You take your Blancpain out when you quickly must go.
BP like British Petroleum, BP for Blancpain.
It’s more my admiration for Blancpain that i wil think quick of it.
Blancpain is delicate, outside of the Fifty Fathoms, BP is more for the special occasions.
The boy you met, he thought of Invicta when looking your IWC, that is an odd situation you was in i guess.
I know Invicta through the internet, a low budget mass market watch brand that appeal to for example the boy who ask you.
I hope the guy wil explore more watches, and maybe he wil end up like us all.
If i tell you what i had on my wrist in my life, i was not different than he.
Cheap and expensive, i liked almost every watch i had.
And when i am honest, I like the brands under the Richemont umbrella very much.
Some under the Swatch group umbrella, like BP, Omega, Longines etc.

This isn't an IWC but I sure do like it a lot. ...
Maybe he was thinking of this watch

I had no idea Invicta made watches that looked "real", I thought they were all big and sparkling with ghastly fake gold ...
I know I'm in the minority but I like my Pro Diver.

It's a good gateway watch. You can beat it up all you want and you'll never kill it. It looks good. It has a Seiko movement that you can see...even if it's not beautiful or decorated it gets you interested in the inner workings of watches. And did I say a...

You have nothing to feel awkward about (though I tend to feel awkward in that same way).

A calm, courteous response. Who knows, you may have planted the seed that starts his own horological journey. Now that’s something to smile about. He might even discover this place!! 😀👍🏻
Very well said, I never considered that!

If he didn’t know IWC before, then that could have been a spark leading him to learn about a cool brand. That’s a positive thought 🙏🏽
Yep!

to destroy a young man’s life by introducing him to high-end watches.
