    Female in high street AD in Poole: That's a nice watch, is it a Diesel one?
    Me: No, it's a Doxa. It is a reissue of a dive watch from the '60s
    Female, non-WIS: yes, Diesel make those

    I sold it soon afterwards :lol: :roll:

    I am sure I read on this forum once a member had a colleague who said he couldn't understand why the date on his watch changed at midday.

    While pointing at the second crown on my Oris BC4 Flight timer a friend asked 'is that a pencil sharpener?'

    (Bloke sitting opposite me in an otherwise deserted train carriage, late at night, spots my Chopard...)

    "How much did that cost you?"

    Not necessarily a stupid question, but not one that was going to get an honest answer in the circumstances.

    Re: Stupid things people have said about your watch

    "Why do you need more than one?"

    I don't. I also don't strictly need more than one pair of shoes. Anyway, why do you need more than one handbag??

    Re: Stupid things people have said about your watch

    Yeah, why do you need more than one is a favourite

    Or

    When are you going to stop?

    But, from people who are interested I quite like the question,

    what are you wearing today

    Thirdly she thinks I should spend my money the way I want it.

    Lastly she is right about it being only accessories.

    Í think men who think derogatory about their life´s companion rather ´stupid´ themselves. It theír choice :idea:

    Re: Stupid things people have said about your watch

    I had someone in the lift say today that the last time he saw a dial like that he was in London.

    I think he must have been to the Omega shop. I cant think of another reason

    I,ve got my orange PO chrono on today..

    Nothing new here but

    Why do you need it to go so deep when you will never go down that deep?

    Why did you spend so much when a £5 casio does the same thing. usually asked by the same people who have spent that much on fags/ drink/ drugs etc in the last 12 months!

    Why do you even need a watch these days, you have the time on you phone/computer

    Why does the Bezel only go one way?

    Re: Stupid things people have said about your watch

    I was admiring my latest buy when my mother in law asked if it had a battery, i said no it was an automatic and wound itself. She thought for a moment and said her late husband had a Timex like that years ago but because he moved his wrist so much :shock: it overwound and broke the watch.

    I didn't dare asked what he used to do as i was getting daggers :twisted: from SWMBO as she could see what my next question was going to be :D
