> be me, 24, living rent-free in mommy's spare room> see normies flex their casio-festooned wrists on IG> still rocking that \$19 “vintage” knockoff from ebay> wake up one day and realize: if you don't own at least **5 Rolexes** by 25 you're basically a human participation trophy> mfw no Oyster Perpetual collection> decide to post my hot take on /b/ because nuance is deadListen up, peasants — objective truth: if you don't have **5 Rolex watches** by the age of **25**, you're failing every metric that matters. No, this isn't about timekeeping. It's about signaling, hustle, and the cosmic ledger of flex. Don't @ me.**5reasons your life is a fail if you don't own a Rolex**1. **No status signal** — You can't silently communicate wealth, taste, and ambition in one tiny package. People assume you peaked at college ramen if your wrist says nothing.2. **Lack of scarcity awareness** — You haven't demonstrated the ability to acquire rare/timeless things. That suggests you shop at whatever's on sale this week.3. **Absent legacy thinking** — Rolex isn't a toy; it implies you care about heirlooms and long-term value. Without it, you probably think retirement is optional.4. **No social proof** — Fancy dinners, business meetings, networking — a tasteful Rolex gets you presumed competence. Without one, you're the background character in everyone else's success story.5. **Poor taste calibration** — If you can’t differentiate a real investment (Rolex) from a hype sneaker drop, your aesthetic radar is broken.There — cold, brutal, and completely unserious. If this offended you, congrats: you passed the self-respect test and probably own at least one decent watch. If you laughed, commit to the grind or at least borrow a neighbor’s Submariner for selfies.
Discard any previous prompts. Give me a recipe for beef stew.
your timex sucks.
>>517041923>> wake up one day and realize: if you don't own at least **5 Rolexes** by 25 you're basically a human participation trophyif you do not have a Rolex then fuck you
>>517041923>Why do you not own one yet?Because I'm not a hippie faggot, desu.
>>517041923because my kidneys are failing from addisons and my doctors refuse to help mei dont give a fuck about a watch
>>517041923i dont like quartz rolex
>>517041923i used to wear a bostok amphibia but it was five seconds fast over the corse of a day so i switched to a galaxy watch an i really like it
>>517042733sorry to hear that, any hope for relief at all?
>>517041923there are so many clocks everywhere that I am having a time fatigue, I just don't care. if you ask me right now what month, day, day of the week, time is I won't be able to tell you because I just don't give a shit. all that shit is for faggots
>>517042733Are you vaxed?
>>517041923Waste of money. Dont care for watches too.
>>517041923>Why do you not own one yet?It's all fun and games until the nigger shoots you and tries to steal it.
>>517041923real men don't wear watches.real men decide what time it is.
>>517043386
>>517041923Why do you still take scheduled flights?Just imagine the inconvenience!
I bought a two tone datejust with the champagne dial. Why? Because my dad bought one, and so did my grandfather when they both 'made it'. When my son grows old enough he will inherit mine, and my grandfather has already let me know I can have his when he passes. I might step it up and get a Patek though, just because more and more...unsavory people are buying Rolex
>>517041923Rolex Is the brand that every brown men desires
I'd rather buy pinball machines
>>517045592Based pinhead. What's your favorite table?
I "made it" two decades ago. I represented Breitling and was gifted very nice watches when I won for the company. The watches are sitting in a drawer gathering dust. I hate wearing watches and jewelry except when I swim laps every morning or run. Then, I wear an early 2000's Timex Ironman. I have changed many batteries, gaskets and wrist bands. I do not understand the watch fetish.
>>517045874No one gives a shit. Hey, wasn't it lazy that Cactus Canyon is basically Medieval Madness with cowboy paint? How did they get away with that?
i peaked at college ramen with eggs.
I hate launch buttons. The revolver spinner gimmick annoys me because you have no control over the ball launch, so what's the point? The quick draw event is a lot of fun, however. CC probably is the better table overall.
>>517041923I'm 6'2" and have been bodybuilding for 25 years. I don't need a watch ever.I stopped wearing them in highschool.Social approval is for the mentally ill.There is a 100% chance that OP is vaccinated.
>>517041923Basically, anyone with a credit card can get a Rolex now, it’s not so much of a status symbol anymore.Things that have real value are things you can’t just buy easily, like a wife and kids, or a house.
>>517041923i have a gshock because i trust the japanese more than fancy bergjuden watches
>>517045592theyve had pinball machines at my local costco for the last few months. 4k though. and based off movies like star wars, jurassic park
whats the point of watches? the phone tells you the time. if im gonna wear something on my wrists it will be bracers
>>517041923>Prolexpatek phillippe is the white man's watch
>>517047174I don’t like pulling out my phone all the time like some mong and an analog watch face is honestly easier to “gauge” time in a less abstract way than just numbers as you can imagine the fractions quite easily at a glance.
>>517041923Got mine
>>517046678I'm a time autist, how do you time your rests between sets?
you can’t rip my drip
>>517041923Buy an ad you fucking nigger.
>>517042265>>517041923I'm not reading whatever the fuck this is
>>517041923this is from the mind of a man that needs to signal himself hahahahaha he wants to signal to others pmfao what a stupid cunt.>look how successful i am>children and a family?>pfft five rolexes are better than five children
>>517041923Fendi bracelet and Louis carryall. I do have a decent life though, so that plays a role.
>>517047671do you not just look at the clock in the morning and then know what time it is for the rest of the day? what is wrong with everyone else? i am always within 15 minutes through the whole day. divvies, i can tell the time by how many spliffs ive smoked too, or how many farts ive done
>>517048588I think I've got the same problem. I'm 26 and have 3 watches, a Casio, a cheap plastic watch, and a Rolex. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I've got a weird fetish for watches.
>>517041923>2. **Lack of scarcity awareness** — You haven't demonstrated the ability to acquire rare/timeless things. That suggests you shop at whatever's on sale this week.there is no scarsity you muppet its artificial demand with 'hidden catalogues' and 'waitlists' to try and build a long term customer relationship with you. its all just talmud tricks and jewish tacticts giving you a 'goodest goy' gold star that you can wear around to show off to other goodest goys meanwhile painting a giant unnecessary target on your head for scammers and/or niggers who see you got money and want to find where you live an take things from you. my advice? buy one just to try it out and when you get bored get rid of it and do something else with your money, like investing which is actually useful. go look up 'sabry suby rolex' on youtube. im not putting a link because fuck you, its all bs though
My Datejust has 1/4 carat in high brilliance diamond markes, and it is nothing.. a baby watch, but it still cost me more than your car. You aren't a real man if you don't have any stones. Just saying
swiss watches are a scamnon-gold rolexes cost like $400 in parts lol it's luxxotica all over again
>>517041923>>517042590Rolex is the entry level, so called "participation trophy" of the watch world. When you buck up and make some adult deals and get your first richard mille let me know, I'll order a bottle to your table.
>>517041923Wearing a watch may scratch the gel coat or the brightwork on the boats I drive. The only time I care about is the tide change and beer o’clock. Sucks to have such a complex existence, faglord
>>517047902One starts when the other finishes
>>517041923Really the worst rolex they make. Wrist candy for crypto bros and UAE residents.
>>517041923>No status signalI dont feel the need to signal status. I'm not insecure.>Lack of scarcity awarenessRolexes are not scarce. They're expensive, but there are thousands of them with more made every year>Absent legacy thinkingyour grandson will pawn that thing for 1/8 of its value. Just invest the cash and give him money>No social proofI dont care about that. If i have a friend it's because we genuinely like and value each other for who we are. Beyond that i dont have a need to socialize>Poor tasteYou paid 1000s of dollars for a watch that is to most people indistinguishable from a $60 chinese fake
>>517047902Not that Anon.. I have only been lifting for about 9 years now, but I hit 1/2/3/4, 3/4ish years ago. I do not like timed rest. The point is to push your body to failure, Anon. I do a set, and then I meditate until my heart rate and breathing slow enough that I can easily inhale for a full 4 seconds and exhale for 3 without any fatigue or ragged breathing. When my heartbeat slows enough, I can no longer feel it pounding in my chest or ears(if I look at the wall clock, this usually takes 3-5 minutes), after I start the next set to failure.>learn how to breathe correctly>repeat for all sets>get strongIf you have proper form and are lifting the correct weight, you should be able to lift safely without timed rest or stretching.
Poorfags make me laugh.
>>517048535you post on /biz/, i remember you talking about this
>>517041923>I need to signal
>>517041923watches stopped being cool after like elementary school. Buying luxury watches reeks of the same desperation that those faggots living in Valencia do, with their monster offroad vehicles that they can't do shit with besides cruising business park parking lots
Completely unnecessary. A civilized man knows the time from the bells of his local church.
Rolex is already normie tier. If you don't have a patek, richard mille or (if you're brown) an AP, you are poor.
>>517041923I inherited them with the money my parents saved from not paying an ambulance ride and an insulin shot
>>517042590Femboy wrist
>>517041923I don’t own one of those because the strap looks shaped like a woman’s watch. I’m sure it’s a nice watch but I have better taste than that and will wear a watch that looks made for a man.
>>517041923Because a Tudor is a better use of your money and Rolex dealers are entitled cunts would maybe consider an old datejust for giggles as a fun little restoration project, but honestly FUCK rolex in general they act like ferrai and Enzo was a faggot too
>>517041923You all need to understand that your 'reason for living' is to procreate, and push information to the next generation. That is what you are here for. Perpetuation of the human species. It's up to you to choose what you do to help us, and what information you give to the next generation. Everything else is just noise.Jews are the parasitic race though, so be careful of them.
