I would also recommend Qipu if you're looking for a bit of fun. Go to the basement floor for watches and such. |

Just go for a walk down Nanjing Lu, around Shanghai Centre. The street boys will offer "genuine Rolex copies" for 100, But just keep walking. If its been a bad day for them, they will follow you. The best I got them down to was 4 watches for 100. I didn't want, so I didn't buy, but it's good entertainment. |

I like the design of the "fake" watches, especially the cartier tank watches. They work great and only need battery replacement every 2-3 years. For about rmb70, what a deal. This way I can have 4 or 5 of them kicking around all the time to choose from and not have to worry about having them lost, stolen or serviced and can be worn for virtually any activity. Just to service and tune up my expensive high end watches at the dealer costs about $300 and needs to be done about every 3 years. It is kind of a pain to have to send them out express, insure them, etc., so they mostly stay in the bank safety deposit box.
To sum up, wearing or not wearing a high end watch or a fake is more a situation of convenience than of affordability. People who "need" to wear their high end watches daily are usually not wealthy, just trying to project an image of wealth by displaying their watch. This is true for other jewelery, cars, and other luxury items as well for both men and women. |

Well, at this level of wealth, and everybody knowing his face around the planet, he cannot care less.
Even if he was making his hair rainbow color, nobody would pipe a word...
reminds me of a story I read about Hemingway who enjoyed to eat with his hands in the most expensive restaurants of Paris...he just did not give a damn about what other people thought.
In the end, watches, PDA, cellphones..etc...as well as cars, it is not anymore a social status symbol...or for a very short moment, or except in China ?? ...You showed off with you Iphone 8Gb 2 months ago?? too late, you are already "has been'...
But keep all your expensive watches in the safe ?? 
I had a tw biz friend like that 20 years ago... Told me a bought a 8 carats diamond to his wife..I said, I never saw your wife wearing the ring..he said: ohh sure, it is in the safe box, we will never take it out until my little son gets married..

In their 20's,30's,40's, 50's and even beyond, people often accumulate diversified wealth which they no longer wish to use but are not yet ready to pass on to their children or others quite yet. Hence stuff gets parked in the safety deposit box until ready to be parted with.  |
