Ive got 150$ Police brand black watch. Only one I ever use. Ive got 10 other. Moat expencive around 1000$. Almost never use that one.

If I could afford a rolex, Im unsure if Id use it as I dont like the look of it.

>if you have a rolex you're most likely not into horology
wrong

>>15938059
if you have an omega, most likely you're not into chrematistics

Imagine using anything else than your smartphone to check what time is it.

Get the fuck out of here, normie

this is my most /biz/-relevant watch.
it was made by poo-covered hands, worn on a poo-covered wrist, and I eventually paid about the ATH price of link for it.
I mostly wear my F-91W.

>>15938196
No, not for normies. Okay, if you're into horology, maybe a select few; a Daytona of some sort, a deep sea challenge, the Pepsi gmt master or a maybe cellini because it doesn't scream Rolex. Most people get the first day date they can afford as long as it has a fluted bezel so it's recognizable.

Those are some butt ugly watches for sure

>>15939723
I commend your collection for the sheer monetary value, but taste wise, I have to say id get other things for the money. maybe even pool the money it took for a few of those pieces together and get a really nice one. like a vacheron or something

>>15938225

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
what an INCEL

>>15939845
Not exactly what I'd wear. If I'd want a tough watch I'd get a Fortis B-42 Marinemaster, (my wrist is too small for that though). A diver to show off? Probably an Omega. A comfy flieger? Stowa Klassik.

Daily reminder that nobody could actually give two fucks about what you wear on your wrist. Just as long as you like the way it looks, who cares. I think all those watches you listed are great, but there is nothing wrong with Datejusts.

>>15938514
fluted bezel>smooth bezel or you're just a smooth brain. day date is one of the best looking formal watches there is. I own a submariner, does this make not a fan of horology? you're just generalising to generalise.

>>15939723
>Hublot
jesus christ man

>>15940225
okay, I can agree with that. being into horology its all about how a watch makes you feel. if you truly like it and it brings you joy, go for it. whatever the fuck it is. it doesn't really matter. my gripe is people who aren't into watches too much, just buy rolex bc it shows how much money you have. just like similar how "car guys" probably wouldn't buy a modern day lambo as their first sports car if they came into a lot of money. its more of a flex piece to show how "rich" you are. a more refined enthusiast would probably go for something more classy, actually worth it

>>15939723

lol, say what you may. it cannot cover up your bad taste. more likely than not, you were subconsciously programmed to like rolex through indoctrination. lol most of them are machine made, you can get hand made zaratsu polish via grand Seiko for a fraction of the price of rolex. its more about the aura a rolex exudes other than what you truly get

Seiko master race

>>15940300
Or maybe people appreciate the history of the watch and the brand and getting rock solid movements? not everything is about people wanting to show wealth most people don't give a single fuck about watches you fucking zoomer retar. not everything has to be hipster pieces "I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT" autism.

>>15940255
I get it. I don't understand why people buy iced out watches, but more power to them. It doesn't take away any enjoyment I get from owning watches. Saying that all Rolex owners are basically just rich normies is pretty damning and sweepingly generalized seeing as there are so many different models and styles to choose from. What turns people off from this hobby (much like any hobby) is other people thumbing their nose at each other in some sort of air of superiority. You see this a lot with people buying their first Seiko 5 to get into automatic watches. Everyone gets up on their high horse to shit on people who hadn't even had a chance to dig deeper into horology. It's why I don't even bother going on the watch threads on /fa/ or any other forum.

Watches are made large for people to flash on insta

>>15938225
Had two in black got one in green now

Great watch.

>>15940321
rolex was the "first" for a few things, and the first to make a luxury watch a status symbol to an extent. that bitch who swam the English channel with a newly waterproofed rolex on her neck, a lot of things made it a first. now they take advantage of the name sake and put out good watches, they are not shit, im not saying that, but for the equivalent money you can get much finer attention to detail and more intricate movements

>>15938799
Women have no fucks to give for watches, stupid.

Wow, I unironically thought only fags and emts still wore watches.

>>15940370
Grande complication pocket watches made of precious metals were a thing two hundred years ago, there has always been some luxury to it
Not denying rolex isn't the king in the mainstream mindset though

>>15940342
always buy the expensive pieces used nice price for the VC
>>15940331
based
>>15940370
that is literally irrelevant to a lot of buyers and most people who have rollies don't just buy it as a status symbol as you're trying to claim. yes there are a lot but to say thats the only reason people do is so outlandishly wrong and to say that theres only a few that are "worthy" is flat out retarded. watches in of their own are luxury items or for fashion so if you want to put that designation on rolex might as well say fuck it and do the entire industry. you're a faux watch nerd and it irks me.
collection for ref

>>15940417
Nice. I think people spend too much time on forums developing opinions based purely on abstract details. Go to an authorized dealer and actually hold one of these in your hands. Try it on. Take a look with your own eyes instead of pouring over photos like OP. You'd be surprised how quickly people's sentiment changes.

>>15940417
lol, preach. if certain rolex have high demand, its great as an investment watch but honestly the for the money you get from others is worth it. admit, you buy watches to impress. you care what others think. the likes of glashutte, JLC, GS, lange, IWC, breguet, blancpain, I can go on. Rolex is not bad, but its like the lambo of watches when a more refined aston is other brands where its worth the money like patek
>>15940464
if you genuinely like the rolex go for it, imho it is not up to par with the quality of other makers for the price. its more of the name brand

>>15940494
This. Its the truth, People buy rollies to flex on plebs the same normies who rock supreme and gucci get it to flex hard cause normies dont kno shit and Rolex = rich

ITT: nouveau riche normalfags who need to get the fuck off my board

>>15940494
I'm not saying I like Rolex more than any other brand. All I'm saying is
1. There is no point in trying to convince someone else that they have bad taste, or that they're wrong for liking a certain brand/style/etc.
2. There is a huge difference between specs on paper and having the watch in person
I'm not trying to be rude, but you sound like you're underage. You talk about how people shouldn't buy watches to show off but make a thread encouraging people to do just that, and shoot people down on top of that. You're attempting to act like you have superior taste instead of trying to see what makes any individual piece unique. You're so dogmatic in your beliefs that you can't accept someone else liking something you don't. For most of us, we'll never own the true high end watches, so debating on which is best is a moot point. Honestly, what was the point of this thread? Were you hoping to circlejerk with people that like what you like, or were you just trying to argue?

>>15940596
I understand what you say, and being into watches I have said multiple times do what brings you joy. Get what you enjoy and makes you happy. I iterated that, so the fact you're so incredibly butthurt makes me think it's probably shaken up your world. Maybe what you're experiencing is a horological redpill, you can fight and call me whatever you want, it doesn't change the nature of reality and what time pieces we own. Yes, the watch in person is what matters most, than doesn't mean I can't give my opinion in relation as to what matters most to me, when said watches are in my hands. Relax man, no worries. Take it easy, I'm just saying the maximum value for your buck is found - for me - in many other brands other than Rolex. Do you

>>>15940596
>>There is no point in trying to convince someone else that they have bad taste
Why not? Watches seem particularly plagued by this. Microbrand design is hamfisted by people who like watches but know fuck all about design, why some things work and others don't. Having four fonts on a face, some of which clash with others while thinking it looks good is just poor taste.

People that froth over luxury watches also do shit like make sure their belt matches their shoes - which someone told them to do, yet don't want to listen when they are told their watch is a fugly mess?

Lets be realistic - it is a choice but it goes deeper. Big money is dropped on these things by people who don't have taste and need to be told that their shoes should match their belt. Its not so much that the watch is ugly it is that the persons taste is poor and they do not wish to admit this over a large dollar value item. It says something about the person if they pick these hideous timepieces. It is a reflection of their taste but when they are not given guidance.. well we can see the outcome.

At least with cars there are not so many permutations so you can't end up with train wrecks like >>15939723

These are reps, I can tell by the poor SEL finish on the Rolex watches. That said good, I like reps too.

>>15941832
I'm talking about the SEL gap nigger.

Lol @ all these pleb tier watches. The only watch I want is the Grand Seiko Snowflake. People who are truly into horology know how elegant this watch really is. The buttery smooth glide of the spring drive dial is unmatched and can't be faked like Rolexes

>>15939723

>if you have a rolex, most likely you're not into horology but just want people to know about how much disposable income you had

This is a fucking retarded take. Rolex makes outstanding watches. Almost every design they make is a classic. They have insane heritage and their watches are beautiful. You're getting in house movements, pristine materials and excellent designs. They're frankly affordable for their quality level.

My Rolex Explorer is probably the best field watch in the world. Suck my dick you fucking pleb

a rolex is nothing more than a status symbol you cumbrain

Why does no one ever talk about complications like the tourbillon or carrousel?
Pic related.

I will order a rep Cartier Santos with a white dial soon. Reasoning: the watch is can look dressy as well as sporty depending on the bracelet used, the reps are pretty good and fitted with a reliable movement and there is a mechanism that makes it easy to change bracelets.
I'll have 2 custom leather straps made to replace the rep one and I'll be set.
Then I'll be able to change from my stainless steel bracelet to the leather bands to match my outfit.

>>15944212
While it looks nice why do they insist on using 8-9 fonts on a watch. Its ridiculous and detracts immensely. In any other industry you would get laughed at for doing this. At least they could have used the bezel font for the water resistance rating as well as Swiss made.

>>15944242
