I prefer not to discuss costs, but some people won't let an issue alone. So I basically have two responses-
I purchased the watch pre-owned, so it was substantially less than its retail price which you can find online.
I put on my watch the same way I put on I put on my suit, Brooks Brothers shirt, and BB tie for a sales call. I am projecting a professional image, and my watch is one of the accessories.
: Any suggestions for a quick come back to
: friends and colleagues who say, "Nice
: watch. How much does something like that
: cost?" I don't like 'getting into it'
: for the next ten minutes when I tell the
: truth but I don't want to lie or seem
: confrontational either. I've found trying to
: sidestep the issue just prompted people to
: run to the nearest computer terminal (damn
: technology!) and look it up. This made it
: worse. I've gladly 'gotten into it' with
: only three people: 1 wearing a Breitling, 1
: wearing an Omega and 1 wearing a Rolex.
: Funny thing is that price never came up
: initially with any of these people. This
: must come up with some of you. What do you
: say?
: Also-I made my 'dream watch purchase of a
: lifetime' not even a month ago figuring this
: would finally cure me but I'm already
: seriously looking into a Deville CoAxial
: GMT. If I get this next one it'll all
: stop..right?!!!
