when u see a man with a nice watch and a cool suit, u think he likes looking after himself..

if you see a woman who is carrying a gucci bag and minolkas you think 'vanity'.

anyone agree?
I agree with this, though I'm sure there are many people that would argue vanity for men's watches as well.

I think that's true. I know that if I see a man with a nice watch it tells me something about him, granted it's not always true but it's a start. I like to see that a man knows how to take care of himself and is motivated to have money like I am, otherwise things just won't work. Kind of like how I broke up with my ex because he was never motivated to work hard and have nice things. A nice watch tells me this guy has some sense.


Though, when I see someone with a 2k watch who clearly owns nothing else of that value it screams vanity or spoiled. Again, not always the case but I've noticed it a lot around Phoenix.
