Watches Instead of Diamonds

A colleague at work is a huge watch fan. She told me that she even asked her husband to buy her a watch when she got engaged instead of a diamond ring. Then again, her watch probably costed her husband more than a diamond ring did! It's not a simple watch but a highly expensive collectors watch similar to brands like IWC and Cartier. Isn't it an interesting concept? Its something that you can wear everyday on your wrist without fearing for your safety.
