Would you give watches as gifts
Have you ever bought a watch or clock as a gift ? Some Chinese people may still see it as a taboo in this modern time as gifting clocks or watches rhymed with “paying last respect to a deceased person”. :-)We have wanted to get a watch for my uncle on his birthday because we knew his watch died on him recently. But we were afraid he would mind.
Of course we cannot afford anything expensive, was thinking of getting him a functional watch that he can wear everyday. We are not really going to buy breitling watches or a name brand like patek philippe for him. This patek phillipe watches certainly are nice, but they do not come cheap though! The other day I saw one Patek Philippe - Gondolo 5030 J 18K Yellow Gold watch selling on Ebay for $12k !
Do you know of anyone who owns an expensive watch like this? Personally, I don’t. Even ourwealthy friend who lives in a big mansion and retired at 40+ years old wears a watch that costs a few thousands ONLY. :-)
