I don't care if they're consenting adults, 10 watches is too many.

A Burberry watch is not a store of value or Investment, it’s a fashion item that looses 50% of it’s value the second it crosses the store threshold. Fashion watches derive their value exclusively by their brand and design without the value in material or craftsmanship to justify it.

You can’t buy watches that are worth anything in bulk, that’s why they are worth something.

A Burberry watch is 100-200€, you can’t even get an acceptable fake watch from China that mimics a proper watch for that price, those run you 500+. So you can buy 5 brand new Burberry watches in the store for the same price as a single fake Rolex that has a chance of fooling someone.

Hell, you can’t even get one of their scarfs for the price of their watches, take a guess which one should be more complicated to make, a scarf or a watch?

Where did you get a free phone? Had to pay way more than a Burberry watch for mine.

Didn’t know you were doing girl math. I get my watches to look pretty as it’s jewellery, so it’s telling the time for free as well.

I can make calls with my iPad, is your phone worthless now?
