What’s the best part of men’s luxuries: watches, perfumes or sunglasses? I bet, most people will say watches! There are so many luxury watches for men today. They’re beautiful, and come in so wide a variety that it becomes a problem deciding on a single design or brand.

Despite that, you must avoid some mistakes while buying expensive watches. This is to make sure you don’t have to regret your decision later on. Tragically, some buying decisions can turn out to be too expensive to lament – especially when it comes to watches.

Here are a few things you should try and avoid. This applies when you’re buying yourself an Omega, a Rolex, or one of those Cartier watches.

• DO NOT buy watches off the street. There’re lots of imitation watches that are hard to differentiate from the original ones. Some that read ‘Rolex,’ might not actually be a real one.

So avoid buying men’s luxuries (watches, hats or jewelries) from just anybody you come across with. You should look into the Certificate of Authenticity that comes with a luxury watch.

• DO NOT try to save money on your luxury watch. You should consider the fact that the watch is supposed to stay with you for a very long time. So you better ensure that you’re investing an amount that is worthwhile. Do not be afraid (or miser) while paying what your watch deserves. If you want it, you got to pay for it!

• DO NOT buy anything more than is needed. The sole reason many people spend way excessively on their watch is that they end up buying a luxury watch that contains much more than is actually needed.

Ask yourself some basic questions. For instance, do you need an advanced chronograph? You’re here to buy a watch, not a chronograph, right? So why pay for those stupid extras?

• And finally, DO NOT buy online unless you’re entirely sure about the quality of the luxury watch.
