Femanons of /fa/, would you say that this is accurate?
there is not a single watchfag with above 90 IQ
>>18609249Most women only know Rolex, Casio and Apple from that list. Gold diggers will know Patek and AP. Women don't give a shit about watches unless they're deciding whether or not you're the guy to text when she's hungry and doesn't want to buy groceries.
>>18609358TRVKE
>>18609249this is the least convincing femanon roleplay image everwomen don't care about men's watches. it's like a guy having in-depth knowledge of female jewelry houses and stereotyping women who wear Boucheron or Tiffany. absurd
i like cartier :(

>>18609249Green is the brands i actually own, and grey are brands that are in my short list.What's my personality?
>>18610880What do you have against Longines, Baume, Sinn, Ball, Citizen and Zodiac?
>>18611353Oh boy, i'm glad you asked:>What do you have against LonginesThey are not luxury and will always be cope in my book. They know it themselves, that's how they are positionned not to be in competition against Omega within the Swatch group. Longines is to Rolex/Omega what Longchamps is to Hermes handbags, it's a cope when you can't afford real luxury. I don't like the identity of the brand, i don't like the invicta logo, i don't like their designs. >Baume & MercierIt feels like a womens brand to me. The designs are outdated and give off "mall watch", their use of roman numerals on modern dials especially is bad taste (i'm ok with roman numerals on something traditional tho).>Sinn I don't like the brand identity and the whole "we germons we are ze most efficient", like fuck off. There's a difference between bauhaus minimalism (which i'm ok with) and just globohomo minimalism. That's the worst side of german identity. Also, the name is bad luck, it's pronounced "sin" like an actual sin (people often wrongly call it "zinn").>Ball see picrel, terrible design, terrible logo, especially on the seconds hand wtf, dial too busy because they feel the need to write a lot of shit on it, not luxury finishing (see the difference between the brushed bracelet and the shiny dial, bad integration). The brand and its history have no cred to me.>Citizen I don't see a situation where i would buy a Citizen over a Seiko. The name doesn't even have the quality to sound japanese. The designs are very "mall watch" too.>ZodiacThe serial killer association, i feel that it would bring bad luck as well. And the designs are meh anyways
>>18611372Also on the Ball what does "official RR standard" even mean? Is it RailRoad standard? It makes zero sense.
>>18611373The Railroad Standard was a chronometric standard like COSC, meant to be applied for watches and clocks used on american trains and stations after bad quality clocks caused two stations to "go out of synch" , run trains at the wrong times and resulted in a head-on collision between two locomotives.
>>18609249>implying hermes, longines, bucherer, ebel, mido, certina, oris, alpina, doxa, movado, laco, panerai aren't fully brown guy tierno passport detected>>18611372nobody thinks longines is a luxury watch, it's ok to overthink things but key word here is "think" which you skipped, what planet are you on? also citizen is what you graduate to after you realize grand seiko is mallcore
jesus christ imagine not knowing that watch accuracy used to be a critical technology for railroad safety, kill all zoomers
>>18611449>forever ago when frontier was still a thing and dinosaurs weren't extinct yet this thing was critical or something! this means you HAVE to know this zoomie!bro i can just pull out my phone and get the most accurate time ever
>>18611479If you are going to go into a watch argument and start posting walls of text about your elite opinions on whoreology then yeah, you'd better know the bare minimum and knowing watches were important in the rail era is pretty much bare minimum, you're welcome to fuck off to /g/ and argue about hua wei lagdroid roms if this is too much to ask
>>18611482watches are literally a fashion accessory nobody cares about muh horology lmao
>>18611485>nobody cares about horology>posts a wall of text longer than the main wikipedia article about star warsbackpedaling so soon?
>>18611373>>18611377>>18611449Well, first, only Ball seem to use this shitty certification.And two, if they want to bank on this, at last make models that look somewhat technical or pratical, like a railmaster or a pelagos, not those shitty boomer bling watches with overstuffed dials.
>>18611493you're trying to apply aerospace ideals to steam requirements. from a modern consumer standpoint that would make the most sense, catering to a fictionalized version of history that speaks effectively to people raised on iphones and tiktok, but peak railroad era design grammar was a lot more "boomer bling" than "practical" to use your words. try to understand that people in 1890 didn't think about modern memes like "cognitive workload", the important thing was to be in sync a day later not sub-second snap decisions like a pilot would need to do. if you have an interest in timekeeping history you'd know this but I don't fault you for your ignorance, only your overconfidence
>>18611499>minute repeatersexoooooo
>>18611499That watch looks nothing like what they do now.Except the "embellishment" of the seconds hand. If it's a core feature of the brand, fine. But the rest of their modern watches, the 6 lines of text and the overall design are pretty trash imo.
>>18611517More backpedaling. I don't even like ball, but if you're going to criticize at least come up with real criticisms?
picrel is fine, you understand the brand, you know what it's about, you actually see the heritage. But the rest of the brand looks like garbage.
>>18611524Looks like a Breguet rip-of
