Re: Interesting Posting: Luxury Watches as Male Status Symbo

Lol... Let's put it this way... Watches to us are like (shoes, diamonds, purses, etc...) to women. I feel that watches do symbolize a male status... I've been in situations where a guy would look at my Heuer and say wow looks expensive how much do you make? lol

So, I agree somewhat with the article... My wife sometimes complains on why I have so many watches... but then I think why do you have so many shoes, pendants, jewelries, etc... you have more than I do when you count them up and each year you buy 4-6 pairs of fancy shoes and I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 watches on a given year ;-) If you're reading this honey, I still love you.
