Real or fake, having a nice watch will not only make you feel better, but will make you look better - in business and social situations. 

*Note* - My take on Fake vs. Real merchandise.  As long as you look like you could afford the real thing, nobody will question you and or assume.  I.e., if you look like crap, handle yourself like crap, and act/talk like a jackass - don’t get a fake Rolex.  On the flipside, if you’re wearing a nice suit, nice hairdo, shoes etc. nobody will assume about the Rado on your arm.  

Nice Watch Benefits

1. Superiors / Colleagues Notice.
   If they don’t you won’t have to worry about them, you’ll soon be above them on the organizational chart.  Whether you know everything or nothing about a business, any executive or high-ranking manager has time to talk about their watch.   Seiko, Rolex or Swatch. 

2. Women notice.  Just like the old tip that women look at your shoes, they will sure as hell notice you’re watch.  When I go out, I like to rock my Movado Sapphire.  The black face with the simple dot is easy to spot by everyone, especially women.  Let’s them know instantly you have good taste, and that it’d look good on their dresser when you two wake up the next morning… 
3. Clients notice.  Much like executive etc., I’ve had clients sign with me purely on my watch.  Let’s them know you’re legit, and the real deal.  Somewhere along the lines you did something right with somebody’s money, to afford that arm-candy. 
4. Ego-Cookies. 
   Simply knowing there’s something on your arm that can pay most peoples rent/mortgage makes you feel like… well… James Bond.
