    Default Car Salesmen & watches...

    Why do car Salesmen wear stupidly oversized watches?

    Is it part of the job description or something

    To show off that they are the biggest ass hat in the dealership
    Then again, even in engineering the managers are slipping towards silly watches, makes it easier to pitch it low tech to them

    Don't think it's car salesman specific, estate agents love a big watch. Personally I think it's an ego status thing with people in hard sales because you need to have a certain type of personality to do that line of work, you'll see a lot of big watches on the apprentice along with the cunts wearing them

    And the posh suits and shiney expensive shoes, just says to me that anything they are selling is more expensive than it needs to be to factor in their hefty comisson.

    It's to stop you from seeing how big their wrists are with all the self wrist muscle exercises these people do. In my honest opinion these big watches, skinny suits (leggings and undersized jacket) and women's shiny shoes look chavvy rather than classy on men and whilst it is each to thier own and all that, they think it makes them look cool but really it just makes them look effeminate.
