Nice collection. Personally not a fan of watches that much as I use my phone a lot. However it feels like a missing accessory, and for someone in the land of watches I think I need a signature.
Would you have a recommendation for something hard wearing, would fit a suited attire for a small wrist (17.5cm) without looking crazy. People in my place wear Patek, Bucherer etc. I do not want to spend this much as it seems like a poor money store to me. Maybe 1k CHF.
Or am I realistically not going to get anything nice for this and should instead go for "statement piece" of a health/smart watch whatever they. I loathe the idea of the data collection but might be easy way out?
Pointless.
I've spent several £k on single pieces.
Breitling, Rado, Christopher ward, Mueller and a Rolex.
I end up not wearing them but a £15 Xiaomi mi band 5.
In fact i just sold my Christopher ward on eBay and got more than what I paid for it new.
I'm tempted to sell the Rado next.
I bought mine because mates were buying nice watches. Sure they impressed women in bars but they were only after one thing then. It became quite obvious when we would go to a certain type of club where you get private dances and such on special occasions like birthdays.
As soon as they saw the watch they could tell it was real as they see a lot of fakes in their time and then they would be all over you.
I even looked at a fake version of my Rado when I was in Bangkok and when you have owned the real thing you can spot a fake within 2 seconds. The stones weren't right you could also see whatever was underneath they had crudely glued them to shiny metal patches.
I told the guy it was a bad fake and he kept lowering the price and I'm like I'm not trying to bargain with you I have the real one and he kept on lowering the price.
If you don't really have a passion for them it's going to be a waste. Maybe buy a cheap watch and see how it goes.
I don't wear any of mine.
