Cheap stuff isn't necessarily cheap in the long run. I say buy less, buy better, and really use it.

Pretty much the opposite of Wal-Mart. Their marginally lower prices come at a high cost in many ways.

Or then again maybe they are attacted to blue rather than red.

Many folks cannot afford to shop elsewhere (or often times elsewhere is out of business) and are compelled to take advantage of better prices found ultimately at their own expense.

I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with this information.

Once I saw a guy pumping gas into his car and he was wearing a sub, quick, time to tell everyone on the internet!!

No, he is one of those that must be better than the next guy. Its a competition for him. Its not about the watches, its all about his vanity.

There are people out there that have a love of the brand...and the quality that goes with it. Thats not him...To each his own, I guess...

I have to agree re: Target v. Walmart. We have both in my city - a mile apart - but the patrons are WORLDS apart. I don't care who gets offended, Walmart is frightening.

But to stay on topic - I had a friend in LA who would change his oil wearing a Rolex. Made me lightheaded to witness.

I shop at WAL mart with my Platona. It's only a big deal if you make it one.

I find this a rather strange post. Do people really think about what they are wearing to a store? When I need an item, I just go with what I'm wearing. I made several trips to Lowes this week with a RG Patek and later a Platona. I don't think anyone noticed or cared about the guy in shorts, polo shirt and nice watch.
