You could have a point there. A carpet may be ok for those men who rarely stay in their own apartment. Yes, the jet-setter types. If so, the carpet will not get so dirty, and he could have it cleaned every few months or so anyway.

I don't really like carpet though and it's not suitable for climates like like Pattaya, Queensland, Australia, or sunny California where Fifi lives. I know in these hot places we have air-con but like Fifi said this will spread the dirty micro-fibres all over the place. Tiles or timber floors for Queensland, Pattaya, California.

In England I can understand why carpet may still be the go though. Yes, as far as luxury watches go tiled floors can be a problem. Yep, the heavier the more likely to get scratched and cracked if dropped.

Heard the jade story before. Another rip-off in China. Jade is not rare, there are mountainsides of it in various locations in Asia. A jade bracelet is worth nothing remotely close to 60,000 dollars.

Chinese, stupid enough to pay a huge amount for something that has no value.
