lol @ armani watch. way to fag it up. If you're gonna wear an armani watch you might as well go ahead and buy a Swatch watch.
I've got a IWC I bought with my first company bonus (bought it off the CEO ) and a Patek Phillipe my dad gave me. In the watch world Cartier is kinda mainstream, cos they started out as a jeweler and not a watchmaker. I don't wanna keep wearing a 10k IWC everyday, so the Cartier is to take over casual duties.
when you're working in teh corporate world a good watch says more about you than you can ever hope to get across in a conversation, and can be the difference between sealing a deal or a promotion or calling the shots in a negotiation and slumming it. Its an investment in your career and social life, and doesn't depreciate as much as a car, nor get you labeled as a hoon etc. Hell if you buy the right watch it'll even go up in value.
I don't need to buy it, but I'm gettin in while the exchange rate is good cos I stand to save about $4000. More if I can convince one of the publicists to pick it up and wear it on the way back, so I save on taxes.
