I have 2 nice watches but both were gifts.
If I buy one it will be for a promotion, bonus or life event (10 years no gambling for example).
There are not exactly many things a man can get for themselves to celebrate a milestone. A car? A motorbike? A posh bottle of whisky? Bones swiss ceramics?

Nice holiday.
Or just enjoy the milestone and have that loot for when it all goes tits up?

Could even get a taxi home, from any kind of ‘scene’ that might arise.
I’m sponsored by CHPO a Swedish watch and sunglasses brand. Not posting because they’re expensive or luxury but because I have a whole drawer of watches in my wife’s dressing table and the bloody thing tick tick ticks … Ticking drawer.

Call the bomb squad. They could stop the noise in one quick controlled explosion.
Thats wild, I never got how they work sponsorship with accessories brands, do they just send you watches every month/season or do you message em and say I want more?
Bold move

Expensive watches are a strange thing, just to echo the above.
I can kinda see why they appeal to a certain market though, as it’s amazing that nice things can exist, rather than just mass produced shite. Similar to cars.
I used to work for/with a guy that was really into watches and he was wearing some kind of “priceless” Rolex at some work event and was talking about it with someone else. He was within earshot of someone under his employment that made less money in a year (and was arguably underpaid) than the watch was worth. It was somewhat sickening to see the juxtaposition of wealth one person can accumulate versus the people that helped him to get there. Said person quit a few weeks later.

War with Russia would be a good distraction from this, at least.

I know! Its mental… half of them batteries have run out so the drawer is quieter than it was. And yeah - each season I get so many euros to choose a few new ones from the range, I literally have a watch for every occasion/outfit.

When it comes to watches, accept no substitute:
Lol, Nixon was my first watch - an ugly chunky thing with a huge triple width leather strap. 2005 vibes
