Get With The Times, Mate!
By Alfie J. Watkinson
Not many luxury items can be enjoyed every minute of every day. A luxury watch is something you cannot do without. Every man deserves to own at least one in a lifetime. Go ahead and let your rich girlfriend buy one for you! It would make her so happy!
Seriously though, there is nothing better (well, almost nothing) than feeling the weight of a good watch on your wrist. People will notice, too. Women were throwing their numbers at me when I got my first Rolex! For that reason alone, you lads might want to give it some thought.
You have to be mindful of what you are doing when you wear a decent timepiece, though. I wouldn't wear it to the fitba, if you know what I mean. Wear it out for Martinis with your favorite lady friend, instead of to the pub with your hooligan friends. Just because it is water resistant, doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about getting it wet. Wear that shite one your Mum gave you to the pub! Leave the Tag at home.
I have really grown into a massive fan of the Patek Phillippe line of watches. I love it almost as much as my first Rolex. My new girlfriend loves it too ! These timepieces are the only complete line of watches that meet the specifications for the Geneva Seal. For you wankers that can't tell time from a timepiece, the Geneva Seal is given to a watch that adheres to a certain criteria and standard of craftsmanship. The Patek Phillippe is a watch like no other, trust me.
Another thing to consider when shopping (with your new girlfriend) for a new watch, is the chronometer designation. Chronometer is a designation given to a watch that has the highest standard of precision. It is given to automatic and mechanical movement watches, but not to those that run with quartz movement. A watch carrying the chronometer certification has passed vigorous tests demanded by the Swiss Official Chronometer Control.
In my humble opinion, the only two things worth considering when buying a new timepiece are the Geneva Seal and Chronometer designations. If you have both of those covered, you are well on your way to knowing what time it is. Take my advice and get with the times, mate! Now piss off! Can't you see I'm on a date here?

Alfie J. Watkinson is currently shopping for a new girlfriend in Paris. When he is not womanizing and drinking, he can be found drinking and womanizing. He has a stellar timepiece collection, and he likes to boast that they were all gifts except for one. When he is sober and by himself, he might write the odd article for luxurywatches101.com – a website dedicated to the finest timepieces in the world, with information about Omega watches, Cartier watches, designer watches and more.
