Do You Have The Time?

for me patek, it is so nondescript, ok lang gamitin kahit nakajeep ako. di katulad ng rolex at iba dyan na pilit sinisigaw sa mundo na "mayaman ako"

quite phenomenal in asia but not worldwide. just like lacoste and benz, asians recognize it as THE brand because of its price and visibility. just as there are ferraris and lamborghinis for cars, dunhills, and montagut for shirts, there are brands like iwc, piaget, ap, lange, chonoswiss, jaeger, patek, blancpain, etc. being recognized by the privileged doesnt necessarily mean it is popular with the common man.

 

owning a rolex doesnt necessarily mean your rich; i know a junior manger who saved up for a pre-owned air king. you might also want to think of it this way; imagine wearing a diamond-studded, solid gold day date in a divisoria, that's screaming to the world you're wealthy. now imagine wearing the same watch to a tuxedo dinner or function at a 5 star hotel where you see the ladies' jewelry sparkle more than the disco ball. :)

just my two cents worth of comment....if you have it, flaunt it....just make sure that what you flaunt you can back it up with the money you have in your bank account.

 

my point is when will you wear those expensive stuff or watches....when your old and wrinkled or when about to die? no use keeping them inside the vault....enjoy them now while you still can. ;)

i agree. just like the ad of patek which states that you never own an expensive watch. you keep it for the next generation.

 

 

 

 

 

there was not so recent post on watch winders.... check out lucerne, they have a variety from singles to 4-watch winders. as for price, well, let me just say that you've already spent so much for that expensive watch on your wrist!!!!

i truly agree with you, boss atong! in my line of work, i met with CEOs, COOs, CFOs of NYSE and NASDAQ listed corporations in the U.S. and to my surprise, their watches were stainless steel or 2 tone rolexes nothing more fancy. i also met with the same kind in taiwan and similar stainless steel watches! but in the philippines, mayors governors congressmen wear all gold rolexes, a manager or sometimes a fresh grad would be wearing an explorer or GMT... :wacko:

 

misplaced priorities or too easy money?

 

thank GOD for having rich parents!
