Lovely watch - what a great purchase!

Although I am a tech geek and love everything Apple, there is still nothing better than a nice wristwatch when you go out. As dress codes get increasingly casual there are very few ways for new to stand out - watches and pens are two of the best ways for men to show their individuality.

HR Owen, the largest Rolls Royce dealer in the UK retrained their salesforce about 10 years ago. Historically they would judge a serious customer by the quality of their handmade suit. But these days Billionaires wear jeans and t shirts, so they had to recalibrate their assessment of their clients. The two things their sales people are trained to look for are watches and pens as the mega rich rarely compromise on either of those regardless of how casually they dress.

For me, I use an Apple watch when working at home, but when I am traveling I have an Omega, Tag Heuer, Jaeger LeCoultre, IWC and Bell & Ross to choose from. Also have a collection of old military and aerospace watches from the Russian, UK and US military that I have bought at auction and flea markets. Guess I am spoiled for choice :-)
