[Discussion] Will you switch from an expensive brand to a cheaper brand? (alien.top)

The other day I posted to ask about what watch should I get for my Dad. I just found out that he is wearing Movado, which is much more expensive than what I could get for him. Do yall think if I gift him a Bulova/Citizen/Seiko it would be fine? Would someone wearing an expensive watch like an average brand?

I dont know anything about watches so pls dont get too harsh on me. I’m just want to buy a gift for my Dad

Watches tell stories. Gift watches are the best. Do some research though. Dont just get any watch. Grab something that you think hell like or has some personality.

Its gotta show some thought to make it personal.

My current collection includes a tissot 1948, a simple movado museum, a larsen and jennings, and 5 sangins (i really dig sangin right now)

Of those, the Movado, Larsen, Tissot, are not my most often worn. My Sangin Neptune and Hydra are probably my most attention grabby, but

The 1 mo, 2 larsen, 3 tissot, and 4 sangin merlin (second least expensive sangin in the lineup-solar quartz) are also my most prized, never ever sell watches i own.
