My wife is married ( to me... what a coincidence ! ) she has no interest in watches.
She doesn't try to awaken my interest in shoes & I never even tried with her & watches.
I work in a good job, I drive a nice company car. I work in a small firm with 11 employees. 3 of them don't wear watches. They consider them a complete waste of money. they sit infront of a PC all day, or a car dash, or have a clock hanging on the wall somewhere, or in the worst case their mobile phone also shows the time.
I look at my Omegas as a hobby. Nothing more & nothing less. They are not status symbols. I don't judge anyone by the watch they wear & don't try to impress anyone with the watch that I choose to wear.
I buy the watches that I like, that I will wear. I don't own a Planet Ocean or Aqua Terra etc etc.
IMHO, if anyone buys a watch to impress people, they will not succeed. The people they will manage to impress are the ones that I usually don't bother with.
So the bottom line is most people have no interest in our watches/hobby.
Buy what you like. Enjoy what you can afford.
That's just my appraoch to this hobby.
