No, I think quite the opposite. You could instead introduce him to some unique things related to the Silk Road or brought by the Silk Road, like black tea. I believe almost everyone has had black tea, such as Darjeeling or Ceylon, which came from the Silk Road. These don't necessarily show your love for the Silk Road, although I don't deny that wearing a collaborative watch can indicate that. For example, I might buy some NASA-related items. More often, I think these objects with stories can better reflect my experiences and qualities. But more importantly, when you find yourself in awkward situations, like being alone with a stranger of the opposite sex, you can tell interesting stories to ease the tension and open up topics. Generally speaking, this will increase the other person's favor towards you.

@@BlueLightning1988 - The only person of the opposite sex I'm going to have an uncomfortable conversation with is my *_wife,_* and she's going to ask me why I care enough about the Silk Road to wear a watch dedicated to it. I'm not going to tell her it's because we have tea in the cupboard. I'd rather adorn myself with things I find personal interest in. You mention NASA, and I'd honestly be infinitely more likely to wear a NASA watch than a Silk Road watch, because I am fascinated by space. I have watched countess documentaries about our solar system. I have never watched a single documentary about the Silk Road.
