A watch – Omega

Hot 5689 views. 2016-5-18 18:22 | watch, Omega

Tiger asked me at the morning by occasionally, do you really want to keep your watch? I said “which one?” Omega, he said, for what? I asked, He know I like Omega very much, I have never worn it since I bought, and sometime I just open it carefully and have a look, and then put it into my safe box carefully. Actually I bought it out of my vanity.

When I worked in the previous company, one of my leaders she likes to show off her watches very often, maybe her sister had the close relationships with oversea, This is true that the quality of things from oversea is much better than domestic produces, I don’t like her style at all, not only she likes to trash down on made in china, but also she was so proud of saying that to be a real woman at least she should has an Omega in her life, she was reaching out her arm, Please guess how much was it?.

I am a totally low key people, I have never to show what I have, sometime when she was showing something by oversea to the others in the office; I was keeping the silence and just show my respect to her if she walked in my office. So we cannot control other’s mind, if you don’t like the style of others, just let it be and let it go, everywhere has the bad apples.

Several years passed, I still remembered the words, and I believe that Omega is a real woman symbol. I like Omega, When I traveled to Dubai I bought the one for myself, because there were no many chances to have to wear it, that’s why I keep it like my cherish and my baby in the box, till today Tiger wanted it to be a gift for his company, and this is very suitable gift at the moment for a key client, how can I refuse his requirement, but in fact it was useless for me and not good for keeping in the safe for long time. Even I am reluctant but I still support him, he promised me he will buy other one in the next trip.

There would always be some showoffs around offices. Some people need to elevate their status by wearing branded items, clothing, jewelry etc. Sometimes, they are obsessed with these luxury items that we have no choice but to comment on them.

It is obvious that you like this watch and would not want to give it away, but there are better new models and you can have a new one. A new one with some small diamonds or stones would look nice on you.

I also have Rolex watch in the safe box which was a gift from a good friend. Unfortunately, it is attached with with a permanent chain/linked steel watchband. I have a hairy hand and my hair gets painfully caught in the watchband so I can't wear it. Last time I took out the watch, the original box was rotting due to time and humidity. Don't know what to do with it, so I put it back into storage and decide later.

The fact is that you really care the watch. But you are supportive of your husband, though you are loath to share and give it to him.  But there is a new brand one you will have in the next trip, so it is okay.

We can meet some people who want to show off their belongings, especially those luxurious items. When I am asked how much of these things I just behave and control my manner and always say to them "Nice." After hearing of that, they are satisfied with smile to leave.

some people like to show off what they have or what they don't have but pretend they have, it's very boring. Just like you say " we cannot control other's mind, if you don't like the style of others, just let it be and let it go, everywhere has a bad apples".  
Sometimes we very care about other's words, that will gradually influence our action, when we really have a one which we used want to have, we will find everything changed.

Your watch can be changed with a leather watchband instead of linked steel watchband.

The watchband is designed to be fixed and can't be changed. Even if changed it would lose it's value and end the warranty. What a waste.

   Yeah, but I can't tell him the problem with the watchband. When somebody gives us a gift, we should always appreciate it. He always ask me why I don't wear the watch. Don't know what to tell him.

Yeah buy it. It would look nice on you, but don't overspend. Just choose a suitable and elegant one.

Yeah, i can buy another watch to suite my hand, but my friend would feel bad if I don't wear his watch, so I don't wear a watch. Just rely on the cellphone for time.
