Best excuse to buy a new watch?

What is the silliest/most original/most inventive excuse you have used or heard about for the purchase of a new watch? Of course we don't need excuses, but you never know, we might need ideas...

Me at target yesterday, "oh look they got digital timexes (?) in, I need one to compare to the analog timex I just got."

·

Because I wants it…

·

Come on, I've only bought four watches this morning. What's one more?

·

Watch box has an empty slot. It MUST be filled.

·

I told myself the guy on Ebay looks like he could use a sale today.  Based on nothing.  I have no idea what he looks like.

·

Choosing a theme for my collection. LOL

·

We bought you a diamond shiny, I want a shiny

·

got a good deal

·

It's <insert day of the week>, I should buy a watch.

·

"I need a GMT for the time when I travel."
"You don't need a GMT, you have a Gshock for that."
"I know, but it's different. That is my beater, this will be my vacation watch."
"When are you going on vacation?"
"I'm not, but I could be, and I'll be ready for when I do."
"😠"

Through the universal chance of birth and privilege, I’ve been placed in a position to buy this watch - I’m not going to argue and look the other way when Lady Luck decides to gracefully take me by the hand, walk me through the ever decreasing window of opportunity and offers me the merest hint of gratification and pleasure.

Or in other words, the AD called again….

Here’s a few of my stupid excuses:

”My watchcrunch buddies has one so I gotta have one!!”

”Gotta get this one to make @HotWatchChick69 jealous 😈!!”

”I think @JaeBust doesn’t have this one so I’ll get it”

”This one digital watch that reads Roman numerals…perfect for @Aurelian for his one watch collection!”

”This watermelon dial is perfect to make @BigIona jealous!”

”Green dial!! Cool @hakki501 will be proud!”

and all sorts of shit to make my WatchMunchers proud of me and annoyed 😜…

·

A very stout collection.  Quite commendable.   I have many of the same.  

·

my recommendation don't tell anything at all. if she asks just say hmmm, its an old watch 😂

·

I adore and love this watch! 🧐 

·

"Is that a new watch?" 

"I thought you didn't want to hear about watches anymore?"

Excuses, assumptions, and interpolations are a dangerous and foolish endeavor! 🤣

To force someone to change their user name on WC. 

Worth every penny.

I’ll need a new watch to match my new socks... we shan‘t be puttering around town looking like a vagabond. #pinkiesout

I’m going snorkeling this weekend. Must have matching dive watches for me and my wife. -me, last week. 

·

"My friend is getting married and I simply need a new watch to wear to the wedding". 

·

I’ve had a bad day and I need some retail therapy. 

·

Life is short.

·

Because I want it and I can afford it, sort of.

My family not being into watches at all, I haven't be bequeathed a piece consequently.

One of my mates tries to associate to meaningful events, but it is just an excuse to get himself a new watch. 

·

Best excuse: I don’t have one.

Silliest excuse: Its orange! (dial, strap, etc.)

·

Wife: That looks like the other one you have. 
Me: No, they’re completely different. 
Wife: Well I can’t tell the difference. 
Me: Hmm

Wife: You didn’t buy it already did you? 
Me: No… whispered I’m on a wait list

Wife: What?  Me: What? 

·

I think it's acceptable to buy a watch on any day of the week that ends in "y" 😂

·

I haven't bought a new one since last month.

·

"It's a limited edition watch.  There are only x pieces in the world.  Imagine me wearing one of them"

And the silent treatment begins

·

Because I can.
