I’m buying it
/v/ is poor
>>730901342>a watch made out of plastic and rubber shit, no precious jewels or metals>thousands of dollarsReminds me of years ago when people were paying out the ass for that "hand crafted" plastic bead jewelry was worth nothing.
>>730902623Holy shit youre brown. Do you have any clue what type of work goes into creating a quality watch? Do you have any clue on what the market is like?
>>730902783>HamiltonIt’s you that’s brown, friendo
too campy
>>730902858Just say you can’t afford it
>>730902783its tacky and gay AND its vidya merch so its cringe
>>730903009>he doesn’t know RolexAnon I…
>>730903091>brownie only knows about MUH ROLEX because of the crappers he listens to Hamilton is a solid brand retard. Go wear your fossil retard.
This is the cheapest Casio I have and it is worth 1500 dollars. Vidya merch is kinda cringe in general and it gets worse the more expensive it is
>>730901342Mine better
>>730901342I'd mock you but man I regret not getting the Bayonetta watch
>>730901342I just wear a Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 44 and call it a day
>>730903935Nothing wrong with that they are useful
>>730901342you either buy a rolex if you're in for the value/flex or the cheapest watch you can find that goes with your fiteverything else is a meme, no one gives a flying fuck about non-rolex watches no matter how much they cost
you don't need a watch in current year.
>>730904056Seiko is great too
>>730904056>>730903730I have a Rolex too but it’s not my favorite. It’s my everyday beater watch
>>730904125I have the special edition Naruto swing I love it
you now remember gshocks
>>730904221Seiko*
>>730904156I like that pen. Tell me more about the pen.
>>730903215>“I can’t afford Rolex I can only afford Hamilton th-therefore you’re brownAhahaha
jesus why is the wristwatch market so fucking pretentious
>>730904356Thanks lol I think it’s made of brass, the cap screws off and then screws onto the back it’s pretty cool. Can’t remember where I got it unfortunately I’ve had it for years
>American Classic>Europe?
>>730903730>>730904156Why are you white?
>>730904256>tfw a girl I dated bought me one and I still have it but I don’t wear it because it’s embarrassingly gaudy I only ever wore it a few times when I hung out with her, but I miss her dearly. Fuck you for reminding me, anon.
>>730902783>Do you have any clue what type of work goes into creating a quality watch?Who cares? Input doesn't equal value, it's set by the market of yuppies who drop thousands on trinkets for status.
>>730904463Not sure, apologies for the inconvenience
>>730903935I have a Galaxy Watch 4 but the OneUI 8.0 update rendered it useless. Tiles are now stacked pills instead of circular, there's less information per tile now, the watch is slower just in general, it has connection issues to my phone and no longer syncs notifications or messages, and the on-wrist sensor no longer works so it can't track my sleep or health, and frequently locks itself because it thinks it's not on my wrist.All from one horrible update. And I know >updating your watch lel, but I didnt think it would be THAT bad. And factory resetting it won't send it back to 6.0. Fuckin sucks.
Im too much of a slob for this. Would clash with my sloppy unkempt gamer aesthetic. Hope everyone enjoys theirs.
I'll stick with my 20 dollar digital timex i bought at walmart thanks
>>730904538Damn you should throw it in a food processor and drink it to gain its power
>>730904617Yeah I'm... not gonna do that.
>>730904685Alright suit yourself
>>730904685Erm... yeah... awkward...
>>730903730you just had to include the bing bing tablet, didn't you
It really is amazing how people will fall for the most obvious scams.
>>730901342>Hamilton Nah, miss me with that bullshit.
>>730904371It's easy. Anyone who shits on G-Shock isn't worth listening to.Otherwise it's just picking a (good) watch you like for the right amount of money you're ready to spent.
>>730901342w*tchfags are insufferable
>>730901342oh wow a watch thread on /v/behold, the only nice thing i own.
>>730905048>behold, the only nice thing i own.What about your smile? :)
>>730904371It's just some bullshit no one really cares about, same as the stupid XTREME marketing garbage on GPU boxes and the wholesome chungus backstory bullshit they write on the back of liquor bottles and boxes of crackers.
Sure, that's nice and all, but have you considered the fact that I already have a better watch? One that has Yuyuko on it?
>>730902623>no precious jewels or metalsEmbarrassing post. Swiss mechanical chronographs don’t come cheap regardless. And stainless steel construction is also standard at that price point. You’re paying a couple hundred dollars extra for the licensed branding, but these are otherwise in the range for typical prices of an automatic with an eta movement. If you’re getting precious metals in a watch at this price it means you’ve got a really cheap quartz movement inside. That’s typical of mall watches.
it's time
What kind of total fucking loser do you have to be to fall for overpriced clocks no one even uses anymore?
>>730905048What’s so nice about it? Brand dominance?
>>730903730>wedding bandFUCKING NORMIE GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARDRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE3333333333333
>>730905194NIGGA WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
>>730902783Hamilton shitters aren't (((hand crafted))) lmao. Most of the movement is plastic now too, they also took the ability to regulate it away. When you sent it in for service they just throw the entire movement out and slap another plastic shitbox inside the case. You might as well get a quartz watch that you can service yourself and it will keep superior time. I like to wear my sliderule watches when I play ace combat kek
>>730905190Redpill me in watches, anon. I’ve never seen anyone act like such a convincing watch elitist before.
>>730905215>what is investingGuessing u still live at home?
>>730905190>chronographWatch obsessives are truly the audiophiles of the fashion world.
>>730904056If you’re buying watches to impress other people you’ve already lost because nobody gives a shit.
>>730905296It's luffy.
>>730903730Nice rep
>>730905215Everyone has their own brand of tism. Unfortunately you the gooner kind.
>>730905336Chronograph isn't even being pretentious, it's referring to a feature that watch has. You hit the button, it starts counting time since the button was hit. That's just the name for it.
i am fond of the 'ceptor. The big boss seiko that released with mgs was the coolest game watch ever made though.
>>730904878Yeah lol it’s a picture I took like a week ago or something to prove I had a switch cause some freak was accusing me of being some other guy
>>730903730>puts additional merchandise in the photoWhat did he mean by this?
>>730905312The one in the middle is so sex but the wristband is so ass bro
>>730901342does he actually wear one of these ingame? are they gonna have conspicuous closeups of him checking the time in a cutscene?
>>730901342>was browsing watch threads a few hours ago>watch thread on /v/ soon afterI'm being watched.
>>730905453I have this watch, somehow it syncs when all my other Casio's can't get a signalThe MGSV watch is kinda sorta still available. They sell it under the WIRED sub brand
>>730905285I made this board child
>>730905569They've got you clocked.
>>730904463Why aren’t you?
>>730905506This was the reason >>730905490
>>730905578yeah but it is so huge my little baby wrist can't handle it so I don't even bother buying one.
>>730905190I like when watches go>tickticktickticktick:)
>>730905336Chronographs are cool. But honestly for most people a Seiko Prospex Speedtimer is all the Chronograph they’ll ever need. Quality solar quartz movement, solid stainless steel case, looks cool, less than $500. Mechanical watches are for people with money to burn because they like the craftsmanship.
>>730905578its a bis atomic watch I love it.
>>730905569>>730905656Lovely puns gentlemen
>>730905320There are plenty of places online for that. I don’t need to spoonfeed you.
>>730905665And you also just happened to be showing your watch off as well? Lol Why not just admit you’re vain and enjoy flaunting your toys?
>>730902783$20 is for the utility$300 for the workeverything else is a sucker willing to pay
>>730905772Seikos are awesome, I’m not a fan of quartz movements I have an automatic one but they are all really solid
How the fuck can anyone tell the time on the left watch? Digital watches are also just better.
>>730905842>implying I’m ever going to discuss this anywhere else Are you suddenly embarrassed about it or something? You *do* realize that we’re all anonymous here, right?
>>730905904You are a sucker if you aren’t wearing a sundial like a real trad chad
>tendies is the rich minority in /v/that tracks
>>730905453Idk why but I thought this was a digital watch on a bomb at first glance. But ive never seen a watch used to ignite dynamite
>>730905215henlo that would be me. watches release a kind of dopamine in my brain that literally nothing else does. My earliest memory of wanting something was a watch. I'm pretty stupid and I don't have the numbers or time keeping autism at all so I'm not sure where this is coming from. I just fucking love watches. Sadly this is the kind of "hobby" that I just can't share with people. Certain watches are almost like part of my identity. I have a lot of rarer shitters and I genuinely cannot bring myself to share them or tell people what they are, because only I can own them. I'm too much of a contrarian to fit in with the richfag rolex buyers and this is too autistic for normies so I just keep it to myself. I do like to wear certain watches while playing certain games through. I replayed mgs3 and wore this the entire time. Souske from FMP also wears a similar field watch to this so I wore it while rewatching fmp for the 50th time
thinking about picking up one of these
>>730905997Mostly an idiot honestly, my wife plays the switch they most but I play some multiplayer stuff with her on it and when friends come over
>>730905194kek

>>730905772>fucking useless 24hr subdial Nah fuck off
>>730905727I have that exact watch, love it.
>>730906025casios are the terrorists choice of watch so its not too weird that you thought that.
>>730906067watches are always luxury because everyone in the world has a perfectly calibrated watch in their pocket
>>730906037That’s cool man just wear what makes you happy who cares what other people think. I wear some pretty nice watches and normalfags don’t know what they are or care/notice. They can’t tell the difference between a patek and a fossil, wear them for yourself. That one in the pic is really cool too
>>730906049Lmao I played myself I meant idort*
an f91w with a mip screen would be the end game watch
seiko should have finished off the western watch industry when they had the chance
guh???
>>730906272*mlp
>>730906046>subtle vidya merch
>>730905913>le not a fan of le quartz That's not your opinion. Quartz watches are incredible. Keeping time through the demon magic of a crystal somehow oscillating when a current is passed through it, then translating that into a steady signal that measures time is one of the biggest genuine achievements of humanity and your current life wouldn't be possible without it. I like mechanical watches but to shit on quartz is one of the most basic bitch plebbit opinions out there.
>>730906378Nah man I’m not hating on them at all I just don’t like having to change batteries lol
>>730905194
I got this, I like it.
>>730906334I have this for work and the stainless steel version for play.
>>730906334for me, it's the f105w
>>730906196Normalfag here, it’s true. Pic related is the watch I wear (it’s got sentimental value) but it’s not worth very much. Just simple and elegant. Don’t know shit about watches and from what I can tell ITT it seems like watchfags are hella insecure.
>>730906090I want it if just for the novelty. That part in the mgsv trailer where the stopwatch is running is really nice. Kojima has genuinely good taste when it comes to this shit.
>>730901342Man I hope whoever they scam with this will learn the error of their ways soon.
I wish I'd had the money at the time to buy the Basil watch.
>>730906145>we have devolved back to pocketwatchesGrim
>>730906090yeah its just gigantic, the wired agam403 is also just HUUUUUGE. If you are a twink wrist haver then you pretty much have to go with the original run of the g757-4000 series or 5000 if you wanna pay the big bucks.
The only watch worth owning is that one Goku watch
>>730906378Spring Drive is quartz++ though. The coolest movement. Powering an integrated circuit with a spring is just awesome.
>>730906604>limited edition gamer merch>scam As long as life as we know it doesn’t implode, there is little chance those items will decrease in value.
>>730906438But having to pay a (((watch maker))) to service a movement is any better?
>>730906482G-Shocks are legit.
>>730906759Seriously what the fuck difference does it make?
usecase for watch when you have clock on your phone and its always with you when you go somewhere?
>>730906831Dressing formally or wearing something fashionable.Otherwise, jogging I guess? If you don’t wanna carry your phone around while doing that.
>>730906831I strap my f91w to my handlebars when riding
>>730906831>why would I use a wristwatch when I have a pocket watch?This is what you're asking.We dropped pocket watches because it was annoying and tedious to pull it out of your pocket to check the time, and your hands might be busy holding stuff or dirty/sweaty while working/cleaning/whatever and moved to wristwatches as they solved all of these problems.A phone is just a pocketwatch with a terrible battery life. My Casio's battery lasts 10 years my phone's can't last 2 days.
>>730901342now this is something I wonder why anyone would spend more than $20 on. literally everyone has a phone nowadays, smartwaches are a meme but also cheaper. this is a no name $2k watch that doesn't even resemble anything from the games. only a retard would buy it
>>730906831its useful if you have a job where stopping to pull your phone out would be inconvenient, like a kitchen or something. though then you'd want a beater watch that get scratched up with no issues
I kinda want the Juri watch.
I love casio so fucking much bros.I wear my ae1200 everywhere I go, it's just so cool,and it's cheap so I don't care if it breaks. Also the duro is great.
>>730906831>its always with you when you go somewhere?But I don't always take my phone with me. Without my wristwatch though I feel lost.
erm...did someone need some inaccurate temperatures? no?oh ok just checking.
>>730907137my anadigi battery died
>>730907046You may have never heard of it, but Hamilton isn’t “no name.”
>>730906067For me, it's the Easy Reader>>730906831>want to stop talking to someone>pull out phone>look like a dilweed>check wrist instead>looks natural
>>730901342So what makes that watch on the left worth almost 2k, like the typical specs? sapphire glass, titanium, etc.? You can find watches like a fraction of the price if you want those.
>>730906196No you dont get it. I get a feeling of disgust if someone else wears a watch I really identify with. I got my dad a Casio duro and I just can't bring myself to wear mine anymore now that he does>>730906709Spring drives are dogshit. They have all the fragility of a mechanic watch with an order of magnitude less accuracy than even a basic quartz movement. You have to send them back to Japan to service them because only seiko can do it. And you HAVE to service them since the movement will grind itself to death otherwise. If you want a quartz watch with a sweeping hand the Seiko VK64 is in a lot of watches now and offers just that. Its even jeweled.

>Nostalgia>Sissy Poorfag assraped with Caramel Sauce on Top>Stinky Poophole Kids>PoorgamingNigger Gay Assrape.
>>730906579That’s a beautiful watch man who cares how much it’s worth wear it with pride especially if it’s sentimental! I am admittedly a bit of a watchdog but I don’t care what shit costs as long as you enjoy it and it makes you happy that’s all that matters
>>730906759Relax man I said it was a personal preference and that they were both solid choices. I really don’t give a shit either way idk why you are coming at me
>>730907901There's a good kind?
>>730906831phone could break, I'd rather have a cheap watch
>>730907398Alright well hopefully you can learn to let that go and not let what others have affect your enjoyment. I mean that genuinely, I may not understand it completely but it does sound very frustrating for you. So I hope that gets better man good luck
>>730905194Miring that arm hair on the top 2nd right guy

>>730901342>>730905190I just prefer my smartwatch. It is hilarious that I thought a smartwatch was such a dumb idea. Then my dad gave me his old one when he got the latest samsung one and yeah it is actually really useful.It is really great for exercise and the thing I use it most for is tracking my metabolics, step count, and other shit like that. And in general it is convenient to be able to look at the time and answer texts/calls without taking out my phone.I don't think it is very fashionable or anything though. Maybe if you're trying to attract some cryptofag.
what makes these related to Resident Evil?

What's the difference between this and the RE limited edition version? It looks exactly the same to me, same Pan Europe edition, same colors, same movement, so what's the difference? The strap???https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG3B3UAR4ZM
For me it's the trusty Casio
>>730905453the wave ceptor is the hidden gem of casios, people sing praises over the ae1200 and f91w but if you want a classic looking watch with the best legibility and atomic time then this is it and its a mere 34 dubloons

>>730912509>flex with?Nothing. No one is going to be impressed. Just get something you like.
>>730912462Timing bezels can be used outside of diving conditions. It's not nearly as useless of a function as a tachymeter

>>730905215but in my defense, I only buy broken ones for very cheap and fix them with my tools
>>730912894Still not a diver though, you're right. I just wanted to share a video regarding the whole "muh water resist" discourse.
>>730912992UnderstandableGetting 20 years of pussy in a single day sounds exhausting
>>730901342I've never understood why anyone would need a watch in the era of smartphones. >It's a status symbol and you are just poorThe exact opposite is true. I'm extremely wealthy and only poor people/nouveau riche feel the need to advertise their wealth. I can understand antique watches from when they were the height of technology, but the world has gone past them. Buying new watches though, garbage.
>>730913202I think it's cus of like the niggerfication of American/British Culture. So rappers kinda kept watches in the spotlight as "pussy magnet" jewelry when everybody pretty much preferred digital watches and more and more devices had a digital clock like your car, your microwave, your flip phone.
a watch is good for my job so I wear one
>>730913202I never understood why insecure people have to make this same post 40 times in the thread but here we are.

you could build a higher quality watch yourself for 500$ or less if you go super giga cheap. if you built your own PC you can build a watch
>>730901342Gamers are famously into expensive watches.
I hate "smart watches", plenty of studies show that even keeping your smartphone in your pocket at all times has negative health consequences. I'd rather have steel/quartz on my wrist 24/7 than some onions apple smart watch.Beyond that Swiss timepieces are proper modern craftsmanship + high-quality materials. It's not about "flexing" like some nigger, rather it's the man's version of jewelry. For many professions it's part of the culture, when I was in college watches were popular among pre-med students and many doctors I work with wear a nice watch as well.>>730913398They believe their opinions are right and can't fathom anyone having different beliefs than themselves. Autism, but the bad kind of autism.Also stupid people talk the loudest, like this retard >>730913972
>>730905215It's a status symbol and man jewelry. I'm not wearing a fucking smart watch with a suit, makes you look like a spy kid.
>>730906482Based
>>730901342Owning a chronograph is such a waste of money.
>>730912125If you can't afford to replace whatever you buy, you can't really afford it.
>>730913330>more and more devices had a digital clock like your car, your microwave, your flip phone.This is why zoomers can't read analog clocks and don't know what "a quarter after six means"
>>730914072>Swiss timepieces. Another fool that fell for the "swiss made" meme, It’s a legal labeling standard, 40% of your watch is chinese. You are no different than a bitch buying prada bags lel, literally paying for a brand name to be on your 40% chinese watch.
My 11$ casio is more accurate than those
>>730901342>american classic pan europI guess Capcom themselves came up with such a gloriously retarded name. Only a japanese can shart a succession of words like these.
>>730914379Yeah but it's like automatic vs manual.
>>730914072Interesting, what tactical advantage do the engravings provide?
>>730914760Yeah automatic tards are just as pathetic as people who can't tell time
>>730913880Yeah they've been doing that for a while now. I remember being a kid and wanting one of these because it's what they wore in Men in Black. They had a couple in the jewelry store at the mall and I talked the lady into letting me try one on once.
>>730914072>high-quality materialsmemeI mean like almost half your watch isn't even swiss tho
>>730914912That's a cool watch if you can pull it off desu.
>>730914379>zoomers can't read analog clocksIs this actually true or just a meme?
>>730914912Yeah but that's at least an old Space age design instead of a retarded tie-in like the Dune one
>>730914072I mean I guess all those pretty rocks they put in on the left one make it look nicer but thats on the inside so you are never gonna see it
>>730915023True but not only zoomers, just dumb people. Back in 2005 when I was 13 I had to translate the time for a friend.But there is wave of zoomers that think "a quarter past 6" means 6:25 because they aren't familiar with analog clocks.
>ask dad for the time>he just says "five to seven">ask mom for the time instead
>>730906378>>730906378the overwhelming majority of quartz watches are powered by sloppy stagnant tech from the 80s because 15s per month "good enough". The F91w is an insanely overpriced meme watch and fuck casio for selling $200+ gshocks.
>>730915314>tfw there’s 100 minutes in an hour
>>730915438Holy FUCK you are telling me I have been getting absolutely ROBBED of 15 seconds per month? FUCK FUCK FUCK I WANT MY TIME BACK I WANT MY TIME BACK I WANT MY TIME BACK
>>730915736"but i already have a phone"-tier reply
G shocks destroy my fat fingers I can never press those buttons
>>730915042You have no idea what you're talking about>>730914959Yes, 60% of the watch's value must be from Switzerland to be labeled "Swiss-Made". Do you expect Switzerland to have metalworking factories/workshops like China? Hamilton is based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland and has been since the late 1960s/early 1970s after being acquired by the Swatch Group.High-end brands (Rolex, Patek, Vacheron) genuinely do most work in Switzerland, mid-tier brands often exploit the rules as much as legally possible.
>>730915424lol

Quartz watches are also amazing and more people should understand how they work, but Quartz are electronic and corrode. Mechanical watches are immortal.
>>730916371Only got $5.45 and its 5:45
Help me /v/! I always had a bit of a desire to get into watches and buy a pretty solid one for everyday wear. Share me your knowledge and passion for watches and which ones do you guys recommend.
>>730915424>five to sevenThe phrase is five "till" seven not "to" seven
>>730916610iunno man, what do you like
>>730906334Guh.
>>730916610Buy a watch if you want to make yourself a larger target for thieves
>>730916610Just get a Seiko 5 that you like and don't try to get a better one afterward.
>>730916610Find something you find aesthetically pleasing, you can afford, and isn't Chinese or Russian. You'll be all set.
>>730916659Anything that isn't a smart watch seems fine and doesn't look too distracting on a plain skinny guy.
>>730916610Gshock
>>730915854You as the buyer should expect "swiss made" to not be a total lie. With how fucking lazy those price gouging assholes are I expect them to continue to change their little gay rules till the whole watch is fucking chinese.
I bought the daft punk casio and wish I didn't because the MIP squares are clearly better.
I recently received a Seiko for Christmas. I don't know the exact model but it looks very similar to the 5 Sports line so I am assuming it is an older one of those.I previously wore pic-related which I like a lot but I'm wearing the new one more often now because I appreciate the gift.My problem is that I only want a single clock face on my watch and I'm not a big fan of large brand names or really any writing at all on the face. A lot of cool designs are bogged down by multiple mini faces that tell you the date or a different time zone or other pointless clutter.
I would only buy a watch that has smart features for exercise.
>>730907626damn this is nice
>>730916857If the day of the week doesn't change to the actual real-world date I'll be really sad.

>>730901342How do you wear a watch without eventually damaging it?
>>730914072>They believe their opinions are rightNo, not that I believe my opinions are right; it's just that walking around with a $10k+ watch on your wrist is exactly the same as the gangsta rapper walking around with all his "bling" that ends up in bankruptcy court the second his 15 minutes of fame is over.
Get a digital face so you can make your own
>>730916969I take it you haven't owned a [fancy] watch before?The day of the week and the day of the month both roll over at midnight. You can manually adjust it by pulling out the crown on the right (pull once to adjust day/date with forward or backward respectively and then pull out one tick further to adjust the time).You need to manually reset the date to 1 on months that do not have 31 days but other than that it works fine. Being a leaf, my watch also has a setting to have the days of the week in French so the mode you don't have will show up for ~2 hours after midnight.
>>730916021>>730916292literal autism>>730916371based my dad use to do this
>>730916979Yeah exactly. I hate that shit.SuperGroupies has some cool designs but so many of them are wrecked by the name of whatever game/series the watch is based on just being plastered on the middle in huge letters. I'm genuinely amazed the Bayonetta one didn't do that.

Picked up this Seiko in Tokyo last week. Less than $200, but I like it.
>>730941046>Yes, modern phones are so big and bulkyare you a gnome?
>>730940965Let me clarify that I mean objects that represent value. Shiny is enough to impress because why wouldn't you wear an expensive watch :) They dont need to know true value
>>730932670Obama and Clinton larped as "everyman" poorfags in public when they were in office but dusted off their Rolexes afterward. Vladimir Putin for example has more money than god and regularly wears watches in the $100k+ rangethere is a market segment that is literally off limits to all but the richest of the rich, made-to-order, by invitation only even, and if nobody was buying the stuff then it wouldn't exist
>>730941321>and if nobody was buying the stuff then it wouldn't existsorry but these things have to be verified by the market in the first place, after being produced and put for sale
>>730941194The phone on the right was considered massive in 2012. The phone on the left is considered small today. Shit's fucked.
>>730941321how do you know all this?
Got this watch from my friends for a birthday, don't know anything about it other than it says "waterproof" on the back
the game looks so mid people would rather talk about watches. which i approve of
>>730941497Just look at any picture of Obama after he left office, he's always got a Rolex on his wrist.
>>730905215I have a decent watch I wear for meetings where it's improper to take out a phone. In general a watch is useful for any situation where you can't take out a phone.
The watch all the girls at work kept complementing me about is this cheap swatch.
>>730941710Light tank eroi...
>>730941497google any celebrity or politician's watch collection, stuff he's been seen wearing in public, and then look up the price tags on his pieces. Spending a few thousand on a watch you think is cool is nothing when you are extremely rich and don't care about poors thinking you're one of them
>>730901342buy an ad
>>730913867lmao it absolutely fucking is for Hamilton, they’re charging you a 1k premium for the gay Resident Evil tie in. Get an actual watch or get a shitter, no reason to spend 2k on a Hamilton Resident Evil chrono lol
>>730940274Watches are no different than clothing, hair style, anything that is done to help reflect a desired appearance. They are still relevant as part of formal attire so you're simply wrong and I say this as someone who neither wears or even owns a watch.
>sells you a 50 dollar ugly watch for 2000i will never understand watch people and watch prices
>>730944725It's all relative. The amount you pay for clothing, food, hot glue figurines might be trivial for you and seen a as a rip-off by others. Just as much as paying $2,000.00 for a watch is to others.If you want to get into the actual intricacies of watch designs and inner workings, that'd be another topic but it's basically already covered in this thread.
>>730944725In 10 years you'll be able to sell the watch on eBay for $4000.
