*mogs you*

Obviously the second one also buying expensive watches is Boomer tier

>>13376137
This one, but I'm just not a fan of gold.

>>13376138
Came here to post that one. Just don't get the metal version.

>>13376139
This. You’d be so much better served using that money to pay down a mortgage, or buy an income property. Hell, even a brokerage account at 5-7%. Don’t buy a time keeping device you retard

>>13376136
Get out of here with your trashy negro watches

>Git mogged

>>13376137
Pic related is far superior, both in form and function.

>>13376136

>>13376144
Having a rolex as the dreamwatch. The normiefication of this board is terminal stage

>>13376146
You one of those hipsters who wants to spend $20K on a watch that only horologists will recognize?
Literally no better than a $100 watch to normies, unless you brag like a homosexual wanker

>>13376136
>not using that money to invest in crypto

>>13376147
That's exactly the point, I don't need the validation from normies "wow you got a rolex!!!!!". I'll buy a nice watch (within reason) and that's it. Buying a rolex to impress girls is beyond pathetic

>spending more than $200 on a watch
>ever

never gonna make it

How can a watch be fit lmao

>>13376149
So you like wasting money on expensive stuff, but hate brand names and want non-name goods that nobody will recognise.
Congrats, you're a total moron.

>>13376136
>bragging on chinese cardboard collecting forum about his expensive purchase
Holy shit these wannabe rich fags are the worst people, literally every social circle sees them as subhumans

>>13376152
>I am incapable of developing tastes so I'm going to buy what the people tells me
>call moron everybody else

Makes sense.

>>13376154
Wasting money for the sake of wasting money is not taste, it's a crutch for people without it, pleb

>>13376149
>t. unimpressionable virgin

>>13376137
>>13376136
at that price point you have so many haute horlogerie options and you decide to go for a fucking ugly ass rolex

>>13376157
Rolex has the highest resale value, are you retarded?

I saw a used Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch for a nice (yet still fairly steep) price.
However, it's still seven times the price of my Tissot T-Race or Bulova Precisionist, and both are watches I'm really fond of. Besides, there are precious few occasions that call for wearing watches that nice - I legit wear my Casio DW-5600 and Suunto Vyper Novo more than those watches, and that's saying a lot - the latter is a goddamned diving computer!
The Omega, I'd use even less. Fancy dress watch like that, and it'd feel out of place to wear it for much more than the maybe three weeks of the year it'd be suitable to wear it.

>>13376158
If you have the money to buy one you should just keep it for the rest of your life. Everybody can save 10k usd and then waste it on shit. If you have to think about reselling, it means you can't afford it.

>>13376159
But anon we're all trying to be alpha here

>>13376160
Yep you're retarded

>>13376155
just goes to show that you don't know SHIT about watches.

>>13376136
The first one of course

>>13376136
Only times you go out its because of school, work or the gym. Who yiu trynna impress?

>>13376161
The little voice in my head says it'd be a cool thing to get, and I don't have a "proper" dress watch, and speaking quite frankly I want it and can afford it. Those are the reasons for getting it.
On the other hand, it's a great deal of money for what I would only wear as a piece of jewelry, and that that in a place where people think dressing up means putting on your cleanest AC/DC shirt and submerging yourself in Axe body spray. I'd feel as pretentious as a kindergarten teacher showing up to work in a designer suit.

>>13376136
>I'm a wristlet

>>13376136
>>13376137
These are both poor choices.

The first one, the Rolex Submariner in two tone with blue dial, will look absolutely laughable on you unless you are literally a wall-street banker or a New York financier. This is their watch. Unless you are one of them you will look like an idiot or worse, people will assume it's fake.

The second one, The Rolex Datejust I with diamond indices is slightly better but the diamonds are for niggers. You will look like a rapper, or worse, like you are wearing a fake watch.

You can get great rolexs for these prices, so don't go for the ugly hype beast rapper shit.

I would personally buy a Rolex GMT Master II in any color. Or an Explorer I or Explorer II Polar or a datejust without diamond or number indices. these ones are conservative, timeless, classic, while still being flashy and blingy.

Plus: seems like you already like the datejust. Just get that exact same one you posted without the diamond indices. Then you'll look successful and wealthy and be wearing a beautiful timeless classic watch that doesn't make you look like a rapper wearing a fake, or a gaudy Saudi billionaire with no taste.

These are all still rolexs too so it's not like no ones gonna not recognize them. They just won't be disgusted by your shitty taste

>>13376146
Rolex is for normies and boomers. Unless you're buying a Rolex from the 50s, you're gonna look like you have no class. Buy a JLC or really any other traditional Swiss brand and you'll be fine.

>>13376166
Neither of those two watches are dress watches. If you want a really nice dress watch then buy a Cartier tank or a JLC MUT Moonohase and call it a day. Both f those would look ridiculous in a formal setting. Like a black dude with gold grillz and a diamond chain and medallion in a navy blazer and a tie.

>>13376167
Franck Muller Vanguard ghettoise. Nice

>>13376138
Just bought it again

>>13376167
THANK YOU HUNGRY SKELLINGTON

I have a Rolex and two Omegas. My Rolex gets more attention but my Omegas get better attention, if that makes sense. I want a PP eventually

>>13376174
>spending money to get attention

cope

>>13376141
why?

>>13376175
I collect watches because I like watches, not for attention. But I assumed that's what most people on here would want them for lol

>>13376167
You have been visited by the HAIRY HUNGRY SKELLINGTON.

SAY THANK YOU TO THE HUNGRY SKELLINGTON OR BE CURSED WITH FOREVER MINIMUM WAGE.

>>13376174
nice one, post the others

>>13376176
Scratches are more visible and happen more easily than on the black version. it also looks worse if you replace the metal wrist strap with canvas which you'll most likely end up doing eventually.

>>13376178
why you gotta do him like that?

The only acceptable watch over $200

>implying the watch industry has any craftsmanship left to admire
Watches stopped being worth anything as soon as their movements were mass produced. Not a single watch brand uses handcrafted movements anymore.

>>13376182
>wasting money on any watches other than rolex
With increased valuation my rolex will sell in higher price the more i wear, it's like i got paid to wear rolex and you pay to wear unclassy cheap plastic toy

>>13376136
Bought this last year. Suck it up you wannabe upper class pleb.

How does rolex compared with DW?

>>13376138
Nice. The only one I wear

>>13376183
What if you trip over the curb and scrape the shit out of it

The superior watch from a better time

>>13376188
>superior
>costs $5, fakest looking gold

>>13376187
>rolex
>scraped
Yeah the curb will scraped bad if that happens

>>13376178
Besides all of the after market diamonds it looks real.

>>13376184
Grand Seiko is the patrician's choice

>>13376190
Lol like you wouldn't fully evacuate your bowels

>>13376192
Not my style. Seiko is good regardless

I punch every watch-wearing fag i see. Not once has he done anything but cry and bitch out completely.

>>13376195
Nice fantasy, tasteless poorfag

Pic related cost like 50 bucks and gets women moist every time I crawl out of my basement.

>>13376196
Nice tri- oh. Singles I guess. Hm.

>>13376136

this is my dream watch
i hope one day i'll make enough to be able to buy this

>>13376197
I didn't know that brand, they look awesome and are really cheap. Are they shitty or fake or something?

>>13376201
They are tacky as shit and made out of cheap Chinese plastic.

>>13376144
>dream watch
hurrr durrr i selected the most expensive thing off rolex.com and its my dream watch
I'd rather have a submariner worth 8k than that piece of shit at 50k

I've had good experiences with orients, this one in particular caught my eye. And if you really want a submariner then get a stainless steel one. also consider Hulks since you're on fit after all...

>not getting a patek Phillipe watch

It's a steal at $400,000

>>13376197
Looks cheap and nasty mate, throw it in the bin.

>>13376202
>cheap Chinese plastic
i heard it gives you cancer, can't believe someone wear it on their wrists

>>13376170
Me oh my, that is SLICC. Thanks for the tip, brother.

>>13376138
wtf i googled this and it says water resistant up to 30 meters but this does not mean you can swim with it. what rating do you need a watch to have to be able to wear it while swimming? 50 meters?

>>13376209
standard is 100m
swiss watches usually go until 330m

>>13376208
the JLC MTU Perpetual is beautiful

>>13376178
thank you hungry skellington

>>13376183
>b-but muh r-rolex

>>13376201
Old brand that was brought back. Basically what you can expect for the price, they're ok watches that look nice.

>>13376202
Yeah it's most definitely not made out of plastic.

>>13376206
Yeah I just said that it's cheap.

>>13376214
>Yeah I just said that it's cheap.

>>13376136
>>13376137
buy a fake rollie and a real cartier tank
thank me later

>>13376216
I'll thank you now:

Thanks for wasting my time, asshole.

>>13376217
enjoy being considered a gullible nouveau riche by people with actual wealth
if you really want to burn money on some tacky shit at least get a bamford or something resellable like a green or black sub

>>13376209
100 or 200. These numbers are for static water pressure, it's very different from swimming

>>13376182
But this is a $100 model

>>13376218
No, faggot. I tell time with my phone. If I want to wear something around my wrist I'll snatch your dad's Vietnam dog tags off the bedpost next time I'm over there ramming his ass.

>>13376155
>>13376152
>y-you mean other people don't want to build an identity around brands and like the watches for their own sake?
>they must be wasting money!

>>13376184
Nice watch senpai. I have a seiko diver. Not sure why people would waste 40x the money for an omega or a rolex submemer

>>13376221
chill keyboard warrior

Dream watch

Favourite watch I own

>>13376225
*smacks lips* u betta have some juicy forearms cuz ur wrist gonbe FAT

>>13376227
Yeah, would look comical in my almost 7 in wrists. Going to make an exception for it, though.

>>13376224
Sorry. I didn't mean to sound angry. I'm speaking matter-of-factly. If I feel like wearing something around my wrist, that's my most likely option.

>>13376136
This one

>>13376178
THANK YOU HUNGRY SKELETON

>>13376136
Rolex is for posers who have a bit of money and want everyone to know it.
Get a Jaeger LeCoultre if you actually have money.

>>13376138
Terrorist

submariner if u want ur watch to hold its value. (value will go up)

proud owner of hulk :)

PSA: DO NOT BUY EXPENSIVE WATCHES UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY FUCKING RICH

>>13376178
Thank you hungry skeleton

>>13376168
archie, is that you?

>>13376235
why not

>>13376152
>>13376149
You're a fucking retarded. People here buy designer stuff (or older posters used to) and most people have no fucking idea how expensive those clothes are.
You should buy those things because you like them, not because someone will recognise the brand.
You must be really happy for buying stuff just because will be impressed by it...

>>13376146
>>13376147
>teens who wear casio are commenting on watches that they know nothing about.

Although I think Rolex is these days overpriced, you cannot deny their history and inventions when it comes to mechanical watches.
One day I will get a Rolex for myself for their heritage value and craftsmanship. Then I will give it to my kid. Have fun with your casios.

>>13376160
This. It’s as dumb as the idiots trying to justify yeezys by saying that you can resell them. I love Rolex and a yellow gold 36mm Day Date is one of my grails, but if “you can resell it” is one of your deciding factors then you can’t afford it.

>>13376149

It's a gift to yourself to celebrate your success and remind you of it and why you do what you do every time you look at it. And you can probably have disgusting, but delicious sex with women that like power and success (protip; that's most of them) on top of that.
Also, you probably won't lose money and might even make some when you sell it or trade it for something better. And fuck your service costs, a Rolex will run fine without servicing it for twenty years. We have phones for accuracte time.

tldr; fuck you, pay me

>>13376137
>>13376136
Definitely the Datejust over the Sub. Not a fan of diamonds and even less a fan of two tone though. Have you considered a used Day Date?

>>13376178
THANK YOU HUNGRY SKELLINGTON

>>13376178
This watch is probably like 40-50k. This rich fag should have purchased a nice sandwich instead

>>13378408
What’s wrong with black dials on metal bracelets?

>>13376178
Thank you hungry skellington

>>13379045
Nothing but it’s the antithesis of a “fancy dress watch.”

>>13379045
he isnt implying there is something wrong with that, he's saying that moon phase, black dial on metal bracelet, and chrono are all features that make a watch for casual wear, not fancy dress

>>13379174
>>13379166
I see. Thanks for clarifying, I didn’t read the entire post of the guy he was replying too because it hurt my brain and made me angry.
