I had a business associate point out once how my mont blanc watch didn't have its own movement.
Singapore is an interesting place in this regard. We had several young guys in our office who wore $10k plus watches while still living with their parents.
There is a chance he was trying to help you and not be condescending to you. I am not a watch person, but even I know that Mont Blanc, kind of like Beats Audio, is not really known for their fine craftsmanship in watches. They're more about marketing, like Beats.
