How the fuck am I supposed to know what watch to buy when there are literally 1 billion different models and brands of watch which all look the fucking same?When I look in the window of a jewellery store I see loads of generic watches but I just know that if I just pick one I like the look of, thousands of people are going to come out of the woodwork to call me a faggot and a poorI can't go to Tiktok, Youtube, r*eddit, or any website for actual advice because every single person who has ever written an article or produced a video on watches is an insufferable bald onions funkopop collecting cuck who unironically recommends buying something which costs the same as a new car as "entry level" when my phone tells the time just as good.If I go to /o/ people will unironically give good advice like "buy a toyota camry" or something. Watchfags are like "just save up until you get get a Rolex oyster unlimited perpetual submariner with a swiss cheese movement they're only $28,000"
>>18746301>How the fuck am I supposed to know what watch to buyIt's called having taste and personal style, retard. And if you are too much of a pussy to wear what you want without worrying about random people's opinions, then you don't belong on a fashion board.
>>18746301Don't show your watch here if you're sensitive. But should you choose to, NEVER, EVER give a fuck what these stupid retards think of your watch. It really is as simple as just buying whatever looks good to you. Ignore the Rolex posting snobs. They definitely do not represent the majority of the watch-wearing, watch-buying community. Statistically they are a tiny minority even if there are like four of them on this board. They're very vocal here but that also tells you they're huge fucking losers. What kind of rich, successful, happy person would spend his time looking down on people for ONLY paying several hundred dollars for a wrist clock? lol, just think about that when you read their pathetic insults.And keep in mind it's a strong possibility the watch is a replica anyway.
>>18746301>ecommends buying something which costs the same as a new car as "entry level"Your image is doing the opposite of that though. You can get some sweet watches for $250. Detach your brain from the illogical, snobby suggestions of luxury brands and remember what a Timex or a Casio costs and then realize that for something that just tells you what time it is, $250 sounds rather steep. Get a quartz watch you think looks good and never come back here again and you'll be very happy. Once you open yourself up to insults and let them bother you they've won. It's not about the watch at all. It's about theirs and your insecurities. Never let these fags get to you.
>>18746301>How the fuck am I supposed to know what watch to buy when there are literally 1 billion different models and brands of watch which all look the fucking same?Watches are just a way to display wealth, that's all male jewelry is. Buy a visibly expensive rolex or don't wear one at all, anything else just makes you look like a poor nerd.
>>18746319lol, no. You're one of those fake snob trolls and OP is not going to listen to your bullshit.
>>18746301If you want a quality watch the first thing you do is learn what the meaning of "chronometer" is and how that's determined. Then look at companies that offer those and learn a bit of their histories to see who's still legit and who's been bought by private equity and are just faking it now. Once you've spent that 15 minutes of research you can look at the offerings of the company you like best, choose the watch you like out of that and wear it with pride. Fuck anybody else that doesn't agree with you.
>>18746301What your budget, you wrist size and your style (casual or not)?
>>18746320t. poor nerd letting everyone around know they're a poor nerd
>>18746301Watches are one of the few accessories/jewelry that men can traditionally wear. A man needs a watch to be considered a working member of society, getting your first watch when you're a teen is a rite of passage.Watches are functional precision instruments, they keep you organized and literally on time throughout the day, this is the reason quartz (watches) still exist.As you progress in life you want to signal your elevated social status with a finer timepiece, something more than a mere timekeeper. In this stage of life time is not essential, you don't need to be in your wagie cage within the second. That is why people acquire, or as I like to say, meet mechanical timepieces. Watches such as Omega, Tudor and Rolex.In a professional or any environment with affluent males, your watch is your Curriculum Vitae, your rank in a way. People will know you had to go further in life than your average poorfaggot mathlete to acquire a fine Patek for example.Now I don't know your age, but could you imagine being over 25 and wearing a wagie poorfag incel seething bitter faggot lardass brainlet quartz watch in a serious environment? I don't think so, you'll be giving yourself away as a absolute loser in life and people will think there's something seriously wrong with you and wonder why you're even there with your cheap shitter piece of shit nasty crusty chinese watch.Trust me, you don't want to be part of the quartz horde. Join the ranks of the men with sophistication and class and meet your mechanical watch. Discard your nasty wagie faggot ass piece of shit computer chip "watch".
>>18746301>I'm so poor and retarded I'm too poor and retarded to even know how poor and retarded I actually amI shortened your post up for you
>>18746320How's the food at the soup kitchen today?
>>18746395>Tooter>Calling others poor Can I get a QRD on this new meme?
>>18746401bruh that's just my work beater. post yours, if you even own anything >you won't cool, moving on
>>18746405Won’t post what?>Uh…I don’t like that, though, so it doesn’t countJust spare us all.
>>18746301Why do you need a watch when I saw that your home already has a clock anon?
>>18746406lmfao rekt
>>18746301>they're only $28,000For some people $28K is a lot of money (me).For other people $2.8K is a lot of money (kinda me too).For other people $1.4K is a lot of money.For other people $280 is a lot of money.For other people $28 is a lot of money.It's not a $28K "rich" watch owners vs $28 "poor" watches owners. It's a spectrum. Where are you on this spectrum?
>>18746406FINALLY someone with a bank account Cheers, great piece
>>18746414>Cheers, great pieceThanks. Now, a request: stop acting like a snobby prick. It’s low-class and makes all of us look bad. Punching down is never funny.
>>18746415The fact that you need to spell this out is part of the reason /wt/ is completely dead. These jerkoffs never try flexing on non-anonymous forums because they’re terrified of getting stomped by someone richer.
>>18746415My Tudor pic was my first post in this thread. I was just walking by a homeless encampment of hobos screaming and kvetching already, throwing feces up onto the bridge, and I flicked a penny into one of their tents to watch them go even crazier. I'm hardly the instigator here.>>18746416No one talks like this cesspool of a website on a non anonymous forum. Quit acting like this is some sacred, respectable, mature arena. The OP post would be insta deleted by mods on any other forum
>>18746319>>18746330>>18746381>>18746395>>18746406>>18746414Wog one, boss MANS
>>18746425Hahaha based asshole. I bet they even believed your rep 222 was gen! And you were like “this rep still costs more than your AliExpress shitters! Hahahahahaha!!!”
>>18746416Some people want to be able to honestly discuss watches without worrying about the feelings of people who own those watches.Others just want this place to be a sewer.Maybe I’ve just been here too long, but Mortadello (as annoying as he was) or Reverso Anon were both wealthy but never flexed and made fun of people with less money. They were also the least conscious of making sure other users believed that they were rich.
>>18746301Just buy what you like and and looks nice to you retard, 95% of people irl won't even notice your watch anyways unless they're some watch nerd.
>>18746436>unless they're some watch nerd.In which case you won’t want to talk to them anyway.
>>18746414Nice rep, poorfag.Btw your LV box is very low class, very gauche. Are you black?
>>18746433>Maybe I’ve just been here too longYou should know better then....half the "you're poor" posts aren't even made by the people with the actual expensive watches. It's people trolling pretending to be the other anons. Sometimes the kvetching and screeching is so insane, that there's an OP thread that's literally just poor REEEING (this one exactly). Like I said, I'll post a pic of a Tudor or something just to throw a firecracker into the raging bonfire as I walk by, because it's par for the course. I'm just matching the environment, and this place is a music festival portopotty covered in puke and liquid shit (literal shit in the other /wt/ thread)
>>18746439>LV box is very low class, very gauche. Are you black?Nah, it was a present from a boss who knew I was into watches. I kinda dig it honestly, it has design flaws and is a fun conversation piece. It's like the AliX of watch boxes. Not everything is meant to be serious.
>>18746445>gets called out>nah, I’m above it all, don’t take it too seriously.Mostly, you’re just a coward. You were bullied terribly as a child. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
>>18746445> it has design flaws and is a fun conversation piece. It's like the AliX of watch boxes. Not everything is meant to be serious.On the contrary, i feel like you're the only one taking all of this very seriously
Lol I meant taking the watch box seriously You guys are trying too hard
>>18746439whyd you buy all those ugly watches?
>>18746395how do you get over the Tudor logo laughing at you for being poor though?
>>18746301don't buy an expensive watch, its not worth it. I have a client who makes 10 million a year, he wears a casio as his daily. Who does he need to impress? So that's the actual rich guy ethos.
>>18746472Bro, they are Fabrice Paul Journé watches, they are worth 70K each
>>18746474>Who does he need to impress?Why does everyone harp on this? I'm sure some people are trying to peacock to others.... But to assume that's everyones sole motivation to buy an expensive watch is really conceited.
>>18746486>Why does everyone harp on this?Because people don't seem to learn the lesson.It seems like every other week some newfag shows up, posts a pic of his watch, and expects everyone ITT to give him (You)s and declare that he's based. And every single time, either no one responds or they tease him. Then he spends the next couple weeks to months (even years, if they're severely disabled) getting mad as fuck and trolling the thread and calling everyone poor.It doesn't matter if the watch cost a lot of money to you personally. There's always someone richer. For a perfect example, in this thread, >>18746395 tried to show off and he immediately got swatted down by >>18746406. From there on, the guy got pissy and defensive and posted a fake LV box and a fake VC 222 as an attempt to prove that he's not actually "poor".Buy the watch that you like with the mindset that only you will ever like that watch. That way, you won't feel compelled to try to get into an competition that is unwinnable because it exists entirely in your own head.
>>18746488The LV box was already in his original tudor postAnd how do we know the VC 222 is fake? Why is every expensive watch here assumed to be a fake? You seem to be irrationally conflating the defensive mentality with some kind of "poverty is a virtue" mentality
>>18746488>It seems like every other week some newfag shows up, posts a pic of his watch, and expects everyone ITT to give him (You)s and declare that he's based. And every single time, either no one responds or they tease him. Then he spends the next couple weeks to months (even years, if they're severely disabled) getting mad as fuck and trolling the thread and calling everyone poor.It's not that they don't learn the lesson. Everyone thinks that they (and their watches) are special and will be the exception to the rule. That's why they always get so angry.
>>18746488By this "logic" then the moser and cie and any watch over $1k is fake>the guy got pissy and defensiveHow? He said cheers and complimented the other guy I think this place has warped your brain
>>18746488>It seems like every other week some newfag shows up, posts a pic of his watch, and expects everyone ITT to give him (You)s and declare that he's based.BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS ON REDDIT
>>18746516Why are you screaming? And why would anyone insist that behavior common on one website be the same everywhere else?
>>18746514The Moser is not a fake. That guy has posted it before and has posted movement shots.
>>18746520It's a behavior common in the mentally normal world.>Gathering of enthusiasts of XXX>Have nice XXX>Share XXX>"Oh anon, nice XXX"This is the normal behavior in any enthusiast group, whether it's cars, rare books or animu figurines, or whatever else.The normal behavior is not saying POORFAG or SHITTERS and posting your turds as an answer.
>>18746522Anon, the point of being anonymous is exactly so we can be critical of a watch without having to worry about hurting someone's feelings.In the normal world if someone posts a watch, you say "Nice watch" even if you, personally don't like it.If you're anonymous, you can say, "I don't like the hands" or "It's too thick" or "The finishing is crude" or whatever. You can actually express your honest opinion. That's exactly why, if you're the type of person who cannot handle any criticism whatsoever, you should never post your own watch. Some people cannot handle honestyI'll wager that the vast majority of the ones screaming about poorfags and shitters are guys who posted their watches and received either mild criticism or, worse, no reaction at all. They're just sticking around to ruin everyone else's experience
>>18746524>I'll wager that the vast majority of the ones screaming about poorfags and shitters are guys who posted their watches and received either mild criticism or, worse, no reaction at all.I'm fairly certain 95% of troll posts here are people that don't even own a watch
>>1874653299.99% posts on /fit/ are made be people who have never done a pushup in their life this entire website is a demoralization dungeon
>>18746485ok, but why would you spend 70K each on those ugly watches?
>>18746488>It doesn't matter if the watch cost a lot of money to you personally. There's always someone richer. I had a client come in last week with a steel royal oak and then a client came in with some other AP that was limited edition something or other that cost like 100K more. OP just buy a watch you will wear. If you run in fancy circles you may need to buy a fancy watch to avoid getting made fun of but getting made fun of isnt that big of a deal, honestly. I wear a casio and I get made fun of for it by some people but oh well my wife is hotter. Its all a circle.
>>18746301I know i will like a watch when i make this face in front of my screen. Then i check the specs and so on.I almost only bought watches that gave me this feeling when i see them for the first time.
>>18746541>If you run in fancy circles you may need to buy a fancy watch to avoid getting made fun ofEven in the fanciest circles, the most common watch will be no watch at all. The second most common watch will be an Apple watch.
don't buy watches in high hundreds-low thousands, thats where the true shitters lie
can any of you guys post your watch next to a glass of chocolate milk
>>18746654I don't have any choccy milk anon...
>>18746301Just buy a Grand Seiko with 9S65There, that wasn't so hard was it?
>>18746301>this watch looks cool>search for reviews>5000000 videos that look gay as fuck>lose all interest in that watch
>>18746395Again that sad picture of the watch you paid too much for that doesn't do anything special yet makes you feel above sensible people.You are so pathetic.
>>18746472Are you not impressed? They don't need to look nice when they cost so much. Notice the reply was "they're $70,000, BRO.", completely sidestepping their extreme ugliness. And then to get the same shit 8 or 9 times.... too funny.Proving once again that money can't buy taste.
Only immature and insecure people are concerned with money. Especially on an anonymous forum like this. If someone calls you "poor" because of your watch, he's very insecure in his life and likely hates himself. No one with joy in his life ever tore anyone down needlessly.
>>18746330A quartz timex is more accurate and shock/vibration/orientation resistant than the most expensive rolexMechanical watches are nerd jewelry. Nothing else. No one cares except for a small entirely male, entirely nerdy, and 75%+ gay demographic where the last 25% is all suburban boomers that think they are impressively wealthy because they have a lien on a BMW. But the suburban boomers also extend into the gay segment.People who just want to tell time without looking retarded or looking at their phone just buy whatever cheap quartz watch looks cool on them.
>>18746301Find watches that have the functional utility you want, then pick the best looking out of those.
>>18746488Its really, just how animals act. It is irrational animal behavior. Pure instinct, totally thoughtless impulse. Like birds flashing plumage at each other. People have to make the conscious decision to keep acting human, and eventually, we all fail for a moment and behave like this. >ook look grug have the shiny that mean grug great
>>18746736or it's just too hard to resist how insanely easy it is to stir the pot. it's like saying nigger with a hard R, everyone chimps out and you can sit back and watch the building get burned down. It's amazing how you guys keep typing these blogs about how insensitive or immature or whatever it is to flaunt money in the face of poors, and you still haven't figured out that 99% of the time it's just bullshit trolling
>>18746301Watches are gay as fuck. Wearing an earring is unironically less gay these days
>>18746524>If you're anonymous, you can say, "I don't like the hands" or "It's too thick" or "The finishing is crude" or whateverIs that what happens here though? Cause it seems to me that the watch threads are full of schizos literally posting pictures of their shit in the toilet. Here's your benefit of being anonymous bro LOL
>>18746788>im rich i have a watch>its just trolling br->shown up immediately>NONONO IM RICH I HAVE FAKE LVTrolling doesn’t involve publicly humiliating yourselfBuying a watch to show off is basically spending five grand to come in 2nd or 3rd at best. Literally paying to lose. Kek.
>>18746908>Buying a watch to show off is basically spending five grand to come in 2nd or 3rd at best. Literally paying to lose. Kek.The poor reveals himself again through his complete inability to grasp that some people can throw 5 grand on something without a second thought. Even your destitute mind can probably grasp something like buying a disposable plastic bag for your groceries, it's like that.
>>18746872No it's not, you're delusional
>>18746896>the watch threads are full of schizos literally posting pictures of their shit in the toiletI don't understand the problem >>18746908>publicly humiliating yourselfdoesn't even make sense, I guess that's trailer trash education for ya. the only people humiliated are the poors (you)
>>18746301Watch this and get educated, little bro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdJkqGo_9Qk
>>18746406dabbed on that nigga holy fuck
g shock is the only watch you need. anything else is mostly gravy for richfags to buy when their bonus hits. buy a house and a car first, it's just gay to have an expensive watch before either of those.
>>18746919I think (you) are. Watches today are useless but Chuds still wear them because "it's the only jewel a man can wear" blah blah blah or some stupid rule
>>18746414>I posted my replica again!
>>18747073imagine taking life so seriously that adornments others put on their body trigger you, and you have to throw around words like "jewelry" like it's some kind of insult. what's actually useless are human beings yet here we all are
I sold my Rolex daydate, sold my speedmaster, and now I wear a 'gold' casio as the daily and im much happier. I have a tank if I need to be 'fancy' but otherwise it sits in a drawer. Ymmv
>>18747077You didn't get it at all, I wear jewelry, watches are just plain ugly. Cool people, rockstars and shit, usually don't wear them, it's just normie Reddit nerds that do
I associate Rolex with BIPOCs and small Swiss makes with whites. Sorry. Just how I feel. Rich people don’t flex brands they flex secret brands nobody has.
>>18747086>muh secret brandsLike Omega
>>18747091or Parmigiani Fleurier
>>18747092>>18747091Literally 99/100 people on the street will not know those brands
>>18747095fuck 99/100 people on the streetfuck the street itself
>>18747085>Cool people, rockstars and shitexcept you're neither of those things
>>18747101Tell the other faggots they're not kings neither
>>18747103It's best said with turds. Show us your daily turd, sicko.
>>18747106Something is wrong in your head man
>>18747085>watches are just plain ugly>ignores all the other watches posted in this threadmaybe don't wear a g shock?
>>18746406Heyyy what watch is that? So my dad gave me 200 dollars for a watch and I am considering orient bambino but your watch looks cool too. Where can I buy it? Cuz I can't find it on Amazon
>>18747124It's a limited edition Breitling on leather
yall bitter n yo watches shittersget dabd on fags lmaofoo
>>18746301I'm sick and tired of watches. The "passion" has died as suddenly and unexpectedly as it began. "twas fun while it lasted though. See you chuckleheads in hell.
