Wearing to Impress

Going on a double date tonight, never met the other guy, but I know he recently acquired a VC 56:

I have nothing comparable, and though I hope he's a watch guy and will be excited with whatever, I have my doubts.

Want to wear one of the classier members of my current collection, here are some options:

Thoughts?

Basically I feel like I'm going on a date with this guy instead of my actual GF; watches do funny things to your brain.

Off to the Invicta store

Are you serious?

The white Raymond Weil is Swiss, classy and understated. 👍

This is a social media app for watch dorks, nothing is serious

Wear a G-Shock. No one dares to criticize one. And you will be at ease not trying to impress anyone. But really? Who cares about the other person’s opinion, really?

If you start talking about watches you can be certain this will be the last date.

But if you must there is only one way to show you are better than he is. Bonus if you're dining at an Italian restaurant-you'll probably eat for free

I would pick the Bulova or the Seiko. If one has some special meaning, take this one. Both are classic brands and watches. But most important: Be the better gentleman, make your girlfriend proud of you and the other woman a bit jealous. Only talk watches if the ladies are enjoying themselfs and you get some time talking to this guy.

DUDE! You know I’m going to vote for the Accutron.

The right answer is drive down and grab one of the quirky ones from the box. :-)

Is there a chance the other dude is a cruncher too ?

Most watch guys I know are really nice blokes, all the best w/ that ddate 👍

Bring an Invicta; if he goes on about it, you can smack him in the head with it like a brick ;-).

But seriously, if he's not a watch guy, I would bring the King Seiko. And then drone on about the competition between them and Grand Seiko, the two factories, that Seiko took the world accuracy crown from the Swiss, and then crushed them with the Quartz Astron, etc. He'll run for cover lol

·

Accutron immediately draws my eye

·

Ooo that KIng Seiko is CLASS! 🤌🏽🤙🏽

·

I’d wear the Hamilton tho. 🍻

·

Wear a casio and don’t mention his watch concentrate on your gf . There is no possible need to compete .

You gave my advice:)

Ok, he was nice enough, showed up with a two tone datejust 41, black dial and what looked like diamond set indicies. We talked about watches a little, never asked what I was wearing. Overall a nice evening, but I won't be ditching my GF for him any time soon.

·

Go for the King Seiko

KS

Maybe he is here in the comments section and already answered 🙀

·

Wait wait wait…..how do you know “the competition” just bought a VC? Is your lady friend a watch lover or wannabe? 🙂

·

Wear what speaks to you. You dont need to impress him.

How is the king Seiko not getting more love? I’d go KS or the accutron.
