you are a retard if you spend more than $10 on a watch

>>9697757
they hold value well enough, doesn't really matter how much you spend

These two definitely but the dream would be to have over 500k worth in watches

>>9697757
love this watch, $11 on amazon

>>9697757
Fuck you sound so poor. I don't know if what I feel towards you is pity, or disgust.

Get a AP you piece of shit pleb. Work really hard and buy yourself and AP. Women will look at you differently. Men will look at your differently. Career opportunities will open up for you. Stop being a spastic and appreciate luxury items. There's a reason people pay good money for luxury brands and it's because they're not run by (((them))).

>>9697791
Yep, those are insane too.

pure fucking class

>>9697757
>10 fucking dollars
Let me guess, you won't spend more than $20 on shoes either?

Speedmaster, MAN ON THE MOON, FUCKAS

can someone explain the watch meme? is it jewelry?

>>9697729
Will buy ops watch when i make it
Or gold day date factory diamond bezel with custom gold jubilee band

>>9697729
Holy fuck not even actual 70 year old boomers wear watches nowdays, what the fuck is it with millenials thinking watches are cool?

If you weakminded pussies ever make it, you'd better start boxing or jits you fucking faggots.

First of all that way you'd have a chance at defending yourselves after some cholo decides to steal a "bitcoin rich"-looking watch from some pasty white guy. Second, maybe if your arms and hands didn't look they belong to a teenage girl you wouldn't need an expensive watch to make you feel manly

Just fucking blow your money on drugs and bitches like normal human beings for once

>>9697729
>needing to waste exorbitant amounts of money on something that just screams rob me please and is made obsolete by having a phone

How did you basedboys get on biz?

>>9697781
This is the shit that plebs don't understand about buying nice things, they're stores of value. Cost is what you pay minus what you sell it for, not just what you pay like normies think.

I bought a Porsche Cayman for a few grand under book value and I'm gonna sell it in a year or two for the same price. Boom, free Porsche for two years.

>>9697932
Because they listen to rap and are inspired by niggers

>>9697956
People who talk about their “things” are such faggots. I grew up in a rich family and I’m still wealthy. The rich are the most insecure, annoying faggots on earth. Constantly trying to impress others with their “things.” My “working class” friends are so much more entertaining and enjoyable to be around. I’m so sick of people talking about their investments.

>>9697933
>made obsolete by having a phone

Man, if you didn't put that nu male picture in your post, I'd have taken the bait for sure.

>>9697837
It looks like shit, idiot. There's nothing classy about that boring piece of shit, it's terrible. What the fuck is wrong with you people

>>9697892
At least this is not as terrible as the other shit in this thread, but still... Overdesigned overengineered and clunky-looking.

Slaves used to go around making cling-clong sounds and wearing chains, now wagekeks make the same sounds in their cubicles only they voluntarily trade their freedom to wear (((expensive))) watches.

This is the kind of normie you are trying to imitate, wake the fuck up

>>9697933
Based boy cope. Keep checking the the time on your nintendo ds.

Made it years ago. I wear a $1500 Cartier with a quartz movement. You really haven't made it until you don't have something to prove.

>>9697787
That's so gay

>>9698039

>>9697956
You fucking retard, the only actual "store of value" if shit ever HTF would be guns, ammo and food. Best case scenario you'd want an unbreakable casio.

If you're just buying a watch so that you can "lose it in a boating accident", you wouldn't buy the best looking watch, you'd be buying the most expensive you could

If you want to resell it, you wouldn't wear it

If you weren't a faggot, you would know the difference between retard-tax and stores of value

It’s really sad to see people aspiring to want to buy designer watches and other shit. You’re literally just trying to partake in the most uninteresting charade on earth perpetuated by uninteresting people (many in finance). Enjoy materialistic bitches and their annoying parents. Enjoy the “oh wow, is that a navitimer? I mean, those USED to be great watches...but check out this rare van cleef. Actually was a gift from Karl....yes, Karl Lagerfeld of course”

>>9698039
I'm just into watches. It's not really about proving anything. I wear a Swatch sometimes kek. I made it by most standards too, but I'm not going to spend more than 1% of my net worth on a watch.

>>9698039
This guy gets it.

>>9697892
This

>>9697956
>cost is what you pay minus what you sell it for
While I get what your trying to say, this just isn’t true with respect to all fundamental economic and business theory

>>9697729

>>9698079
They're certainly not the best store of value but I don't think they fall under retard tax. I don't know about these apocalypse scenarios or boating accidents, but if you needed the money, say in the case that all your smart investments wiped out, you could sell it fairly easily for a good amount of valuable fiat cash. At the end of the day it is one of the least expensive ways to flaunt wealth

>>9698297

A shitty cell phone because fuck watches.

>>9697956
Tell me u bought one of the last n/a models. They literally are not going to drop in value. I bought a Sti brand new for 37k 7 years ago. I can still get over 30k In it’s current low mile condition all day. Certain cars hold value increadibly.

>he doesn't have a Royal Oak yet
lmao

>>9697840
>cosmetic item vs utility item

>>9697917
Another old practice that used to have great significance and function, but is reduced to lukewarm pageantry in the modern age. Like decorative columns on buildings. They don't actually hold anything up, they're only they're to look pretty.

I have a Rolex Submariner and never wear it because it’s gay and I have a iPhone

>>9698480
What a poorfag.

>>9697999
We get it, you don't know the joy of working hard to attain something worthy of renown.

An Apple Watch + Apple Pay integration is enough
stop being a nigger

>that 20 year old boomer that dreams of owning an expensive watch.
Never gonna make it gramps.

>>9697729

>>9698482
If it's only a cosmetic item, why would you buy it in the first place, brainlet? You don't need to spend a thousand dollars, but you shouldn't buy something that you'll replace sooner than later.

>>9697757
depends on the watch...one could say patek phillipe is an investment

Out flexing you niggas

>>9698541
I bet you spend more than $20 on sunglasses.

>>9698568
I haven't, but you are actually retarded if you don't realize that more money = better quality (to an extent). If you have the money, which is the point of this thread, you shouldn't be buying crappy plastic frame sunglasses.

>>9698620
Seriously, I drive a Navigator and get out wearing $14 sunglasses, no watch, and a Nexus 5X.

Priorities. Utility > Fashion.

>>9697729
>2018
>Thinking newage stacies will care about your watch
Just buy an extra sport car retard

I already made it, poorfags

>buying an expensive watch to live flashy like a nigger when you still live in an apartment and drive a camry
Biz just never ceases to amaze.

>>9698568
>>9698620
nobody knows or cares what you spend on sunglasses, and there's really no difference between a good $20-50 pair and a $300 pair other than autism. If a chink company makes a quality $30 clone of a $300 pair of sunglasses, it's essentially the same thing at 1/10 the price. You're just deluding yourself, retard.

>>9698725
> t. insecure incel
The fact that you think the main reason why people buy very expensive watches is to get girls is pathetic. Most women won't notice/know you're wearing a Patek or an AP. Like you said, if you just want to impress gold digging whores then spend your money on a car.

>>9698112
>Jean Todt limited edition

>>9698768
So you’re doing it to stunt on guys then...

>>9697729
I don’t like wearing watches. The only time they have a use is when you’re running and need to check your time.

>>9698763
I never said spend $300, you absolute dumbfuck. I said don't buy it so cheap if you can afford better. Get your hands on a more expensive pair and you can feel the difference.

>>9698707
There's nothing wrong with that. That's why I haven't spent more than $20 on sunglasses, I'm a frugal person too. But if it didn't matter (and I haven't made it yet, so it does), I would spend some more to improve my own quality of life.

>>9698819
>I never said spend $300, you absolute dumbfuck. I said don't buy it so cheap if you can afford better. Get your hands on a more expensive pair and you can feel the difference.
diminishing returns on most things
your idea of quality is probably in your head desu

>>9698788
Flexing on what guys? Some 50+ fuck or some watchfag from biz or /r/watches? It's fucking stupid overall

>>9698833
That’s my point. Dude said he isn’t doing it for the girls.

Someone post that fat ass wrist with the gold watch

>>9697729

IWC to match my Merc clock

>>9698827
I don't disagree that eventually the money you spend is solely on the label, but it's not completely in my head.

Anecdote: I grew up with a shitty pair of glasses that you could probably snap in half with your hands. My friend, on the other hand, had an expensive pair that was literally sat on and nothing happened to it. Money saved from not having to buy another pair, because he spent a bit more.

>>9698871
anecdote means nothing and you can find chink shit that will last forever and "quality" expensive stuff that is trash, it's always case by case especially with modern consumer trash

this isn't 1947 anymore friend

>>9698858
Do male shoes that cost $800 actually exist?

>>9698887
Yes.
I just ordered a pair of adidas x raff simmons

>>9698323
What a beauty, considered picking one up recently, think I'll resist the fomo though

>>9698878
If you want to buy something that will last you forever, why would you aim for the obscure, cheapest option available?

>>9697729
Already rolling with it

>>9698868
Nice watch robin

>>9698898

>>9697729
Only right answer

>>9699023
I think I'd rather take one in silver

>>9699023
>>9699043
I would be down with one of these in sterling silver as a low key "made it"

cold war tubes. This or youre a poor fag. nearly impossible to find anymore.

>>9698911
you just aim for quality independent of price, i reject your idea that higher price = higher quality by necessity. It may be true in an extremely general sense but that's misleading at best in this context. We are on /biz/, get it together!

>>9699177

i can see an autistic obese neckbeard wearing this, waddling around trying to talk to women

Even Meindl shoes (best quality as far as brands go) are much cheaper.

100% this. Or buy a watch at all - you have a phone, use it.

Already have this, so nothing at all

>>9700363
wouldn't wear this tacky shit even if it was a gift, instant resell.

>>9697787
Did this company just spring up? This watch screams “im very rich and very autistic” perfect for 2017 bullrun fags

>>9700581
Not everyone wants to spend a lot of money on fashion, even if they're rich.

>>9697933
Not everybody lives in a nigger tier shithole.

Kek

>>9697729
I've already made it, you fucking poor nigger fags.

>>9698472
Yeah and certain 911s actually go up in value but you’re too poor to afford one

>>9699735
Fucking hell, I used to have one of those as a kid. I broke everything I wore all the time, but that thing lasted years.

8/10 ugly af but would buy again.

>>9697757
Before I opened the thread I just knew this watch was going to be in the second post.
Congrats on being a predictably contrarian manchild.

>>9701359
ur gonna get ur wrist amputated if you dont let that blood flow bro

>>9698482
You can buy $20 shoes that are perfectly fuctional. Anything over $20 is technically cosmetic.
Same principle with watches. And houses. And cars. And food. And literally everything.

idk this might come off as super gay

Yeah store of value when I hit you up aside your head when you're leaving a club and take that off you.

>Like decorative columns on buildings. They don't actually hold anything up, they're only they're to look pretty.
Completely wrong analogy.
Luxury mechanical watches are 100% functional, they just use old-world technology.

A more fitting analogy would be functional columns, but in an ancient Greek style.

>>9701494
Intredasting

>>9698991
>>9700727

Lol, literally nigger tier.

>>9701470
"Technically cosmetic" lol what? Functional doesn't mean they can't be better. Even $40 sneakers have better padding. More expensive cars typically have better safety features. It's not as applicable to watches, but things you actually use every day, you shouldn't cheap out on.

Brainlet.

>>9701850
Kek, are you really this mad about a conversation you're not a part of? My point isn't that he's wrong, my point is that you can aim for more of a return on the money you spend. You must not buy your own things.

>>9701873
You missed the point of the conversation. Look up the post he was replying to.

>>9697729
why the fuck would I want to buy a watch?

This guy: >>9701470
was trying to say that you shouldn't buy thing purely for their utility.

Rolex submariner. $80 USD from china only difference is it weighs 7g less and has a glass instead of sapphire lens.

Watches irritate the shit out of me

>>9698081
A watch is visibly strapped to your body 24/7, and typically lasts many years or even decades.
Cheaping out makes a very obvious statement about your personality.

>>9701359

Kek, the only one who used to have that mentality was a drug dealer i once knew. mighty proud of his Rolex. Yes, you literally have nigger mentality.

Step up plebs, pic related.

Currently use a plain casio watch and don't think I'll ever use anything else.

>>9701838
Not bad choice, Rado are pretty stylish and cheap enough to not be nigger tier. I'm thinking a Rado or pic related
