Hezzyluv: 7-10k U even try.... I dey buy 1k 1.5k ![]() My idea be say...i try to buy expensive-looking things for cheap.....wey be say If I rock am....U go dey ask me for the price... though...I don't buy things to show....my purchase decision is mostly based on my instinct that the thing will fit me and I'm mostly right I have a black wrist watch...it's a led watch....very dark...I mean deep black 🖤....so fine and sophisticated....the first time I wore to work....pple dey ask me aw much i buy... Sometimes..it's not how much...it's how you rock it ...how befitting it is... You fit wear 100k wristwatch...make he no be for your hand...and pple will assume it's fake.... And you fit wear fake thing...make pple dey disturb you for the price.... Besides , there is something called ILLUSION... Some people are so good at it .. in fact they feed from it.... I'm good at it too but I am too real for such 4 Likes |

muyico:You can never make a watch from pure diamond or pure gold. In fact there is no item in the world that requires beating to shape that is made from pure diamond or gold. You can only cut diamond and put them in jewelries. 24 karat gold is still not pure gold. 1 Like |

In 2003 a friend to my dad came back from Switzerland and gifted me Omega wrist watch. I never knew d real value till one day I travelled to Ghana on one of my personal hangouts some bustards accosted me and saw d watch and took if from me. I hated Ghana from that day till today. Watches are mot that u will use them to check Jesus will come or will it keep d time of one's death, but d value is investment. People now buy stock in precious stuff. Another thing is class...it shows class just as u will go to Hilton hotel to buy a bottle of water for 2k and d same bottle is sold in another regular hotel for #150. 1 Like |

I was scrolling to see if someone could broach the subject of VANITY concerning stuffs like these. And you sure did. Thanks!👍👍👏 . It's all about showing off and feeling belonged. Nothing more. People who doesn't know the worth or price tags of these watches, would only see them as just ordinary time tellers. And that's all. dauntless15: |

Starz825: Lol... When I was in Lagos, I could go to Oshodi or Asuani market to buy some ben-down select shirts. I will rebrand it by removing the buttons and replacing it with 'swagaliciuos' ones ![]() On giving the shirt better ironing wearing it afterwards, some people will ask who dey supply you all these confirmed shirts? They don't know that even the dozen price of the buttons is costlier then the shirt gangan. ![]() 1 Like |

Expensive Watches, Art work, Wines are some times used for money Laundering. Some people rather move expensive tiny stones than drugs Finesse Eledumare ja mi si |

Banbanna:It's the thing with people, most people start liking things because some group of people said it's cool, now they stop thinking about how helpful that stuff would be in their life and only start thinking about being cool too, and it becomes a battle between what's necessary and how to belong, very vain, we go die leave all this things, they'll become outdated, it doesn't even matter, but people won't understand. 1 Like |

They're called time piece from a reason. I once owned a frank muller back in those days. Boy those watches are master piece. They are complex, intricate and exclusive. But what do I know when we have the likes of Gaff, Patek, Bergeut, Chopard. Boy Rolex dy learn nowadays. |

Status symbol and investment purpose,I guess.Some of these extremely expensive watches are ugly as fu*k ,eg Richard Melle,I just don't get the adoration. I'm more of a TAG heuer and Omega guy..some of the best looking watches ever crafted. |

blowjohn: Stand out in what way? Will the watch show a time different from any other person's time? |

I'm sure Dangote won't wear that kind of expensive watch Sanwoolu is wearing. Our politicians' brains need to be examined before allowing them to run for elections. |

Banbanna: You’re like someone born blind and has gotten used to life without eyes. Such person will always wonder what’s so special about eyes; I mean they can do most to all the things others can do. You’re no different. Get the eyes first and then you can determine if it’s overrated or whatever. Not from your position of want; you think you understand why rich people make their decisions. Funny guy. If you even knew really rich people personally; you won’t have this opinion about purchases. |

vexing: So what is pure gold? What are you saying bro? Metals can be refined till all external alloys and impurities are removed. 24k gold is 100% gold void of any impurities or alloys. Na you be the first person weh Dey talk this thing since I was a boy. It’s literally information everywhere. 24k - 100% 18k - 75% Etc. |

PepeXKermit: Omo, leave am to poor man to villiainize what they can’t afford. Same thing they say about luxury cars(no be point A-B, why I go buy that kind motor. Waste of money). But forget that they don’t need cars either; they can trek or use public transport; at least both will get from point A-B |
