I have just read "Revolutions" a new magazine I saw at Kinokuniya.
Also noticed the tons and tons of adverts over the last 2 years increasing on wristwatches.
The interest in watches have grown so much, frankly, I too have liked these nice watches as what they are...nice interesting things ..like a car.
Better yet, they don't require so much maintenance, and the resales are much better than cars.
Sadly, I think that to attract women...you have to have the ultra high end pieces...like those costing above $100k without a single diamond on it.
Have any of you guys and girls any experiences or view on this?

It is a strange website I discovered after reading the magazine .
These guys, many are Singaporeans, malaysians..the moderator is a Singaporean.
The site is called thepurists.com
and the forum is at the Harry Winston raretimepieces forum...called the Opus 5...bloody awesome machine...won't call it a watch at all.
me like Frank Muller, don't care if it attracts women or not.
OK...I know that is an expensive and damned helluva nice watch.
Where I work, and play, which is here in Spore...they impress women all the same...and I think even more than a nice car, for some cases.
Great to have a thread about watches.
Actually it does not have to be watches over 100k.... There is this saying that a watch determines a guy's character and taste. i feel that it is quite true. cannot imagine a CEO wearing a seiko or swatch do you? (but i seen before..)
I own a few good piece but mostly in the 5-12k range and i can say that as long as the design is special, and of course the worksmanship is so intricate, many ladies will notice it while you are having a meal with them.
Some will actually pull your hand over and study your watch closely. Subconsciously, these subtle body contacts often trigger some form of fondness and it does really breaks the ice and loosen the atmospheres at times. Cars may help too, but if you swing your car keys around during dinner, it seems rather proud and gives ppl the impression that you are rather insecure...
A good shirt, watch and well polished, stylish and shoes with good leather is more important. (dont forget to polish the back of your shoes as well, some ladies take notice of that).
Oh yah, of course well shaven, neat hair, no running nose... sticking nose hair etc... don't forget, IMPRESSION LASTS.
2 cents worth, anyone pls correct me if i am wrong...
