Be critical of others choices of watch. Be especially awful and nasty and be instantly seen as a cock.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Keep your prized watch in pristine condition by keeping it in a safe and not on your wrist....
Got a long drive in the morning ?
Drink copious amounts of alcohol the night before. You'll be so dehydrated you'll not need to stop for toilet breaks.
Surely, there can't be a downside ?

Impress your watch collecting friends by swapping the words 'strap' and 'shoes' at every opportunity
Keep on posting 'technical advice' so I can print off and pass it round at our monthly Institute lunch and have the lads pissing themselves laughing.

Maintain respect in the Friday thread. If you're wearing a cheap watch, make sure that people know you also have an expensive one by adding "Wearing my beater today, giving the (insert name of expensive forum favourite) a rest".
To attempt to Sell a tiny watch on fleabay or sc, list it as "JUMBO CASE" and pretend your not full of shaet.
Your watch isn't too big, you've lost weight.

Any Rolex that fails factory quality control is re-dialed as a Tudor and sold off cheaply
This thread deserves Classic Posts status IMO.

Whilst wondering around The Disney Store in Uxbridge, let every body know you are wealthy by constantly pulling the sleeve of your tightly fitting jumper up so everyone can see your wearing a Gold Rolex GMT. You can add to the illusion by shouting loudly at your children.
*this tip is based on real life. And yes, he was a cock.
Buy an Invicta - it makes for an excellent alternative to those nasty overpriced Rolexes!
If your father hasn't given you his Patek by the time you’re 21, it's because you're the postman's lad.
Ladies, do you know hubby's watch collection would pay for 100s of pairs of shoes? www.ebay.co.uk

When purchasing more watches than ’Ming's Law' (aka her Indoors) allows. Avoid her wrath by pretending you've sold on one more than received by sending watch box sized parcels to random destinations!
Avoid wasting money on an expensive wristwatch by never committing yourself to being anywhere at a specific time.
Fool people into thinking you've bought a Panerai by stuffing an ice hockey puck up your sleeve and whistling some Italian sea shanties.
Talking of grids.
When designing a petrol station forecourt, place a grid exactly where your car door opens and you're most likely to drop your keys!
On every fucking lane!!
Photograph your new 'keeper' as soon as you receive it to save you the bother of having to do it two weeks later when you decide to sell it.
Apologies for the swearing, I use tapatalk and thought we were in the bear pit.
At airport security, put box and papers on conveyor-belt in case X-ray operator thinks you wear a fake Rolex
At a posh Greek wedding, smash your ceramic cased watch instead of plates

Don't be fooled by the apparently non-controversial nature of wrist wear. A watch forum is an excellent place to get into a vicious argument with a complete stranger on any subject of your choosing.
