I have never seen a single watch thread on biz even though it does qualify as a financial investment and holds value quite well.Discuss what you’re buying, Im Tempted by a Sea master at the moment.also link any useful website / video related to watches
>>62242323There’s been lots of watch threads but they trigger Janny for some reason so they don’t last long.Omega will forever be the “not a Rolex” brand. Truly the Pepsi of watches.
>>62242459I like Omega precisely bc it's not Rolex. Every retard wears a Rolex.
Nice jewelry, queer.
>>62242469You like Omega out of cope because you couldn't afford a Rolex. My dad has an omega, I have a 2024 Daytona Cosmograph, he has the same type of cope
>>62242469If you’re going to be a watch hipster, you should go all the way and get a Grand Seiko.
>>62242459Pic rel is truly the pepsi of watches though.
Nothing personal, dorks

>>62242323True story. i once was delighted too, to own such things. I sold them all. I realized that money makes me more money anywhere else than on my wrist. You are a nigger, aren't you?
I quite like this watch
>>62242323poor person spottedconsoom goy, if your watch is not 6438186168 dollars you should kill yourself>>62242735this guy gets it

>>62243228>the point of wealth is status and always has beenAs a watchfag, I have to say this is an India-tier take. Agency is the point of wealth.
>>62243239agency and leisure time are status signals tooindians are the retards that believe pic related
>>62242323watches peaked years ago, its all down hill from now
>>62242323>Sea masterNever heard of them until now, looks nice. I can see the practical value of a watch but I'm not cashing out to buy stuff just yet.
>>62242646>officially certified patent pending superlaxative oyster chronometer or somethingboomers are so easy to trick
>>62243272poor people (you) are obsessed with the idea that rich people are getting "tricked" when they buy luxury items and that the poor person in question (you) knows something that they don'tobviously everyone knows there is no utility a watch can offer that is worth 40k, no one is getting "tricked"
>>62243228> the point of wealth is statusWoman spotted. Dump it all to zero.
>>62243251Thank you for proving my point; your pic shows that “status signaling” is Jeet behavior. But watches are still neat. For me, it’s the precision of engineering and economy of space that make watches interesting.
Women are attracted to status. All jewelry exists to display status. This is why men wear jewelry. A watch is no different than earings and chains.
>>62243336> This is why men wear jewelryMen do not. Takes a while.
>>62243272>absolutely seethingMeanwhile I don't think about poorfag at all

>>62243426If you think you can only make an impact with your watch, you might be on the wrong board.I only replied because of the (you)I could write books about this.
You don't need watches if you're a real man
>>62243426If your impact is is having a watch, you wrong here.
>>62243439>>62243564the point isn't even about watches you stupid fagyou are nowhere near as smart as you think you are
I mean, if you bought a rolex this year, theres a chance it might be a collectors item some day considering rolly's sales numbers have been tanking.
>>62242323For me it’s Zenith
>>62242486only jeets buy Rolex in 2026. you are the one coping here.
I have a daily wear citizen eco-drive. I used to think I wanted a rolex submariner, I even saved up for it, before realizing I had too many watches already and I didnt care about wearing my wealth.I live in a relatively safe city, but if I didn't, Id be constantly worried about wild niggers stealing my watch for weed and scratchers money.
>>62242323finna buy a submariner or some shieet
>>62242323nice watches seem to always have metal wrist straps and ive got pretty hairy wrists. just feels like im gonna have hairs caught in that shit every time i take it off.
>>62243733AP NIGGA AP
>>62242323Richard mille or nothing
>>62243260https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcpRbnm8p4IA lot of good info in this channel. Funny enough the Casio is also mentioned.
>>62242323>no bussdown >he joint aint bussin >he a broke ahh plain Jane ahh nigga >he ain't shinin If yo watch ain't got VVS diamonds you broke. Paid 25 bands for my jointGet ur paper up boi
>>62244040That font is sus no cap.
i bought a rolex submariner in 2018 with my tron TRX gains when i was 26I wore it one year and half and now it's sitting in a corner of my condo taking the dust it just remembers good memories because i bought it in Colombia and i was there with my best friend having the time of our lives but thats itwhen i wear it sometimes during summer or to go to the restaurant i feel like a douchebagdont buy a watch kiddo
>>62242323I wish the chinks would make a 1:1 copy of the QUARTZ brosnan seamenmaster Been waiting yearsNo I'm not paying 7k for a crusty used 30 year old watch
I've got some old watch I got from amazon years ago. all scratched up, paints gone, but it tells the time. most people I know don't wear watches now, but I carry on the torchalso NATO strap supremacy, fite me
>>62242323Watches are a scam, they're not rare, not difficult to make and there's nothing special about the ones most people collect and think have value. You can get a japanese miyota movement which will be on par with any of the name brands for $35. You can get a swiss ETA movement which will be the same as the miyota for $350. Most boutique brands shove the ETA movment inside a custom case and add a 10-20x markup. The only thing a few of the name brands do is take that basic movment design and make it in house. It's not like a ferrari where you're getting their own specially engineered V12 motor, here your rolex is still the same 4 cylinder shitheap inside a corolla except it says rolex instead of toyota. It's not until you start getting into watches that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars where you can say the movement is unique and actually rare.And if you wear any of these watches then the value goes back to the value of scrap metal because they get dinged up instantly.
>>62242323I have no value for them and I'd rather put that money to work for me. I can understand throwing a few hundred for something that tells the time because it looks good and is nicely engineered (even though I still won't wear one); more than that it's status signalling for jeets, goyim and yes, wealthy people because they fall for status signalling too.Not very different from Funko dolls wagie goyim love except watches less stupid.
>>62242323/thread
>>62244561I would get a smartwatch if they werent so fucking ugly and if it wasn't an ankle monitor for your wrist.
>>62244561That hits hard.But picrel hits harder.
>>62243835Thanks, I always like getting more insight before purchasing something.
>>62242323Let me guess, you "need" more?
Let me guess, you need more
>>62242459Rolex is the brown watch
>>62243595They don't know lol
I like G-shocks. Theyre the working man's luxury watch.I currently wear a baby-g that I fished from a thrift store and replaced the battery in it. It looks like it was left in the sun for literal years.
My Vostok Amfibia broke the spring some time ago (after ~50yrs of use) and since it's really worn out I looked at something new. My old Casio Illuminator (A168 I believe) in the drawer had a dead battery. So I went for a Timex Solar and I'm pretty happy with it. There's something nice about it's simplicity, and it goes well with any kind of getup.I never really understood the idea of pouring money into stuff like a common Rolex, unless you're going for an artisan complication watch where the mechanism itself is a masterpiece.Rolex puts you in a wannabe-rich category.
>>62242486I just don't like rolex, sorry.
I wear an old Hamilton khaki field watch. I think it's nice enough, and not completely over priced.
>>62243744oh yeah lol
>>62242323I wear the new Air King.
>>62248073How much did it run you?
I have a Patek Calatrava from the 60's, bought it for 5k a decade ago, probably worth over 10k now.As elegant as it looks, it feels foolish to wear so much money on your wrist, just to impress every 10th older man who is a collector. Just finna sell that shit desu.
>>62242323top signal
>>62248074$8200 including tax. I think msrp on them is about that now.
>>62248077It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but yes, Rolex is going down in sales. It used to be considered a legitimate investment to buy one, even at current year. Now? Theyre having more trouble than ever selling them.
>>62248073Based I have one too.
>>62248076That sounds like a kino watch. If you can’t geek out on a watch like that by yourself, and instead are thinking about impressing others, then you are a filthy casual. To atone for your plebbitry, you ought to give your watch to a trve WatchFag such as myself. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>62248093It depends on the model I think. If you could score a Bruce wayne at msrp, you could immediately resell it that day on the gray market for 9k profit.
Thoughts?
>>62248096Right on, King! Stay classy.
>>62248102Its a marketing ploy, watches do this all the time. I also personally really dislike the 3 inner dials design unless it includes a chronometer.
>>62248102I am an Omega hater, but I do like their Swatch collabs. Feels honest.
>>62248102>sneedmastersdo they know?
>>62248112>>62248109>>62248108Ya…it has terrible reviews…thought of it something slightly cooler than just the timex/casio option without being too pretentious
>>62248116Do a little research and you can find something better. You ever look at Seiko/GS?
>>62248116>le reviews
>>62248102That's a pretender, pic related is the real deal. Flown to the moon and back and the movement was actually used in the onboard instrumentation. Predating quartz watches, this thing is such high frequency that the sweep looks perfectly smooth to the naked eye.They don't have the technology to make them anymore.
>>62248122Naw don’t know anything about watches really…want to get one tho, what’s a good seiko/gs option?
Actually I would wear some of these if they released automatic versions using their robot made movements.
>>62248130Looks pretty cool, crazy how we lose the ability to make things…just like that Disney cgi cube thing the filmed marry poppins with…supposedly there was only 3, they don’t know what happened to them and they can’t make them anymore…weird
>>62248147Any GS with Spring Drive is absolute kínographie.>>62248150The point of collaborating with Swatch was for these to be accessible (i.e., quartz).
>>62248130the one that was on the moon looked like this>They don't have the technology to make them anymore.huhhttps://www.accutronwatch.com/us/en/product/26A211.html?cgid=spaceview-314
>>62248162>The point of collaborating with Swatch was for these to be accessible (i.e., quartz).Swatch makes cheap disposable automatics (sistem 51). They're not chronographs, but I'm sure they could make it happen if they really wanted (which they would never do since it would actually eat into smegma's market share.
>>62248167Wow they actually made new tooling, they couldn't make them a decade ago.>$6000 Yeah that explains it.
>>62248180Based WatchFag detected. Do you like cheap automatics? For me, it seems like quartz is superior when affordability is goal. If you’re going automatic, then it seems like you would want something n i c e, no?
Is the tissot prx the best watch under a grand?
>>62242323I'm investing heavily into the swatch x AP collab
>>62248207“Best” is a loaded term. The PRX is a kino watch (and it is very funny that Rolex ripped it off with le Land Dweller). I think it is uncontroversial to say the PRX is a top 3 <$1K watch. Also in the running are the Hamilton Khaki and the G-Shock.
>>62248218Is the automatic worth it over the quartz in your opinion?
>>62248269How much of a WatchFag are you? The quartz gives you the same external aesthetics as the automatic at a fraction of the cost. For normies, the external aesthetic is enough.But WatchFags will pay the premium for internal aesthetics.
>>62242323For me its the Garmin Forerunner 970.Battery lasts forever and i can track all my runs without needing my phone.Also it weighs like 50g and can do so fucking much more than any boomer piece of metal.
>>62242323Once I make it, I want to get a JLC Ultra Thin Moon Phase. Something romantic about following the phases of the moon.
>>62248319>Once I make it, I want to get aOnce I make it I don't give a fuck what the time is.
>>62248102>"bio-ceramic">it's just fucking plastic
this fag >>62248324 is right, its only exclusive to the plebs cause of price/status, "celebrities" probably get them for free
just buy an ap nigga thats what im going to do in like a day
>>62242323I picked up this badboy for 1600 euros. In a month it will be worth 20k
>>62242459I have 2 rollies but stopped wearing them because the only people who notice it are the worst kinds of people that I want nothing to do with. After downgrading to an omega that problem disappeared
>wearing a watch
>>62248311Not much of one…google ai said their automatic has some plastic parts in it which is looked down upon…changing batteries every once in a while doesn’t seem that bad…I like this one
>>62248130>the sweep looks perfectly smooth to the naked eye.Why are you gay?
>>62248468>In a month it will be worth 20kat best you'll get a head for it at some lgbt festival, not worth it imo
>>62248311>>62248529The automatic got the waffle dial which some prefer
>>62248395Rappers and their fans (who all wear chinese fakes) destroyed all prestige AP used to have. They’re like locusts who jump from brand to brand after destroying them. Next up they’ll probably destroy Pateks prestige
The only correct choice
>>62248586lmao are you trying to talk shit? stfu faggot
>>62248586It’s really hard to find (I had to buy the dvd) but the movie Branded is pretty trippy and worth a watch…all about marketing and brands and corporate warfare…I saw it in theaters in 2012 and I was the only one in the theater lol
Is it weird I never got into watches even though its supposed to be a guy's thing just because I fucking hate having something near my wrist
>>62248689no, you're just being called a nigger. Which you are, clearly...
>>62242469I find both of them quite ugly and chunky.Give me a nice Patek Phillipe any day. Those look classy. Or of course a Richard Mille, not that I'd ever spend that much money on a watch.
>>62248729Actually men wore pocket watches, wrist watches are for women…men just fell for the marketing and turned into faggots
>>62248704I wonder if ultra-luxury brands’ marketing departments actively try to get rappers to wear their competitors stuff to make actual wealthy people feel ashamed to buy wear it
