subject: Why To Invest In Brand Name Watches [print this page] Why should I spend a significant amount of money on a luxury designer watch when I can get a replica watch for a fraction of the price?
This is a popular way of thinking, but one line or motto does not automatically create logic. Why buy a plane ticket to travel across the country when I've got two perfectly functioning feet? Why buy a house, when you can get a perfectly good cardboard box at Home Depot? These are obviously extreme examples but the principal still fits.
Let's discuss the three major reasons why it's a wise decision to invest in brand name watches.
You Get What You Pay For
This statement works for both sides of the spectrum. If you go down to Chinatown and pick up a pair of so-called Raymond Weil Watches in a two-for-one $10 sale, you know as well as everyone else you're not really getting Raymond Weil Watches. This also means you're not receiving the high quality craftsmanship associated with Raymond Weil Watches, or whichever luxury brand name watches you desire.
Investing in brand name watches guarantees you durability, a tremendous selection of features, and a style and craftsmanship experienced in very few other industries. Not to mention high-quality mechanism made out of high quality quartz, and in more cases than not, actually being hand-made.
Investing in the two-for-one sale in some back-alley street in a major metropolis guarantees you quality equal to the toys in a McDonalds Happy Meal.
Safety And Assurance
In the long, remarkable history of watches, there has yet to be a replica watch that comes with a warranty. Go ahead, look for it; it doesn't exist. Break a replica watch, and you've completely lost what little money you actually put into it.
High quality brand name watches are known for their durability. The confidence in your watches sturdiness is only magnified by the peace of mind brought about by knowing it has a warranty. And isn't it nice when something you've put a significant amount of money down for is protected by a legal binding promise?
It's Also Illegal.
Believe it or not, it's actually illegal for people to sell your replica brand name watches. No different than counterfeit money, counterfeit watches are illegal. Sure, some laws are more enforced then others. It's rare to find someone who hasn't jaywalked, or who hasn't downloaded music off the internet, or who didn't cut that tag off of the bottom of their mattress that says "Do Not Remove Under Penalty Of Law."
Maybe the feeling of deviousness and deception typically associated with wearing replica brand name watches isn't enough. But the idea that it's against the law should be.
