Ok. that was a bit harsh from me.

But i was asked before why i wear a Patek when my boss doesn't

Does the Patek suit my socioeconomic level? Seriously, who cares? If everyone thought like that we should just wear Timex on our wrists. Justifying a TAG or Cartier vs a Rolex vs a PP bears no difference

Nice watches, cars, women (sorry for being sexist) is not confined to he upper class solely due to their price - if we plebeians can afford and justify the purchase (even if it is your annual salary) - we should be entitled to enjoy it as much as the manager i am working under (even if he wears a Casio).

Again i must stress, if you have bad credit risk and will borrow money to buy this - then you shouldn't But if you saved all your life for it and you have set aside funds...buy away.

If your friends can't appreciate that - find new friends

My belief is as long as you can afford it and don't end up in debt or do illegal stuff, go ahead and enjoy your nice things!

I'm gonna get a PP for myself as a christmas present this year and then an AP next year. Then in 2020 I'm gonna finish off my collection with a JLC.

Agreed, if you have a sound financial plan in place and stick to it and still have funds set aside.. Go nuts man!

Think babychimz post sum it up best.

Watch is an emotional purchase and the brand and persona surrounding it need to give owner / potential owner a feel good feeling.

Not that u need to concede everything including ur principles to unreasonable customer but at least do it politely and professionally in engagement.

*drop mic and walk away hahah
