Question of the day

What is the „stupidest“ (or most outlandish) thing you heard a non-watchenthusiast saying about watches?

You only need one! 🤯

My favorites are “only old men buy Rolex” and referring to an automatic watch a guy said “it needs a new battery.”

I hear the battery one quite often! A friend of mine one time was complaining that his watch always stops working and that he will send it to a watchmaker for battery replacement! It was too late to warn him, as he had it already sent in!

All ya watches look the same

·

“My precious watch is going up in value… it was a good investment.” Then sell it!! Take it off your wrist and sell it! Or shut up and forget about its value!

·

Honestly, I hear more stupid things from enthusiasts than from non-enthusiasts. Or my expectatiometer needs a recalibration.

I just had to say it...

·

“They all look the same I don’t get it”

·

"Daniel Wellington is a quality brand"

I Ask my family friends a lot do they like my watch,and the response is always firstly,I don't like the strap 🙄🤣it's like asking do you like my new shoes an them saying I don't like your socks 🤣

·

all from my wife 😄:

Why do all your watches look the same?

When will you stop buying watches?

Why would you spend that much on a seiko?

If it's not a rolex/omega it's garbage

·

"all watches need a battery"

Quite a lot of these observations by non-watch enthusiasts are sensible. Maybe we're the stupid ones?

·

I have experienced all manner of insults and some compliments with regards to my watches but one of the strangest was the firm belief expressed by a young guy who might not have known my first name but suggested that my watches were signs of my insecurity. Guys who do know my name understand that it is not a sign of any insecure nature but proof of my addiction.

A few people l know, (my Seamaster-owning Dad included) assume Rolex to be the pinnacle of horology...

Why do you need a watch? If you need to tell time, use your mobile phone.

Daughters are trouble 😂

My daughter is only 2.5 years old now… but I can already agree with that assessment. Lol. But can’t help to love her to death.

It’s like what the comedian said. I’ll die for my son, but I’ll commit murder for my daughter. 🤣😂

That’s gold and absolutely true 🙂

Invicta has a few orginal designs that look okay, but using Rolex doesn’t really count

“Why wear a watch? I stare at my phone all day”. Me: “maybe it’s better for you not to stare at your phone all day. Wouldn’t it be nice to instead stare at a beautiful piece of art from time to time on your wrist? Will reduce your blue screen exposure. “.
