What does your watch say about you?

I have been in sales for 14 years and I can tell you that I can read a person just by what they are wearing. I know that sounds like bull but I can give you examples of what I have learned over the years looking at the way a person dresses. The number one thing I look at is the watch a person chooses to wear. There is nothing worse than a person dressed in a 100 dollar suit wearing a knock off Rolex that is suppose to be worth 10 thousand dollars. Your jewelry is a dead give away to anyone who knows what to look for. When we first meet people we take in the whole package then we look at accessories such as rings, watches, and any other form of jewelry. When I see someone dressed conservatively with a watch that is classy and not too gaudy I think they are sensible and don't like to waste money. When I see someone dressed conservatively with a fake watch with fake diamonds floating in the watch I think they are pretenders. You can look like a million dollars without wearing that awful watch with the huge face and all those fake diamonds in it. There are hundreds of styles that don't cost an arm and a leg and are quality watches that make you look like a true professional. If you are wearing a nice suit and you are sporting a huge faced gaudy watch with way too many sparkles on it then I immediately think of rappers. I am never going to buy anything from a guy who idolizes rappers. That fake watch lost you a potential sale because I can't trust anything you say to me. If you are willing to pretend to impress people then I don't want your product. I know this may sound harsh but it is the real world. I have done business with multiple millionaires and I have never seen one wearing anything resembling the crap you are wearing. So, what should you wear to look the part? Instead of spending 500 dollars on a fake Rolex, use that money to buy 2 quality watches from Bulova, Citizen, or Seiko. There are brands like Invicta, Skagen, and Sartego that are a couple hundred dollars and look much more expensive. Be sensible and get a watch that will show that you are a responsible adult who doesn't waste money on watches and your clients will be more impressed. If you make it big someday and want to waste thousands on a watch than get one that will increase in value. Rolex uses a lot of gold in their watches and will only increase in value. Also, people collect Rolex watches and the re-sale value is very high compared to your watch filled with low quality diamonds. Find your quality watch here and save money.
