I am absolutely vain and do nothing to hide the fact. Cant speak for everyone, but I believe many of us here are.

“Face” value refers to a convoluted, conferred respect, superficial and shallow though it may be. I am under 30s working in an environment dominated by peers much older than myself and what I do is simply try to fit in on a level of apprerance within the constraints of my budget. I am a pretender, but hey, once again, arent we all.

They are hustles but please dont be mistaken, I believe these watches have inherent value, conferred by demand, craftsmanship, legacy and all that marketing money. The hustle, is that they are wholly unnecessary. For instance, say one had cancer and recieved a million dollar payout, one would probably not blow the cash on a Ulysse Nardin Genghis Khan.

But I digress.. what i came here for was actually to ask my AP Royal oak buddy if his watch gets scratched super easily too... jesus im wearing lined coats in winter here and the stupid watch still gets these scratches out of nowhere.

Not saying you are a pretender la, it is still interesting to note that you bought a luxury watch unwillingly cos being forced to at workplace, but you seem to be enjoying the watches that you were forced to buy.
