If you want to change the timezone on this watch do you just have to push the pusher a dozen times?

What should I buy instead of a Tudor, but that is in the same price range?

>>15291024
Omega Sneedmaster

>>15291024
IWC, sinn, high end citizen, low end grand seiko, muhle glashütte

>>15291024
Save for a rolex

>>15291024
Vostok amphibia

>>15291024
dignity

>>15291018
well ya.
and the watch will automatically calculate the timezone and adjust the hour hand for you

theres also a pusher at the side, if you want to advance the hour hand without moving the cities.

I mean I’m a lazy Amerifat and even I can spin the metal thingy once a day

speaking of world timers, why the fuck is breitlings world time watch never mentioned? that shit is cool as fuck

i wish the watch design was better but it does cool stuff like daylight savings adjustment and automatic date adjustment while changing time zones.

The most important thing to consider here is that streetwear brands and associated outlets understand exactly who it is that puts food on their table. They also know the "culture" that they claim to be part of (materialism cloaked in the guise of counterculture neatly packaged for consumption) holds as central inspiration an ethos of getting it by any means. Finessing, stealing, subversion of authority are among the core precepts underlying the subcultures responsible for the success of brands like Supreme, Kith, etc. Even if they were absolutely fuming, streetwear brands can't possibly say anything negative about it, because to do so would be to destroy their brands overnight. Instead, the smart ones, knowing exactly who their customers are. would have moved to preempt this from occurring, as demonstrated by Kith barricading their flagship (still got robbed) and Nike Lab hiring a private security team while the rest of SoHo was being ripped to shreds. If Ronnie Fieg and James Jebbia are as smart as I think they are, they'll just take screenshots from their surveillance footage and print them on "commemorative" limited edition t-shirts to become some idiot's "grail" in 2035.

The same people waiting in line for hours for a chance at super-rare-limited-edition-collab™ are the first ones who will turn up to rob you, because this is the ethos with which streetwear, and now the luxury brands who have co-opted it, has always aligned itself. Especially vulnerable are those places that feed off the hype economy, namely Round Two, Stadium Goods, Flight Club, et al. because those are the places most blatantly capitalizing off young people's addiction to commodity as means of self-worth. No one cares actually cares about these places, they're just obsessed with what they have. So to hear Virgil Abloh and Sean Wotherspoon crying about "culture" is rich (No, I do not think they should have been robbed.) Nor was it even limited to young men –– because the people looting Hermès and Lululemon are not the same as those who ran through Ubiq and Adidas. The snake is just eating itself.

Where I come from we have a saying about feeding the wolves. If you bring wolves around you without feeding them, in this context status-crazed young people whose sense of self-worth is tied to their ability to obtain and display your shit, they are going to eat you. Yes, fashion brands and streetwear shops were hit, but people were not after fashion, they were after status symbols during a period of extreme socioeconomic inequality. Rolex was hit, Vacheron Constantin – despite being higher-end – was not. Nike and Adidas, boom; New Balance, you're good. Dior? Sure. Issey Miyake? We don't know her.

One would hope that brands and houses would reflect on this and play their role in promoting better values, but we all know they won't. It's too much money on the table.

So many nice watches that I want but I always end up buying facebook shares instead.
I think I’ll have to give up my dream of an Explorer and just buy some micromeme instead.

>>15290998
Suggest a GMT for me
CAD $3500
Automatic
Leather strap preferably.

Right now I only have 3 watches:
Datejust 41 12300
Seiko SKX007
Victorinox pic related

Is an Air King just an Explorer with an ugly dial?

>>15291088
the strap does not matter because most watches that aren't garbage will let you swap out the strap to whatever you want and then for 100-300 dollars you can get all sorts of insane bespoke leather straps including with custom work done and it's not even a lot of money because you're willing to spend 3500 on the watch anyway.
as for the watch itself those grand seiko GMTs are totally sick and you can get them for around 3k USD used, I don't know how much that is in moose money but it's probably within budget

>>15291089
explorer is superior in every single way

>>15291087
>facebook shares
I know jack shit about /biz/ness, why do you buy facebook specifically?

>>15291099
not him but facebook is where all the boomers are and zucc is willing to adapt to keep it alive whereas all the other platforms are too flash in the pan and led by weak willed people with dying userbases of low IQ zoomers all wanting to jump on to the next thing while facebook has long term established communities
if you want to invest in social media that's probably the safest bet, everything else is hanging on by a thread and the users are waiting to jump ship, except facebook where they're largely happy to stay there

>>15291084
>>15291081

fair argument by whomever wrote it. but brands capitalizing on the image of being edgy, cool and with it is a story as old as time.

>>15291095
Thats 4000 Canadian which is not too bad for me but I was looking for a new watch not a
>HEY GUYS JUST BOUGHT THIS NEW-TO-ME WATCH THAT SOMEONE WORE TO WIPE THEIR ASS HEHE

>>15290998
Is that a bromelia in the background?

>>15291099
I think they will turn into the next Amazon once they get their new shop thing up and running and whatsapp has massive potential in India and the third world as a moneymaker.
Biggest risk is Zuck fucking up too much politcally.
Basically if I have to choose just one stock to be in for the next 5-10 years they are far and away my top choice. I am more diversified than them of course, but it’s my biggest single holding.

>>15291113
they are not -that- expensive. ive seen meteorite being offered on shopping channels like the like...though obviously the bigger the whole piece is the more expensive they are

meteorite rings like this is only about $100 ish

>>15291121
I see what you're getting at, but I still think they're horribly overvalued.
But so is 99% of the (american) stock market. somehow we all left reality.
>Pic related. My 'Ima stockbroker, bitch!' grail watch

>>15291077
the mechanism might be cool but man that looks mall watch AF

>>15291131
That…that's horrible!
But also 1/50th of the size you'd need to make a watch from.
but I just checked. Apparently you can buy a slice of meteorite for a watch dial for 79€.
Interesting. I though large meteorites are in the 10-100k range and that no one would cut one of those to pieces.
Seems like I was wrong.
Oh well, my dreams of becoming rich by meteorite collecting are smashed now. So I'll keep on dreaming my golddigger dream.

1st for the goat

Is this too big?

For me, it's the SKX007. But when I woke up today, it doesn't work anymore for some reason and something is rattling inside it if I shake it... I'm going to have to get it repaired. So today, for me, it's the PADI Turtle.

>>15291154
Doxas are so cool I wish I had a chadwrist instead of a poindexter wrist to pull them off.

>>15291154
how many people actually want to spend $40,000 on a ugly lump of rock

its cool and all but they probably make more money slicing it up into a million pieces

theres fake meteorite too so have to be careful

Just bought my first automatic watch. I went with a blue dial Orient Helios and am going to swap it to a black croc band. Did I make a good choice for my first budget automatic? I wanted an open heart because I’m new to automatics and wanted to see the movement working, I think it’s super cool. I like how Orient has an in house movement, and the price was right for me. I like the dial on the Helios better than the bambino’s, main reason I went with the Helios. If the domed mineral glass gets scratched I plan to upgrade to a sapphire one. Pic is not mine, just grabbed from google.

>>15291131
more about meteorites

The pattern on a sliced meteorite is called the Widmanstätten pattern, and this is created when molten metal cools extremely slowly over millions of years. (such as in the core of a planet)

this pattern cannot be recreated in the lab, or found on surface earth rocks. The sliced meteorite has to be bathed in weak acid to show this pattern, otherwise its not visible. (acid etching)

. >95% of meteorite is also magnetic and prone to rusting.

Is this a good first Rolex?

>>15291339
I'm pretty sure you could recreate it in a lab. Or at least something similar looking.

>>15291284
just had the same thing happen last week. a pin came out of the bracelet and it dropped on the floor. the rotor came loose so i tightened it up and seems to run fine but we'll see lol

>>15291305
think the sub 300 is only like 42 mm and 46 lug2lug. if you can wear an skx youre probably fine

>>15291284
Did you try giving it a twist? Sometimes stopped watches can be restarted by, effectively, giving the balance a (relative) tug from outside.

>>15291344
Literally the perfect watch for any occasion. If you buy this you might never need another Rolex at least. Maybe some time later a GMT Master but why bother. One of my favourite dials also, however this seems to be the bigger version? Either way can't go wrong with a Datejust, I'd suggest the smaller model but that's your choice.

>>15291349
there is fake "imitation" meteorite, but they are obvious af

it needs to be cooled extremely slowly and its not recreatable, the "strands" or pattern in the metal crisscross and mesh up.

Are those baltic watches overpriced or does the fact that French fegs assemble and verify the parts make it "worth it"?

>>15291377
cooled slowly over millions of years*
also, this pattern runs throughout the metal in a real meteorite. You can slice it any section you want and it will still show up after. In a fake one its obviously just crude surface etching

>>15291380
how much is it?
you obviously want it, you've been asking about them for so many threads already

>>15291339

>implying these or not actually fragments of a galactic supercomputer

>company is called baltic
>they're not baltic

>>15291324
i like open hearts and skeletons.

orient has a hardon for open hearts, they have been doing it for a few decades.

just be mindful and not be a klutz and you'll be fine about scratches, the dome on the helios is quite high. Polishing mineral crystal is possible with diamond paste and a buffing cloth attached to a dremel or drill. But you can also get it replaced.

>>15291403
>company is called pagani design
>they are not italian nor do any designing

>>15291415

>>15291351
Mine seems to have stopped about 30 minutes before I went to bed last night. I had been wearing it every day for years, so maybe it just needs to be serviced.
>>15291355
I tried shaking and fiddling with it for around 20 minutes earlier and it moved only about 15 seconds forward. I have a hunch that it has something to do with the winding mechanism, but I really don't know why it would make that noise when I shake it.

>>15291059
how do you know when to stop?

im scared I might overwind it and damage the internals

>>15291433
I just give it 12-16 winds a day

>>15291433
The resistance to turning will increase significantly at the end of the wind. Just don't be a careless gorilla and yank the crown with all your might and you'll be fine.

>>15291430
Try putting the watch body on a flat surface and turning it briskly around the center axis once to the left and then to the right, just once. This may kickstart it. Don't persist if it doesn't, there's nothing that a third time would do that twice already wouldn't.

>>15291455
No luck, but thanks for the suggestion. It sounds and feels like something is knocked loose inside

>>15291084
our of actual watch brands normies only know Rolex/Omega/Patek and maybe Tag Heuer

VC is out of the consideration for 99.99% of people

>>15291380
No. Spend extra and get a yema if you want a frenchfag watch.

>>15291418
The funny thing is that is literally the story behind the name rolex

How long after your last watch purchase do you wait before looking at the next one? What's an acceptable time frame to wait until you buy the next step up? Is it ever ok to make a step down in range? I want to avoid being stuck with too many shitters. So far I have 2 cheap ones and a mildly expensive watch. Love them all but 5 pieces overall would be perfection and every purchase I made has me more convinced of what I like and want to get next.

>>15291509
My sister looked at me surprised when I said her that Rolex is basically the on lowest tier of the luxury side of watches and totally not the best brand.Said it when she told me a friend of her told her she bought a 8k eur rolex for her husband like it was the biggest deal ever.

rolex's movements are so basic I don't get why they get dick sucked so hard. the value is simply not there

I regret selling my orients. I had a sun and moon, and a bambino ver 2. I actually miss them both. Might need to rebuild them, although the prices are more expensive than what I paid back then.

>>15291395
Bout 600 for a Chinese bought movement.

>>15291522
idk check the time on your watch

Hi!!

>>15291541
to be fair its not any random-ass mystery chinese movement, its a Seagull. Seagull makes about 25% of the movements in the entire world; they are also capable of complicated stuff like dual axis tourbillons.

the ST1901 is popular and has been tested by time;

i think its a okayish price considering that Seagull themselves sell their own Tianjin made 1963 for about $450. Well, consider the $100 extra as a "love tax" and "supporting the small guys"

>>15290998
is it bad if I like this nomos
almost got it a few years back but couldn't try it on in person

>>15291522
A few months to a year, or once the novelty wears off in rotation, including the rub-off novelty on my earlier watches. I'll wear a good shitter for a month or two up-front just to appreciate its good bits.

just bought this, does it look too tacky tho?

>>15291577
don’t be retarded, everyone likes or at least is okay with that watch. Enjoy anon, #CASIOGANG 4lyfe

Fuck bros I want it so bad but it would be really irresponsible to get it now.
I can afford it but it would be a non-negligible chunk of change.

>>15291577
No anon that's a great watch, distinctly retro but also timeless and restrained. Unironically better than shit like the Royal Oak

>>15291568
why is it bad, i think its a nice looking watch

but apparently its a bit on the chonky side

Found this 90s timex while thrifting. After shoving a new battery in I was pleasantly surprised that everything works. Ordered a black nato for it because I'm not gonna wear the fucking disgusting leather strap.

>>15291583
ah yes that was the problem, the lugs extended 50 feet over my wrist despite the watch not being too wide

>>15291583

>>15291586
VERY cool.

>>15291583
>chonky side
Shut the FUCK up.

>>15291580
you could give the money to me and I can keep it for you for a few years ;)

but seriously.....nah man. Maybe hold out for a few weeks and see if your feelings change.

>>15291586
thats cool

>>15291586
timex design makes me COOM

>>15291593
definitely the best nomos. a bit too expensive in my opinion, or else it would be a real contender.

Is this a Nomos HATE thread?

Damn...

>>15291525

simple how?

>>15291607
>>15291580
ugh

>>15291556
Awesome watch anon, the ring is not bad either.
How can you afford so many watches?

>>15291580
Buy it. World is ending anyway.

>>15291558
i cannot find any english info about this, but apparently(?) they also have a triple axis.
google translated info:
"At (2014) Baselworld Fair, Seagull launched a more complex "Odd Wing( Qiyi) Tourbillon No. 2"-a three-axis three-dimensional rotating tourbillon. "

Technical characteristics:
1. The maximum diameter of the movement is 33.8mm, the thickness is 6.9mm, and the swing frequency is 21600/bph
2. The rotation speed of the inner axle, middle axle and outer axle of the three-axis tourbillon are 1 minute, 2.5 minutes and 9 minutes (per rotation respectively)

Be advised: Neptune SE's are in stock. I repeat, Neptune SE's are in stock.

Sup mr. parmesan? Forever jelly of that chronometre bleu. Too bad it seems like it's going to be even more unobtanium than it already was. In other news I sold the obris & got a new bracelet for the seaforth.

>>15291657
back off, she’s mine!

>>15291577
No,it's flashy on a good way, looks retro and people loves retro, for sure people will notice your watch.

my dear friends

what do you think of this watch

>>15291739
Looks like a fatter, uglier version of an old classic

For me, it's

>>15291787
I like it even though people complain it's not real metal, but I wish they had kept those super retro style bracelets instead of the oyster they have going on now. Oysters are so boring

>>15291791
Wait what? Isn't the bracelet here >>15291787
The one it always came with? Any pictures comparing old and new?

>>15291803
You're right I'm retarded and was mixing it up with those old Casio Melody watches. Still wish they had gone with that type of bracelet.

>>15291628

1) yes they are extremely comfortable
2) there are a bunch of brands but the important thing is the quality of the buckle. the bottom dollar ones have shitty buckles that are stamped badly and feel like soda tab pull cans. the better ones will actually advertise that they have a superior buckle

how the fuck do they do it

>>15292325
Just didn't wear the obris anymore to be honest. It had been sitting in my watch case for several months beforehand. Putting the seaforth on this bracelet has convinced me to keep it even once I get the BB58 too.

>>15292335
oh, its a mechanical too. Alloy case sadly, but sapphire glass!

What is the most scratch-resistant case material?
Damasko with their ice hardened meme? Some coatings? Ive seen ceramic chip off of some Omega or whatwasit.
And why are Sinn such fags, that they put some of their meme tech in one watch, but some other meme tech in the other. Why not have the option of a full-blown movement with all the gizmos?

>>15292341
Sapphire, but you're only going to see full sapphire cases on fuckyou priced hublots or whatever.

>>15292349
haha no

>>15292350
Oh, well there you go. "Only" $5k :^)
Too bad it looks ghastly.

>>15292351

so many fuckyou watches are

>>15292360
I never implied that at all, the hublots are too.

Ive just about had it with automatics.
Post handsome quartz watches that dont break the bank. No overcomplicated dials, but no obscure JDM vintage dress pieces.
Pic related, would cop in a heartbeat, had it not been for the name on the dial.

>>15292335
I think I remember watching a review on youtube, IIRC a lot of those complications are non functional, or at least don't behave as they should.

>>15292277
I would say no, unless it's St. Patrick's Day or if it's your favorite color. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not into it, personally.

You may say they're hideous but I love this thing. It just looks so weird

>>15292382
i like that it has a theme and sticks with it 100%

but imagine trying to read this thing in the sun..

>>15292378
not non functional, but manual ;)
eh, cant complain for the price!

if it was cheaper i wouldn't care in the end if its a franken or not.
but for that price it better comes in excellent condition and certified.

Cheers lads for the tips. Really like my new watch.

>>15292436

>>15292431

Bot that anon, but the economic conditions we are currently in tend to drop prices for luxury items on secondary markets.

One of the bigger used luxury watch sellers in this country (Spiegelgracht Juweliers Amsterdam) just changed the radio commercial to fit the times,or at least I suspect they did. They went from:
>'have you been dreaming about a Rolex, Omega or Cartier watch for years? We have the largest collection of occasions of the most famous brands with 2 year warranty!.
To:
>'Do you no longer wear your Rolex, or do you NEED MONEY? We buy Rolexes!!'

It seems to be a buyers market, even for parties that typically sell..

>>15292454
did you order it from poljot?

ive been mulling over that watch for a long time too

wtf I just noticed that whenever you browse for a watch on the official Rolex site all the watches always show the correct date and time for my timezone. Is this new or am I simply retarded? I thought it was literally a still image but it's an animation instead, mind blown.

I've never considered a white face or strap, but I'm really liking wearing this.

GMTs are a bad watch to want. For some reason the 'colorful' Rolexes go completely insane on secondary markets.. The Hulk & Kermit subs don't seem to be coming down either.

More basic steel like Explorer Is, OPs and Datejusts do seem a little cheaper now when I look around. Though to be honest I haven't made notes or a graph, it's just my impression.

But both of you probably aren’t moving around enough to “wind” the watch. Give it the old seiko shake for about 30 seconds and I believe that equates to around a half hourish of run time.

Also the rotors in these movements are notoriously noisy, doesn’t mean your watch is broken. Still doesn’t hurt to take it to a local watchmaker to have it checked out tho if it’s bothering you.

>>15292502
Which part of doesnt break the bank and no obscure JDM did you not comprehend, homie?

Recommend me some simple classy watches with no branding or naming visible.

That one in the pic.

thats a $2 alibaba watch

>>15292550
Laco Paderborn or a whole ton of Aliexpress watches that cost 20USD or less.

Tell me where I can buy this King Seiko, I have only ever seen one go for 600 AUD on an instagram page.

>ref 5856-8100S

>>15292550
Very light hint of name on dial.

>>15292550
movado if you want an actual watch. their branding is so small it might as well not be there.

or search 'sterile dials' on AE or ebay or whatever. Logo, nameless mechanical homage watches

You said obscure vintage jdm. These are current production.

All of san martins watches are available with no logo, they have their own website and a store on AliExpress. They mostly make divers but they also do some pretty nice classic pilot watches with several different dial designs.

>Artya creations are quite often “out there”, and the brand is almost on the “eccentric fringe” of watchmaking

>Well one way of grabbing peoples attention is to raise a stink and perhaps that was the intention of ArtYa when they released their Dinosaur Dung watch; or to use the correct model name “Coprolite” (fossilized feces).

>>15292565
Was going to bid on that one but didn’t get in before the 2 hour cutoff. Would like to know where I could get one also

>>15292684

there was an artist who sold cans of his own shit. And people actually bought it.

>A tin was sold for €124,000 at Sotheby's on May 23, 2007; in October 2008 tin 83 was offered for sale at Sotheby's with an estimate of £50,000–70,000. It sold for £97,250. On October 16, 2015, tin 54 was sold at Christies for £182,500. In August 2016, at an art auction in Milan, one of the tins sold for a new record of €275,000, including auction fees. The tins were originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold – $37 each in 1961 – with the price fluctuating according to the market.

Someone who has that amount of money for frivolous purchases is quite simply a blight on humanity as it is impossible that he gained it without exploitation of others.

As an upper middle class person should I despise the poor or the rich more?

>>15292775
Let me guess the nose size of the people bidding

>>15292690
if you're trying to flex in front of poorfags, sure

>>15292793
The rich, for enforcing income divisions that retard your otherwise eventual social mobility up into lower upper class. There are few rational reasons to despise the poor that'd match the target as such.

>>15292779

>>15292793
The poor obviously, gotta suck up to your masters to remain where you are.

>>15292793
Yourself

>>15292793
You should despise the fact that you are British.

How low a budget are we talking here? Glashütte Original has a similar watch.
If we are talking about sub $500 watches I can't really think of one. Maybe some weird timex? Or the Orient Sun and Moon?

>>15292904
I honestly think this is the most beautiful watch ever made, or is at the very least a strong contender.

>>15293043
I obviously don't. And I know that things aren't 100% financially fair. But I am not so angry and spiteful that when I see someone online who has more money than me I would feel the need to verbally abuse them with dehumanising insults. I know this is 4chan, but I can tell you aren't joking.

You should become a salt tycoon and buy yourself an F.P. Journe.

>>15293096
That's what I would expect. Your hatred will consume you. I'm not saying you should change your politics but you should certainly try to harbour less hate for your fellow man.

>>15292793

>>15293103
Why? He's scum, he's not my fellow man, there's no humanity in him. If he was, he'd have shared his ridiculous wealth with me and my family instead of amassing it in his coin pool. Why would I share any of my good will with him when he's the enemy? You are either a naive cuck or a malevolent globalist if you're seriously suggesting this to others.

>>15293125
You should give me your money

>>15293125
>he'd have shared his ridiculous wealth with me and my family
So, you're just dirt poor and salty. Check

>>15293125

>>15293125
>He's scum, he's not my fellow man
Do you not see how even your language is compatible to any other hate based movement. Dehumanising a common enemy. He clearly thinks differently to you, you are holding him to your own imagined standard, you believe that someone who has money has an obligation to share it and are assuming that other people think the same, and that therefore if they don't it's because they want you to suffer. He is not your enemy or the enemy. I don't deny economic imbalances. I am not a malevolent globalist but I also don't think I am naive, I've hated my fellow man too.
This quote from John Adams sums things up.
>To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse

>>15293125
there are definitely tens of millions of people worse off than you at least, just considering the fact you are able to post on the internet in a thread about luxury watches. what are you doing for them? right or wrong, you can't force anyone else to be altruistic or selfless. just do what you can.

>>15293168
>compatible
comparable*

Quite a beauty.
Sky blue dials make very nice dress watches for thr summer months in my eyes.

>>15293175
can vintage Seikos be considered an alternative to the "vintage swiss dress watch" Meme?

>>15293145
What an incredibly astute observation. Yes, of course, I am the underclass, would I have a reason to genuinely complain about my station if I were wealthy? I'd be busy living the life this puddle of diarrhea is living on my expense.

>>15293168
Yeah, let's humanize our enemies while they're thrusting their swords into our intestines, what a totally non-cucked philosophy.

>To amuse you very shortly, you know D.T. Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki, when we are young hippies, the glorious propagator in the hippy west of Buddhism, he not only fully supported Japanese invasion of China but he faced this problem: I have to kill you in war. He said, if I remain caught in the illusion of my ordinary reality, I perceive myself as an agent killing you. I may hate you, who knows, but it’s difficult for me. Then, he says, if you go through a Buddhist enlightenment, you see that you have no self. You became a passive observer of your acts and I no longer perceive me stabbing a knife into your eye as my act but just, as he puts it, my knife is dancing around and in the cosmic dance of phenomena, your eye seems to stumble upon it. Was he a psychopath or not?

>>15293201
>living on my expense.
Congrats. You're the biggest idiot I have come across these threads. It's impressive, actually.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>15293199
I don't know if vintage Seiko's are that great of an alternative at this point. Nice seikos with desirable dials or with high beat movements or their fancy quartz movements are just as expensive as old omegas at this point.

>>15293175
It's a shitty redial, here's what an original 5740-8020 looks like.
If you like it so much you can still buy it though

i just feel like the prices for all of these have gone up, to the poit where a vintage tissot costs the same as a new one.

>https://www.ebay.com/itm/274381923420
guess where i got that picture from.
i feel like this is going to go well over what its worth tho.
yours is a very nice example by the way.

>>15293209
But your blaming all your problems on an individual and lashing out at him just because he has money and comparing him to the Japanese who invaded China. You are the same as the guys who blame the Jews for everything.
Again I'm not pretending there aren't economic injustices, but your over simplification has lead you to having an intense vitriolic hatred towards anyone you perceive to have more than you. As another anon pointed out, there are millions worse off that you, who could view you in the same way you view the person higher up in this thread with the expensive watch. And where would it get them? Nowhere, just the same place but now they aren't only poor but they are seething with anger.

>>15291430
I don't know anything about watches but this is the only good looking watch I have ever seen.

>try to find watch to look at in person before buying
>none of the 15 stores I called have it
>sellers try to give me deal to order it

I kept saying I need to handle it in person before buying since it's bigger than I normally want but they are all like"i gib 20% off" bitch that price is still more than if I ordered it from home and It still doesn't help me. I hate sales people.

>>15293229
I'm not sure why anyone would particularly want it though, you only have to compare the indices on the redial to see what poor quality they are. Stuff like that always makes me wary of what else has been altered or replaced with poor quality parts.

>>15293199
>>15293213

If those times are over, what is now the hot 'buy it now before it becomes unaffordable' insider timepiece?

>>15293238
>>But your blaming all your problems on an individual
Why would I absolve an individual of collective guilt when he's very clearly participating in the unjust system? Who is he to me that I should make such an exception? That's complete insanity, it's literally what's been described in the quote in this post >>15293209 - maybe if we think of his dick in our ass as just a collection of atoms colliding with each other it will be less painful for us? Pathetic cuckoldry aka cope.

>>15293238
>your over simplification has lead you to having an intense vitriolic hatred towards anyone you perceive to have more than you.
