It's perfectly reasonable that some people don't like watches or care to talk about them but noting them in a discussion about style is reasonable too.
It sounds like a sore spot, maybe based on past experiences you've had with some watch folks.
This should be a light hearted thread and I definitely didn't mean to introduce any tension.

Sorry when I meant OP I mean the most recent poster asking for advice. Watches just seem a little too much for someone asking genera advice on dressing better or looking younger. I would also say the show discussion got a little too much from many of the show guys.
But yes general discussion on the topic for sure. My comments were directed more at the most recent advice question.
100% it’s anecdotal experience. I know not all watch guys are the same. I just know a lot of the same type. To them a nice watch is a status symbol that follows you and is more of a quest for status or superiority than a straight up enthusiast - similar to the conversation in another thread about Tesla owners being smug.
A true enthusiasm for watches and their design and construction is cool by me though. It’s a neat hobby, one I don’t find particularly interesting but I certainly don’t wish to disparage anyone for their interests.
