes all the guys today suffer

Diamond ring + Branded bag > Diamond ring + Branded watch any day!!!

Just buy what they like... my wife's most worn watch is the Apple Watch. If it runs out of battery, she wears her quartz Tag. Never her Rolex or the FC that I bought for her.

GOING FULL BALL TO THG NOW!!!!!

NPNT... but please put spoiler.

De Beers is one step above the luxury watch makers because they make people pay so much for something with almost no intrinsic value. And they make use of our loved ones to coerce us into buying! At least a well-made luxury watch tells time for years, and we buy them by our own free will.

Lucky me, mine is willing to accept a watch. We have our eyes on an Omega De Ville Prestige, 34mm SS with blue mother-of-pearl dial. She wants it engraved, which means no resale value. But it's not like a diamond ring has any resale value, either.

As some bros suggested, I went to Seiko at Vivo to try out the GS'es. Even the smallest one proved to be too big for my skinny wrist, because of the long lugs. My hopes for getting a GS SD for my first luxury watch is now dashed. Probably going for the Aqua Terra 38.5mm instead.

And so I'm going to ask the question again - which shop is the best to hoot an Omega? The boutique at ION? Cortina? Hour Glass?

Since I now am contacting Ch.Ward I wonder if I inform the courier first can avoid the charge anot, or get Ch.ward to pay for me the gst upfront
