Funny Things Non-Watch People Say

Yesterday after work I picked up my fiancé from the station, she has no real interest in watches, but as I drove off it was one of the very rare times that she struck up a conversation about them...

Her: "Paul had a nice watch on today, I think it's one of the brands you like?"

Me: "Oh yeah, which?"

Her: "Omega?"

Me: "Yeah I love Omega, which model was it, what did it look like?"

Her: "I don't know which one, it was a nice one with a metal strap?"

Me: "Right..."

Her: "I said to him that I like that name, Omega, much as I love the look of the watch I got you it does have quite a feminine name compared to the others you mention."

Me: "Feminine? What's feminine about Tudor?"

Her: "Tudor? Oh I got that wrong, I've been telling the blokes you wear a Tulip!!!"😂😂😂

I bet the blokes at her work reckon I'm a prize twit, does anyone else have similar stories? 😃

Wife recently hit me with this. Keep in mind she knows how much I love watches

“ your band looks like you got it out of a thrift shop and the watch out of the junk yard”

I found that a strap can devalue a watch by about 90% :-)

1k watch was valued at about 100 euros by my wife - because of 'that very cheap looking strap'

(was a Tropic strap on a Squale btw).

That might be a good work around to buy expensive watches and claim otherwise? 🤔

i look at watches all the time, i asked my brother if he had a watch and he said "i bet you'd shagged a watch if you could"

i guess that was a no then! 🥺

Anytime I get another G-Shock (which is what I collect) my wife always says, "it looks like every other one you have it's just black." Even though I don't have the same model twice.

It makes more sense when you understand men are attracted to tools and a watch as a tool and women are highly attracted to aesthetics because of their looks. The irony is funny though

In fairness I'm just as bad with clothes and other things too, I'm probably worse than she is in the amount and variations of things I obsess with!

I can't stop looking at watches on other people's wrists. Many times I strike up a conversation about what drew them to that watch. Always good dialoge. That being said I've never run into anyone that didn't know the difference between brands, oh wait my wife thought I had a new Tudor on the other day. Happened to be a Tissot Visodate😂🤣

Tulip, is this a Chinese homage brand I'm just hearing about? Let me guess, its got a Tianjin Seagull movement, right? No, an NH-36? "Synthetic" Sapphire crystal?😂

Yeah I do the same, I was trying to work out what some fella on the train was wearing this morning, but couldn't look properly as his hand was on his lap and I didn't want him thinking I was staring at his crutch!

If they did a homage cheap enough called 'Tulip' I'd get it for my Mrs as a joke! 😃

Tulip - At a distance, all Roman alphabet letters look the same on a dial. Substitute for Tudor, no one will be the wiser! 😂

Top Brands!

What makes me laugh is mine has so many things like shoes and earrings which look pretty much identical to each other 😂

But don't say that!

I feel badly that I have nothing to add, but I enjoyed reading your post. I run into people who are knowledgable about watches, not enthusiasts though, who know too much to say anything funny.
