You aren't wrong by any stretch of the imagination. Any person who offers anything other than an emotional reason for why they bought a luxury watch is lying to at least one person -- you -- and maybe two -- you and themselves. I have yet to come across a pricey watch that does some functional thing -- other than deplete one's bank balance -- that a less pricey watch of some brand or other doesn't also do just as well.
I have no problem with buying pricey watches; I have several. Their being "better" than anything else had nothing to do with why I bought any of them. There are two reasons -- both emotional -- why I have them:
- I just wanted them
- I could afford them
That's exactly the reason for the saying, "to each his own." That axiom has no application when it comes to choices based on reason.
All the best.
