The Watch Thread - Part 3

[swatchie]

Some like PAM but I dun like their design. It is just personal preferences.

I don't like PAM either. Been collecting FM and IWC only.

I wanted to pull my trigger on the Top Gun but the size is simply too big for me, in the end went for Explorer II

Gotta love all the stereotyping going on here.

By part 3, this is becoming ad nauseam.

*Starts browsing Panerai catalogue*

ahahahahaha. lol

No ****, i had a Pam and its 1xxx better than a Ball.

You CANNOT imagine the amount of attention you get from ladies in the CBD.
Even the GCPs like Panerai.

There is undeniable immense powerful presense with Hublots/Panerais and the aura is immediately felt.

You wear a tailored shirt and pants, wear a Radiomir, drive an Audi..man, even girl in the CBD would wanna **** you.

That is the TRUTH.

A Ball watch is usually worn by an uncle or a nerd. True story.

so does the GCPs in the CBD recognize or rather appreciate rolex and iwc?

Though i always advice people to buy what they like, as long as they can afford, but the fact is that many other people still judge you based on what you wear, clothes, watch, jewellery, shoes, etc.

my weekend attire is normally t-shirt, bermuda, slippers ($2 kind) and when shopping at branded shops, no one bother about me, eventhough its my wife who is shopping and i accompanying her.

but when i wear the same attire and my Sub Date, customer service level suddenly went up a few notches.

So bro chris is correct that watch brand does matter...some brands jus turn the gers on more than others

it's a superficial world out there, especially true when it comes to the younger generation.
