When Michael Briese received an email to say the Rolex he had always wanted was finally available, he felt like all his Christmases had come at once. Being from New York, Briese understands how important appearances are, and a watch is more than a fashion accessory or even a statement – it is an investment. The issue is, however, that there are many different luxury watches. So many, in fact, that it may be hard to choose the one that is right for you. For Briese, it was always going to be the Rolex, but others may have a different view of what works for that.
Michael Briese on Choosing a Luxury Watch
Exactly how significant an expensive watch is to you, and how important it is for you to own one, is a personal consideration. Some people don’t believe that owning experience products shows status and they would never purchase one. However, often times, they later get busted in admitting that owning a luxury watch would actually have assisted them in getting further in life. After all, those who are considered for promotions, who are invited to the best parties, and basically those who have the power, are all people who seem to have a luxury watch. So how do you choose one?
Briese recently saw on Facebook that the world’s most expensive watch is valued at $25 million. That is an incredibly amount of money and people would be forgiven for wondering just what makes this more special than the fake Casio you can pick up for a couple of bucks. It is absolutely true that watches serve just one real purpose, which is to tell time. However, watches are also fashion items, which is why it is common to see luxury watches included in a jewelry heist. Being able to wear a luxury watch shows not just what time it is. It also shows that you can afford the finer things in life. It shows that you have confidence in who you are as well, and that you know your particular place in society.
At the same time, it is important that you don’t get conned when it comes to luxury watches. Because the online world is now open to anybody, it has become easier than ever for peddlers or counterfeit or stolen goods to sell their wares. Hence, you do have to make sure that you do not accidentally purchase what you believe to be a genuine luxury watch, only to end up with something that is either a fake or that has been stolen. There are a few things you can do to protect yourself against that, such as finding out what type of warranty you will get with the watch and the certificate of authenticity you should receive with the watch. Finally, if you see a luxury watch that simple seems too good to be true, it probably is and you should look elsewhere.
