I'm sorry if I'm hostile but I just get irritated easily when people do this. Don't worry, my family's not poor, my dad earns at least £200,000 post-tax annually without private fees (he's a Dr), but he doesn't buy me £3000 watches. For my 18th I got nothing, but I do prefer it that way anyway. I'm gonna side with Jehovah here, I don't really like the idea of just buying people things for their birthday. I'd rather have someone do something that meant something to them, if anything, for my birthday.
The bottom line is that I hope you've had fun showing off your watch. I think it's fair to say that that is what you were doing... I don't think I would have been compelled to post a topic about watches when I purchased my Timex.
Showing off is something we all do, I'm sure, and mostly it's a bad habit. It's worse when you didn't work one bit for the thing you're showing off though.
