Well, that shouldn't be the headache of those outside the league the watch was designed for. grin

When your income and finance get to that league, I doubt you'd be asking that question. tongue


As I dey like this, nothing concern me with why RR Phantom cost pass house for Mowe.


Mowe?! Or most of Nigeria. ๐Ÿ˜˜

There are a lot of benefits attached to it. For example, if you buy some expensive watches, you could be privileged to watch a match the company sponsors, free of charge. Additionally, some apparel companies partner with 5-star hotels. You stand to get some rooms and facilities at a discounted rate.

Above all, all these vanity lifestyle only appeal to blacks. A white man would wear a simple but durable watch and sound sound rest in charity. Those countries aren't great without a reason.

There are poor people in the land, with great ideas who need just a fraction of that amount to be come great for life. Blacks and vanity lifestyle is inseparable. We need to change our mentality and focus on human development. If you like, wear 1bn naira wrist watch, nobody cares in developed world.


So you genuinely believe that the thousands to millions of luxury watches out there that have probably been on sale since before black men began to enjoy success are being bought mostly by blacks?

Lol. How many blacks are successful around the globe to sustain such market?

Thatโ€™s just wishful thinking. Lol.

No benefit forlife. Just show of luxury and extravagance
cutecommend:
Please why are some watches expensive? Can they be used to solve other problems aside checking of time? I may have heard of a watch that is connected to BP stuff. Please if you have details on why some watches are expensive, help clarify.

No 1 is the brand..e.g Rolex, Jacob & co,Patek, AP and RM etc

No 2 The watches are mostly crafted by the best horologist in switzerland

No 3 the watches are made of expensive materials like Gold, platinum, diamond, Sapphire and resin.

No 4 The watches can last longer for years, some for eternity.
No 5 in the u.s you can pawn those watches and still recover atleast half or more of the initial price, so is an investment too.

Na nigeria wey watch dey affordable for as low as 3k. Most are fakes and of low quality.


The average price for a good authentic male watch starts from $50....which is affordable watches like swatch, Casio, Seiko, edifice casio, citizens etc.
But those luxury watches like Omega/rolex from $10k.. up.
No watch can last for eternity

You have to thank God if you did not fall for this foolishness, those watches can not last for eternity they are man made, Imagine buying those watches and it fell down then a car climb it, it will break, incase of fire incidence it will burn.

All these foolish ones buying those watches and over expensive things want to fill their emptiness of which they know that there is no satisfaction in this world, if you like buy everything in the whole 7 continent you will never fill that emptiness Solomon try at the end find out that all is vanity.

Na why some rich people they repent after chasing all the luxury and try to get satisfaction and fill the craving but at the end the get no joy they seek.

Contentment is the key nothing else.

status symbol nothing more.

It will also never give access to heaven
Who told you the rich are automatically damned to go to hell? Pray to God to give you wealth and put a stop to this mentality. My friend, itโ€™s only a foolish rich man that would miss heaven because money makes life easier. With money, you can help others more easily.
Now back to the subject, people who buy them do so for many reasons and one of such reasons is connection. You wonโ€™t believe the kind of doors and opportunities those watches would open for you from people who are familiar with them. Do you know why people put their kids in expensive schools when there are lots of cheaper government schools or the reason why contractors (in Abuja esp) use expensive vehicles in order to look presentable or why average and even some poor people tend to struggle to live in expensive neighborhoods? People do all these for connections. When you connect with the rich, your chances of becoming/remaining rich and wealthy will surely increase.
So in a nut shell, use whatever suits your eleda (soul) if you have the money and stop hating on the people that are spending on themselves. People do so for various reasons and being rich doesnโ€™t translate to hellfire damnation.

I have never taken my 2k to buy a watch for myself. And I don't see myself buying one except maybe a smart watch.

I have wall clock at home, I have the time in my car and finally my phone anytime anywhere.

That makes a wrist watch entirely a fashion element. I'd rather wear a wrist band or chain. I have a few.
