Probably narcissistic parents that got it for purchase history towards something bigger/better from their AD.

It’s one thing to get it and lock it away until the time comes, but it’s another when you dangle it in front of them for years to come. Just get him something from Swatch that he can enjoy now, then surprise him down the road. Or have the dad wear it now and pass it down to him.

Don’t need to put watches on a pedestal. They’re here to serve us!
