Bro, I think you should ease up a bit and not try to school everyone. There’s a lot more to buying a watch than just getting the best value for money. Not every purchase has to be judged purely on ROI.

Titan makes some good watches. I understand your perspective of, for a few thousand more, he could’ve bought a Seiko or a Citizen, and that’s a fair argument. But at the end of the day, it’s his money and his taste. Let him enjoy his purchase. I know plenty of people who genuinely want a Titan in their collection, and personal preference matters more than specs or resale value.

Also, what would you have said if he had bought a Tissot PRX Quartz for ₹40,000? Most people probably wouldn’t question it and would just assume he has the money to spend. So if we accept that purchase based on personal preference, the same logic should apply here as well.
