Nice watch, I like Casio, they make some good watches. I sold most of my Link at the top (luckily) and bought a decent 2nd hand Civic tourer, overpaid my mortgage by a few thousand and bought 5oz gold. I never had a big stack, got in a bit late but thankful I made a decent bit out of it.

>>23532248
That looks like a shit AP Royal Oak rip off

>>23532248

>>23532489
what did I say, I named it Royal Broke. Still love the style as it's not a blatant ripoff, just a more sporty and more modest look with fun accents like the yellow font and seconds hand.
>>23532504
I mean, I technically cashed out about 13 LINK to get the watch, this would've cost close to 1k. No thanks. Also I'm not a mechanical fan.

classy choice, OP. here's a little piece I picked up recently.

atleast op aint fat as a pig

Non watch faggot here. My dad is retiring soon and he also just go diagnosed with cancer... I've made it off of Link and a little bit of the investment was because my parents trusted me enough to give me a loan to buy some of that Link. So, I want to buy my dad a good gift and I keep thinking of a watch.

Can you watchfags help me out? We are hard working, go to church every Sunday, country folk type people. They've never owned something "fancy" or expensive in their lives. So what kind of watch would be good for a handy-man type guy? I guess it could be once a week wear to church type fancy, but I'm not sure he would like that. Is there something he could wear every day that would hold up to dings from working around being a handy man?

a Casio and the remaining in BTC

sounds like >>>/fa/15670521 is for you. Just ask, it's a bunch of pretty polite autists.

>>23532667
Sorry, I'm just a bit too busy and don't care enough about my watch to set it every other day and worry wether it's losing time yet or not, then add the servicing cost and having to wind it when you haven't worn it, yikes.

>>23532655
for something handy-man like I'd recommend anything rolex. Something plain and timeless. Will cost you anything from 5-15k for entry-level. If you want something more baller get a Patek.

>>23532655

Depends on your budget man. FOr $100 check out Vostok Amphibia / Scuba Dude, it's russian but tough as nails and looks cool. FOr a bit more than that search Seiko Orange Monster

>>23532702
Why are even discussing watches if you're going to compare functionality? If you care about functionality, watches are entirely pointless, just use a phone.

Any rolex looks 90 times better than your watch and they retain their value as investments.

>>23532758
yeah and you know what, one rolex is equivalent to my car budget. get a grip on reality, of course a watch should have some utility. I also don't want to get my hand chopped off in the city or be paranoid about not bumping into shit.

>>23532683
will do, thanks

>>23532722
i'd want to keep it under 10k.

>>23532729
budget around $5k, def under $10k, but if i could get a really nice respectable watch for $1-2k that would be cool too.

Also, forgot to mention he has small wrists so nothing huge.

>>23532248
>selling $1000 for $19

>>23532897
get him a rolex daydate or a gmt master or explorer.

>>23532580
Where are your knuckles anon?
For a moment I thought that you were an amputee wearing a watch on your forearm.

>>23532655
Stick with something classic i.e;
>rolex submariner
>rolex date just/day date (depending on your budget)
>omega speed master/sea master (depends on your taste)
>patek philippe nautilus, If you really want to splash out
>>23532729
Bro, he said he made it off link and his dad's retiring and has cancer...$100? Not having on seiko, pic related, but come on...
>>23532664
Based bomber bro

>>23533191

Yea I didn't see the "made it" part. Good picks, I would've recommended Rolex Explorer. If dad claims it's too expensive you can say it's actually "cheapest" because Rolex holds value better than most

>>23532248
Casio ProTrek, a house, 10 hectares of land and more TOMO.

Not even larping.

>>23532248
What a waste of money

>>23532667
I agree, mechanical watches are superior.

Regarding Rolex, I'd only be interested in the Rolex Submariner. Rolex is a great brand but their watches aren't the best. I'd take an Omega Seamaster any day of the week.

Or Patek Phillipe...

>>23533659
A Patek is truly a 'make it' watch. You can't really own one any other way.

>what did you buy with your gains
>everyone talks about faggot watches for queers

>>23532655
get a tussle t touch

the ultimate handyman's watch

>>23532667
level up my g

>>23532664
Blessed

I'm more of a pocket watch fan myself

>>23533977
Lmao haven't seen this one before

>>23532667
that's a fake. recognizable by the poverty glass which is not sapphire.

>>23534378
I have box and papers, reddit detective anon-kun

>>23532655
Are you giving him a watch so he can count down the time he has left to live?

>>23534463
fakes have that too obv. where have you bought it from?

>>23532248
>cashes out to by object
>doesn't cash out to by freedom
pick one

>>23532248
I cashed out enough LINK at the top to be able to survive without working until the end of febuary. I also made enough to buy 100K PNK with and still have my original amount of LINK. Although if I waited until sub $10 I could have had more than 10K link instead, but it's a learning experience.

This shit is so easy, thank you to all the redditors and niggers of the world that buy the top

>>23532248
Why isn't your hand weird?

>>23532897
Rolex oyster perpetual 36. If he never owned something fancy, thrbnsmr rolex will be all it needs and make it superior over an omega, which is an equally good watch but doesn't cry the popularity with normies. Oyster perpetuals for 5k and look chic.

>>23532248
I bought my missus this

I really prefer digital watches

>>23535524
I held my sports bag, what's weird about it?

>>23532655
I appreciate the sentiment here, but I hope you are using some of the money instead to secure him the best possible treatment instead of just a material good

is there anything worse than watch threads on /biz/?
every pleb comes out the woods telling how X brand is so good but what they don't realise is the entire industry is practically a scam since the quartz revolution.
you are either paying for marketing OR you're paying for a fully hand made piece by a proper watchmaker (normally well over $10,000).
anything bought for under $5k is usually a SHITTER unless you go vintage
Omega isn't even omega anymore, it's swatch. they just treat omega like their golden goose and shit out new limited edition semenmasters with replacement parts from china
Rolex is still a well made watch, but the demand has skyrocketed and you can't buy retail so you are almost always OVER PAYING.
Patek's are okay, but like AP their rep is getting ruined by niggers. Patek has also doubled their production rates in the past 10 years without doubling their staff. do you think the finishing will be the same?
Hublot.. lmao that dumb tasteless faggot in the thread is guaranteed a chink.
>inb4 seiko
Yes basedko made good value watches, and now they know they can jack their prices up and gaijin will buy any stupid shitty malaysian made watch for $400 (see latest seiko 5s, complete shitters)
If you are going to buy seiko buy BEFORE the rebrand to "Grand Seiko"

buy a cheap casio or citizen, OR go vintage or go BIG and buy a lange or independent piece (unless you are an obscenely rich oil sheik)

I posted this last week, but when my poorfolio hit $50k I bought a new bike (and one for my wife).

>>23535773
kek
took me a second

Just cash out in small amounts. I'm talking like $500 a week. You don't really need more than that. If the irs asks you about it just say it's your allowance for helping out your parents

i make a $25k contribution to the Libertarian party every 4 years, this time i was able to make it with crypto rather than salary taken from my business
other than that, just hodling
good for you all tho, cashing out to buy things you want
life's short as hell, buy what you really want if it makes you happy
just some advice, if you're iffy on something like a nice car or a watch or whatever you think may make you happy, consider buying a cheaper one and using the rest of the $ you cash out to go on a trip or do something you've always wanted to do like traveling, rock climbing, skydiving, whatever it may be

>>23532667
>watch with a magnifying glass over the date
I'd be flat out embarrassed to wear that.

>>23537196
Good advice. What do you do?

This was my first automatic watch and I don't regret it. Between the sapphire glass, hand winding, hacking, 200m dive rating, solid link bracelet with solid end links and the divers clasp extension it has a lot of value for $300.

>>23536633
ty for the advice watch senpai. im creaming ober your watch knowledge.

>>23532655

You should just get him a nice seiko solar steel watch. They cost like 250 dollars, need batteries changed every 10 years or so and they are almost indestructible yet they have some really nice looking models in the line

>>23532897

In that case I'd check out the grand seiko luxury lines

>>23534463

How much was it?
