Very interesting article... too bad I buy my watch because I like it while those guys buy it to impress.

Good article, I like this quote!!

“A Maserati only goes as far as the parking lot, but a watch you have with you all the time.”

"Mike wears an $8,000 Rolex Submariner II to the office." (quoting the writer...)

Hey where can I get one of these????

darn... i was wrong with my Rollie and AP then...
looks like i need them diamond/gold/large faced brietlings and cartiers...and a lexus :)

Gaijin · 16 January 2013, 08:16 PM

I have been wearing Rolex for many years. Not once has a woman that I know of liked me or showed interest because of my watch or even made a comment.

mcorliss · 16 January 2013, 08:21 PM

That's a good case for a Swiss Army Watch. Buy a timepiece, a car, or a house because it pleases you, not to impress others. To think otherwise is a fool's game leading to future financial instability.

Yeah... That just about sums up the quality of the article!

alanbass · 16 January 2013, 08:56 PM

That was an interesting read...however, consider yourself a loser if you need a watch to attract a woman.

Well it made me laugh... especially the part about a blinged-out Breitling being better than a Rolex for impressing people...

brokenchains · 16 January 2013, 09:30 PM

So many people don't even know that my Daytona is a Rolex, they
always act surprised when I tell them, I guess they think all Rolexes
look like gold DD's, I like it that way!!

Jeffex · 16 January 2013, 09:40 PM

Not a good article ! Should have called it "Bling for Breasts"

Lion · 16 January 2013, 09:49 PM

I'm still confused...what is a Submariner II...???
Take it easy.....Leo

Demosthene · 16 January 2013, 09:51 PM

I found the article largely distasteful.

it's just an ad for the watch store

The writers must have spent 5 five minutes at the bar a Tao. In that amount of time, you will see more wrist shakes than in a peep show... All by a bunch of over confident Wall Street types trying to draw attention to their watch.

AzPaul · 17 January 2013, 12:00 AM

Trust me gents, it's competitive out there. Any edge you can get comes in handy.

That's why I'm picking up my new Submariner III later today.

Roller07 · 17 January 2013, 12:17 AM

So I buy nice watches to impress women?

And all this time I thought I liked nice watches because of some sick addiction to nice timepieces.

Whew. I feel much better now.

Everybody has an opinion, and different motivations.

Do I believe this happens, yeah.

I simply can't afford to do this though, my wife would kill me.
