Super rich guy tried to pick up my then girlfriend at an industry event after party kind of thing. She was not impressed by any of his shit. The look of disappointment on his face after showing off his $250k watch still makes me smile all these years later.

Is anyone into watches at the age when rich men try to pick them up? I could be easily impressed by a watch now (a personalised G-Shock $50-300, any diapason $500-2k, an enthusiastic watch geek explaining their Jaeger-Lecoultre...), but not part of the target demographic.

I have some lower-four-figure watches and am always way more impressed by someone with a Casio or non-grand Seiko, they clearly have more sense than me, and excellent taste on top
