Patek Philippe marketing line:
"You don't really own a Patek Philippe; you just take care of it for the next generation.":o
Just to clarify: do you "take care" of a Patek Philippe or do you "look after" it?

打肿脸充胖子 is quintessentially Singaporean. Contrary to the propaganda of the PAPpies, Sinkie sheep are an impoverished bunch, no richer than the their so called "poor neighbours up North".
The Swiss Railway Watch
Any admirer ?

Doesn't matter. If the watch spoils, just sack the person who sold it, simple as that!

Doesn't matter. Nobody would sell such a watch to him. He can't afford it anyway.
So, is it your conclusion that everyone who buys a rolex wants to howlian in one way or another? But there are some who are shy about being howlian and others who are not?
Btw, snob appeal is not always worth more than durability and accuracy, it depends on the person and his values and character.
Lucky I neber buy Lolec. :o

Ok, when given the choice between 2 brands, a person may choose the rolex after considering the future purchase value as one factor.
But I still doubt that when a person is deciding to buy an expensive luxury watch, he would even think that he would one day be pawning it.
Certainly there are people who have frequent ups and downs, but would they even buy an expensive watch if they have experienced real downs or anticipate one coming?
hahaha...bro, u are not in this lifestyle so you will not be aware.
a big group of gamblers wear Rolex for the simple reason reason that besides prestige, Rolex can be easily exchanged for cash....
there were many instances of gamblers who need quick cash in illegal gambling dens and the watches were used as "guarantee" for immediate cash loans.
For this group of pple, it is not uncommon to see them wearing Rolex and without the watches for periods of time frequently.....
Do you have one to begin with?
Anyway, if you have it, and having said many good things about it, why do you want to sell it?
Lost all your money at the casino with Golden Dragon or at the turf club with Equilisation?
Just wanted to buy a watch for casual wear,
with my small wrist, only prefer those slim type,
with a second hand and date, so i bought this,(picture)
for $280, actually wanted a Longines but it costs around
$800, thinking what's the different between these 2 brands?
With $800, i can buy 3 Tissot.

Yes, I did my research before posting the original post quoted above. Can't you read my disclaimer in my original post which said "I don't know about other expensive watch brands"? I didn't claim that only Patek has a registration database. Whether Lolex has a registration database or not is something that I don't know.
Again, my original post quoted above DIDN'T say only Patek has the produce to detect fake watches. Whether other expensive brands have the same procedure or not is something that I don't know because my specialty is Patek.
WRONG! It's a myth that all Lolex are handcrafted. Go to this link http://www.chronocentric.com/watches/brands.shtml to find out that most Lolex watches are mass produced.
You maybe right that some Lolex models may take up to a year to be handcrafted. But most Lolex watches are actually mass produced.
WRONG! All Patek's mechanical watch movements whether low end, mid-range, or high end Patek watches are made in house. Do some research before you sprout nonsense like this.
Most people haven't heard of it because very high end Patek watches are usually purchased by wealthy watch connoisseurs for collection purpose. Most of them don't even wear these timepieces as they are usually stored in safes and vaults.
Whether I can afford a very high end Patek or not is none of your business, you twit!
You don't know me personally and how can you quickly make a judgement just by reading my original post above? Typical Sinkie kiasu mentality! During the Vietnam war, CIA agents were issued Rolex watches with encrusted diamonds. Rolexes were chosen as they could be used in place for cash in case the agents needed goods, assistance or needed to bribe someone in the field

I think the popularity and prestige of Rolex watches among HK, Malaysian and Singapore Chinese also have something to do with most British colonial officials and military officers wearing them during colonial times.
Self confidence is definitely worth much more than snob appeal. A self confidence person will need a durable and accurate watch

Is it really that hard to understand the statement that 'snob appeal is worth much more than durability and accuracy ?'
If you read the statement in context, the term worth refers to its ability to command $$$. There are many durable and accurate timepieces. In fact, all Quartz watches are more accurate than automatic watches. As for durability, many can count on Seiko, Citizen and Casio. But these watches do not have the snob appeal.
Most people are more prepared to pay for snob appeal than durability and accuracy for timepieces. Ironically, it's the snob appeal that enhances the wearer's self-confidence.
wow PP and Rolex war, i like. more pls.
Hi meltdown, why is Alain Silberstein in the high end luxury list??
the watch look like make by primary school student.
