Watches

Sometimes people compliment them, but in a sincere, "I recognize that watch" way. I think that there are so many guidos out there wearing flashy watches that aren't really that expensive that I don't think the diggers really notice subdued ones.

Or maybe my watches don't cut it, and it's not until you cross the five figure barrier that these types come after you.
I have a Patek that I inherited. It draws almost no attention at all, except for an occasional admiring glance from a collector. I assume the cougars think it's a Timex and I don't really pay attention to the working girls these days.
