AllergyDoc 40 Posted January 3, 2009 I think most of us watch freaks forget that others don't think like us. Most people couldn't give a rats ass what you're wearing on your wrist. This is how I feel about women and purses. What do I care about what purse some woman is carrying? Granted, some watches are hard to ignore because of their size or design. The Grahams are this way. How can anyone ignore an oversized Graham? If you got a gold cheapie and wore it only on special occasions it will look sharp, but probably no one will notice.

iabounty 8 Posted January 3, 2009 Now we are getting somewhere........... Women DO look at a mans watch IF he is also well dressed........To a female a "package deal" . A well dressed man with a "Rolex" watch =SUCCESSFUL, RICH and VERY DESIRABLE..........Will $59 do it??????? Will Allergy Doc tell us about all his "secret encounters" with the super sensual women that throw themselves at his feet??????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will Allergy Doc tell us about all his "secret encounters" with the super sensual women that throw themselves at his feet??????? My take is that if you need a flash watch to get laid, you have bigger problems than your watch budget... Ask Luthier Seriously, those $59 Rollies may not be the best, but they certainly ain't junk. Both (actually, all 3 if you include my TTK DeepSea which wasn't much more expensive) of mine keep excellent time, have good power reserve and look good on the wrist. No, they won't fool a WIS, but when was the last time you met a WIS in public? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcloud 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Have had 4 cheapie watches from HouseofSouvenirs and all have been fine, apart from a Corum which was gaining 6 mins an hour and wouldn't regulate. Lawrence replaced it (after I sent it back twice) with a Rolex Seadweller, which was amazing for the money. Dave is funny, always making derisory comments about buying cheap reps, i.e. if you must buy a rep, make it a top rep. Fancy being a snob about replica watches!. The only thing I would say iabounty, is that if you're looking for credibility when wearing a Rolex DD/DJ, then your attire of black teeshirt and jeans, while admirable in its understated simplicity, will not work with the ladies. Better to stick a hosepipe down your (faded) jeans (as I do) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better to stick a hosepipe down your (faded) jeans (as I do) I agree........ Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who stuck a potato down his swim suit to get the ladies attention......... However it must be placed in the front, not the back.............. Indeed if I buy a Rolex DD or DJ in gold it will not be worn out of the house unless I am in "full dress uniform". Along with the gold diamond ring Chevrolet Motor Division awarded me several years ago. I am still pondering what dealer and which watch.... :ninja: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted January 9, 2009 There is no one style of dress that works with an expensive watch... even a FG Rolex.... Dirty boots and a FG DJ is hard to pull off, but faded Levi's, old penny loafers and a ratty Polo would work just fine... Or khaki shorts, loafers with no socks (or golf shoes) and a polo (sweater over the shoulders even better). You could wear a tux. Or a suit. Or a button-down white dress shirt, blue shorts, penny loafers. Or button-down, old jeans, and Nauticas. Or shorts, dress loafers with tassles, no socks, and a short-sleeve linen shirt. Jeans, dress shirt, blazer. The possibilities are endless. Khaki slacks and french blue dress shirt, tan wing tips. And on and on... People who wear gens are NOT a homogeneous block of clones. They are individuals. Usually there are signals that they have money (other than the watch) but not always. But if you wear certain clothes, even if somewhat ratty, you can pull it off. A LOT of monied people wear ratty fetish clothes (the jeans their wife wants them to throw out). Just use your imagination and common sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawrence uses airmail (unless you pay to upgrade to EMS - but don't bother). On average it's just under 2 weeks to the UK from completion of order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
