/fa/ - Fashion

Thoughts on collecting watches from movies/TV shows? The only reason I became a watch nerd was because I really wanted the watch worn by Dexter. Was lucky to find one on eBay.

>>17668244
>Stella Ellis
Perfect for those who want their watch to sound like a middle aged British woman

>>17668248

>>17668241

That would make sense but IIRC the latest Seiko 5s that got announced recently seem to be reasonably priced at $415

>>17668248
My boss has been itching for a Murph because of Interstellar.

That also makes the Rolex Daytona your personal final boss

>>17668248
>Thoughts on collecting watches from movies/TV shows?
Kind of an unhealthy fixation. Do you see yourself as a serial murderer?

>>17668251
They used to be reasonably priced at $100-200. Now Orient is in that spot.

>>17668248
I see that product placement actually works.

>>17668254
Not really. But I do have a blood slide box. One of them is with my gf's period blood because she was dripping on the floor and I took the chance and scooped some up on my glass slide. I think it's a pretty romantic thing to have :)

>>17668259
It does, when Speed first came out, literally ever kid in class ended up wanting a G-Shock.

>>17668257
Yea, Seiko 5s are slowly edging towards the price point that's usually for Prospex.

On the other hand, Prospex is now heading towards luxury watch prices for some fucking reason.

>>17668248
Believe it or not, there was an anon on /wt/ when this general was first moved to /fa/ who owned that very watch. Like the one Dexter has on his wrist (or one of the other copies they used on the show itself).

He's was a Scandinavian guy who was obsessed with the show and somehow managed to snag it in some kind of Hollywood themed online auction.

>>17668281
>somehow managed to snag it in some kind of Hollywood themed online auction.

I thought they only did those for props. I need to keep my eye on these auctions going forward.

>>17668283
>I thought they only did those for props
Usually, yeah. But apparently on this show they used real watches for the character.

>>17668261

this general is so trash now

It's 6:30am for Americucks.

Where the fuck are the eurobros

>>17668292
>getting upset no one is falling for stupid Facebook image posts

>>17668292
Dexter went off the air ten years ago. No one cares about that show anymore.

>>17668292
trying to rizz up some ho's but to no avail

>>17668165
Yes, definitely, it certainly has nothing to do with the movie Alien, it was your webm that inspired that purchase,

>>17668300
what Dexter did was worse. Had it not gone apeshit, it could've gone off air for a decade and people would've still kissed its fucking toes.

it should've ended when he finally made peace with what happened to his brother.

>>17668296
>Where the fuck are the europoors
Ftfy. Watches are luxury items. Dix you really think that all the Casio and FW91 posters came from third world countries ?

>>17668292
My bathroom bin becomes full of used tampons when my wife in on her periods, and no it's not sexy, fuck off.

>>17668305
Hey now, I'm financially irresponsible to own 4 automatics yet I still got 2 Casios.

That said I live by the beach so even if it's too big for my wrists, I'm amazed how this shit is an accurate tide indicator despite not being connected online. I just wish G-Shocks weren't for Gorilla wrists.

>>17668197
Doesn't apply to MIP display faggot, stay in your lane

>>17668271
>for some fucking reason.
Are you dense?

>>17668314
I'm pretty sure there are regular Casio's out there with the tide graph, not to mention square and BabyG G-shocks.

>>17668319
Unironically, yes. I literally got clocked with 85 IQ.

>>17668314
>, I'm amazed how this shit is an accurate tide indicator despite not being connected online
That's good to hear. I was also amazed that the sunrise and sunset feature on my ancient dw6100 was actually accurate within 5 minutes.

>>17668329
That amazes me considering how it still somehow manages to do that whether DST is on or off.

>>17668314
If you have normal 7 inch wrists they're fine.
>>17668321
There's a square with a tidegraph, moonphase, solar and multiband6. I think that's the most reasonable size for a watch with those features.

>>17668331
Ah so 1 thing about the dw6100 is that I have to mentally compensate for DST, it shows me regular time only. So if it's DST and it says sunrise at 4:05 that means 5:05 during DST

>>17668292
>no replies to an off topic bait post
And that's a good thing.

>>17668327
Seiko has been trying to move up in the market which is why they've been going up in prices. Made room for orient but also made room for them to make more money while still having the same garbage QC.

>>17668223
>>17668239
>new releases being dive watches actually surprised me
>surprised they're finally stepping out of the dress category with these divers
WTF are you even on about, Orient has always been notorious for offering the best cheap divers on the market. That was literally their thing already long before they even released the Bambino's to the world.
Mako then Ray, then ver. 2 of those then in more recent times Neptune, Kano and Kamasu.

If Orient releasing dive watches "surprises" you then you obviously never actually looked at their catalogue.

>>17668304
Qrd on dexters full plot for someone who watched a few episodes here and there?

>>17668368
Go to /tv/ retard

>>17668360
I was wanting to post this but I don't have the time to go on a rant rn.

>>17668360
Yes but this is moreso with the type of aesthetic they're going for. Orient Divers tend to still look "Orient", if that makes sense, the next releases feel more in line with Seiko/Rolex divers, especially the AC0Q03S that reminds me more of a Rolex Explorer II than your conventional Orient Mako or Ray.

I realized something the other day.

I've been collecting watches for about 15 years now, since I finished university.
When the coof started, everyone in my company was told to work from home and I stopped wearing a watch every day.
But even when I returned to the office and basically everything is back to normal now, I did not resume the habit of wearing a watch.
Nowadays, I really only wear a fitness tracker when I'm exercising or doing some other kind of physical activity.

So I'm going to sell all this. And this is all that's left from a collection that used to be 3 times this size....maybe I'll keep the Cartier or something for when I get dressed up.
I never thought it would happen to me but I've moved past watches.

>>17668432
I’d sell them all and buy an exit watch like a second hand Lange or Patek. Then if you’re still not impressed you can sell it and not lose any money. I find most mid tier brands very dull and disappointing.

>>17668432
Just keep the explorer.

Not into watches nor trying make a collection.
Just give me an $100 reliable watch so I can wear everyday. Bonus points if it's automatic

>>17668440
Do this.
>>17668457
Don't do this.
The explorer is a watch you only get to resell to tasteless losers

>>17668460
>$100
>Reliable
>Automatic
Your only option is a Vostok and expect it to be off by half a minute a day.

>>17668440
Don't do this and fund other, better hobbies with the money
>>17668457
Do this.

>>17668464
Pleb take.

>>17668462
He's not feeling it anymore. Splurging on a patek or lange is meh. Explorer has soul at least.

>>17668463
can that acrlic crystal handle everyday usage?

>>17668469
>Explorer has soul at least

>>17668440
>I’d sell them all and buy an exit watch like a second hand Lange or Patek.
Those were actually the first ones I got rid of. (A couple of Breguets, a gold JLC calendar, a Moser) Having several 10K+ pieces just doing nothing felt like a waste.

>>17668470
An acrylic crystal will be more resilient than any other type of crystal. Sure you can scratch it but you'll never crack it and you can just use polywatch on it every few months. I've had my amphibia for years, I got a few scratches on it, nothing that I pay seriously attention to.

>>17668472
So what's the plan then? Just resign yourself to a normie smart watch?

I want it so bad bros. I’d honestly own one of this guys watches over a Rolex anyday

>>17668475
I don't know. I'm just kind of having a crisis about having spent so much time and effort on something that turned out to be pointless.

Like, my dad, he has owned one watch since the late 70s: a Rolex Datejust he bought out of school. That's the only watch I've everseen him wear. He wore it to the office, or playing tennis, skiing, mountaineering etc.

>Just resign yourself to a normie smart watch?
No, I've already got a phone.

The Explorer is actually the watch I wore the least. I bought it because "OMG every collection needs a Rolex!!" and I was on a small watches kick at the time. I never liked it, though.

>>17668481

Sell all the watches and just wear your fathers Rolex Datejust.

>>17668463
my manual wind komandirskie is surprisingly accurate, easily as good as any old NH/4R shitter.

>>17668478
The only good thing those guys make is the fish skin watch bands

>>17668463
what about aliexpress shitters?

>>17668484
That's an incredibly low bar, that's like saying it's easily within ±1 minute per day

>>17668485
36mm annual calendar for $6,600 is a fucking steal

>>17668481
>I'm just kind of having a crisis about having spent so much time and effort on something that turned out to be pointless.

I know that feeling.
To add to that, the dawning realization that watch collectors are all various kinds of unpleasant, either raging autists or flexing pedos or something else.

Normal people can own a nice watch or two.
Once they become people with "collections" though? Weirdos at best.

>>17668432
You we're never a true collector. Just another fat rich retard like fucking Mortadello.
Fuck I hate you assholes.

>>17668499
What, pray tell, is a "true" collector?

>>17668478
the movement is obviously clever as hell, but i hope you don't have illusions of making a profit or even breaking even if you ever try to sell it. these niche watches from tiny brands are very difficult to sell.

>>17668506
With the color scheme I’ve selected I don’t think anyone else on earth would want it

>>17668501
He's just pissy because someone else bought watches that he could never dream of affording, only to turn around and be unimpressed by them.
They don't appreciate and cherish some mass-market bullshit the way he would.

>The perfect watch doesn't exis--

>>17668292

>What, pray tell, is a "true" collector?
Someone who exclusively buys Casio's, Seiko's and Vostok's and watches Hasan Piker on twitch.com

>>17668490
Yeah I was a little conservative with my claim but my point is that it's no worse than any other mechanical/automatic movement in that price range.

>>17668509
Tissot really is paying a fuckload of advertisers for this campaign hey? Tissot is a shit brand.

>>17668481
>I don't know. I'm just kind of having a crisis about having spent so much time and effort on something that turned out to be pointless.
This general has taught me that watches are pointless.

However, I still stick around because you motherfuckers are the most thin-skinned, easily-baited, quick-to-anger faggots on this whole site. You all seriously go from zero to foaming at the mouth faster and over the most trivial shit.

>>17668506
>but i hope you don't have illusions of making a profit or even breaking even if you ever try to sell it. these niche watches from tiny brands are very difficult to sell.
Who fucking cares? Buying watches based on ROI is retarded. Just buy what you like.

Lmao it's hilarious to think about how deranged you are to be so unpleasant and still think you deserve to ask the people you insult for money.

This just makes it look like Rolex is trying to have a lightning theme lol, how embarrassing.

how stiff should a NATO strap be?
ordered 4 from aliexpress, one of them is very soft and pleasant to touch, but I think it might not be durable. 3 other are pretty stiff and not that pleasant to the touch, a bit resistant to conform around the wrist, but surely feels more durable than the soft one, and I imagine they should "break in" a little bit and become softer, right?

that anon likes to get people to say "I won't give you money but here's some advice on how to become wealthy"
then anon starts asking more and more specific questions ("well what if I can't go to college?" "what if I can't get a bank loan?") until the first guy gets exasperated at anon's defeatist attitude and gets mad.

>>17668590
>>17668594

>>17668596
Depends on the charity. For the vast majority I rather have the money because or else that money is gonna line the pockets of who ever runs that charity.

>>17668599
That goes without saying, yes.

>>17668598
Bro I'm just a student, not a rich lawyer. You're fucking insane and completely detached from reality.

>>17668599
OK, to clarify.
If I had the choice between money for a watch OR that same amount of money ending up in the hands of people who need it more than I do...

Do you Schwartzkopf?

I find myself tempted to do it between looking at UTC logs while being in EST, and hopping on calls with with contractors in Poland.

I checked out a swatch store today and what the fuck.

The quality is noticeably worse than Casio while being 3x the price. How does this company have success? Are non-watch enthusiasts utterly clueless?

>>17668567

To be fair, the guy in the other thread had a JLC and a Lange & Sohne, but 90% of your collections are just the same.

>>17668481
Be glad, I wish I could move past this stupid consumerist "hobby". I thought hey maybe if I buy one good watch I'll be satisfied but then my wishlist kept growing past 20 refs anyway. At least you're free.

Wow the Brazilian neet is back
I mised this alternate persona of trollsama

>>17668651
Would, as long as the price isint creeping up

>>17668631
I've never felt excitement turn into disappointment this fast. The moonwatch is my favorite watch and being able to get a cheap version made in collaboration with the original company felt like a dream come true.

But the fact that they were so scared of taking away buyers from the original moonwatch that they made it fall apart and with a dogshit movement is just pathethic.

>>17668666
Its funny because eta has some fantastic quartz chronograph movements but they all end up in the ugliest 43mm certina shitters. Hamilton and Tissot (and swatch obviously) aren't allowed to use them

>>17668620
They are also very noisy.
I feel it's because the main target is women, they just need to make them in bright colors and have good adds and women will buy their shit.

>>17668620
Also it's a good thing, because the more money they make from swatches, the less they need to have big margins on their other brands.

>>17668646
I feel the same about poorfag collections too
obligatory casio, bunch of comically identical seikos, too many fucking divers' watches

Mine atleast look a little different because. I have an Seiko Arnie, a Casio Arnie and a Sea Quartz 30. Next purchase will be a mido rainbow diver or some colorful sea wolf

It's disappointing the Sea King Jumbo is just a desk diver. I wear my watches to the beach and I feel like I'll forget that it has pretty much no WR

>>17668737

Those colors are a crude depth meter. The colors fades out the deeper you go. Completely useless on this watch though since the wr is 50m. Make sense on the Mido though.

>>17668743
as >>17668675 said, it's not a question of richfags and poorfags, it's a question of mentality.
Having a black dial Rolex is like wearing white Air Force 1, it's a non choice and it says that you are boring and have no tastes of your own. You have hundreds of other choices in the Rolex catalog alone, you pick the most NPC and bland one.

>>17668761
???
A good condition Vulcain cricket diver is over 5k.

>>17668762
It's a no win situation

>>17668651
Thank you, but no. A red dial would’ve been fun.

>>17668772
The win situation is not giving a fuck what others think and just getting what you like. I like the boring choices as much as I like the fun ones. Just don't get butthurt when people talk shit and take it in stride. If you like the explorer just accept the fact that most people will righly assume you're a boring loser. If you like giant gshocks accept that people will assume you're kind of a manchild

>>17668705

This is a cop out, though. You have to give at least somewhat of a shit about what other people think because how people think of you determines how they treat you.

If they think you're an immature manchild because you dress like one, that will be a factor when you get passed over for a promotion in favor of some guy who dresses and acts more professionally.

>>17668781
lol

>>17668787
It's called dressing for the situation. I'm not gonna wear my bright red casioak if I'm working in an office with a strict dress code. I'm talking about the collection you post online.

>>17668787
You're missing the point. It's about not caring that someone calls your tudor that you prefer over a sub a cope watch.

Which one do you prefer? Santos or Santos Dumont?

>>17668794
>It's called dressing for the situation. I'm not gonna wear my bright red casioak if I'm working in an office with a strict dress code. I'm talking about the collection you post online.

Again, though, that still doesn't hold water. When you post your collection online, you do so specifically because of what other people will think. If you didn't give a shit about what other people think, you'd never post your watches.

>>17668799
Dumont. Regular one looks a bit like shit

>>17668327
Based retard. Welcome home brother.

>>17668801
Sure you hope someone shares you tastes and you could maybe have a conversation about your watches. Just don't get butthurt when someone doesn't like them. That's the whole fucking point I'm making.

>>17668799
>Which one do you prefer? Santos or Santos Dumont?
Personally, I like the Santos-Dumont.

The Santos is a neither-nor watch. Too chunky to be truly elegant, too fine to be a real sports watch. If you're the kind of person who owns only one watch, the Santos is brilliant (especially because you can swap between straps and bracelet in seconds).
However, if you already have a sports watch, then the Santos-Dumont is the much more elegant choice.

>>17668786
Why don't they make a polar Explorer?

>>17668808
>Sure you hope someone shares you tastes and you could maybe have a conversation about your watches.
That's just fucking unrealistic. This is still /wt/

>Just don't get butthurt when someone doesn't like them.
Again, this is /wt/. People who don't like a watch don't criticize the watch, they usually just personally attack the poster. And even if the criticism is anodyne, everyone takes everything personally here.

You made some interesting choices, that's for sure.

I'm jealous that you've decided to free yourself. Keep the Cartier. Ditch the rest.

>That's just fucking unrealistic. This is still /wt
I posted my busted ass gshock and still found 1 guy who helped me get it to work and who cared.
>Again, this is /wt/. People who don't like a watch don't criticize the watch, they usually just personally attack the poster. And even if the criticism is anodyne, everyone takes everything personally here.
are you the anon with the IQ of 85?

It's a roll of the dice depending on the time of day and thread. Sometimes you have a thread where it's an indepth discussion of casio. Sometimes it's haute horlogerie. Sometimes it's endless shitposting.

Peep the new shitter, bros

>>17668842
If 1 out of 10 threads is decent, I'd be fucking shocked.

It also depends who posts and how.
For example, take the thread before this. Mortadello can derail any thread. I'm sure he does it on purpose when he's bored and feels like kicking a dog. When he wants to talk about watches, he doesn't do his avatarfagging (but you can still tell it's him because of the ESL "my friends" routine) and the thread is fine.
But then he posts one of his handful of pics, his irrational haters come out, he samefags a little and then sits back and enjoys a nice shitstorm.

What do you think about this bad boy?

Yay or Nay

>>17668851
>When he wants to talk about watches, he doesn't do his avatarfagging (but you can still tell it's him because of the ESL "my friends" routine) and the thread is fine.

I hope he's here and reads this because it really only is his "My Whatever" pictures that seem to kill a thread.

If he truly wants to talk about watches, as he so often claims to, he should be able to have a conversation without needing to announce to the thread who he is, which is, after all, the whole point of an anonymous imageboard.

>>17668851
>he samefags a little
That's just schizo shit. i get called mort all the time for calling out the psychos.

Do the screws on the Santos bracelet have a purpose? Or are they just decorative?

>>17668861
No, he does. Not to the extent that he's accused of, maybe, but he often slips and we get a couple posts exactly a minute apart, or he'll use one of his dozen reaction images with the exact same filename, etc.

>>17668856
It's weird. I like it

>>17668864
just decorative.

>>17668844
Is this a vintage? It looks too clean.

FUCKING THIS.

>>17668844
holy kino

>>17668866
Yes, I think the same thing about and I'm not a pilot even.

>>17668844
How much?

Hello my friends

>>17668926
Looks like a simple pleasant watch, never heard of it before though

>>17668923
I'm seeing em for ~$40
They finally made a full on digiborg rip off. I love it. Now they just need to sell one in a fake metal case. I might just spray paint one with metallic silver pain.

>>17668926
Let the seething commence. I like that watch. Did you end up buying the alien double Casio?

>>17668926
Weak bait. Wrist is way too small.

>>17668936
I've been got.

>>17668932
Oh man, I didn't notice the burgundy has an amber display. Fucking gorgeous

>>17668937
Yeah. Thanks for trying to ruin another thread. Now please rinse your mouth out with buckshot.

>>17668939
No I mean I took the bait retard. I thought it was him.

Nobody told me casio was releasing this.
World timer BTFO
WS1600H-1AV

>>17668918
*About it

>>17668932
>>17668943
Casio bringing the heat with the new releases. The digiborg rip off is a lf20w, what's the model number of the other one? Ae1400?

>>17668943
>>17668946
Oh wow I'm retarded you posted the model number

>>17668943
I kind of like that. I have enough Casios (two) but that's a nice one.

>>17668943
I want to out this in the skxmod gold case

>>17668923
>>17668932
$22 at Walmart. Only a retard pays $40 for it.

>>17668844
>>17668932
>>17668943
These look great. I'm glad Casio is putting out cool stuff on their regular line because they haven't been doing things I like on their G-Shock line which is the one I like.

>>17668942
Who are you calling retard? That pic is of a guy who is a.) white and b.) at least 40kg thinner than Mort.
Also, that watch costs at least 55k USD used. Mort may be wealthy but he ain't that fucking wealthy. (And before you say it, he bought his Journe before it became a hype piece.)

>>17668864
It’s like watchmakers are in a competition with each other to see who can make the most boring shade of green. At least that tissot quartz had fun with it

>>17668943
How difficult do you guys think it’d be to get the day to display in different languages?

>>17668844
This looks perfect, why has nobody posted it before?

>>17668966
Near impossible if it's not built in. It could have language options though. The 5610u came with the upgrade of having selectable languages, this might too.

>>17668963
I sense you're one of the squizos that is obsessed with lawyer.

>>17668964
Green's a very tricky color. If you make it too light, it ends up looking like Kawasaki green. That's fine for a cheap watch you only wear a few times, but not for a watch that costs what a Santos does.
The subdued greens all end up looking ashen and dark.

Interestingly, Aston Martin F1 had this same problem last season. They went with a traditional British Racing Green for their livery and it just ended up looking near-black on television, so this season they went with a much brighter shade. Now it looks green but, also, now the """traditionalists""" are complaining it's no longer BRG.

>>17668974
>damage control.
You got trolled, it happens. No need to lash out.

>>17668942
>No I mean I took the bait retard. I thought it was him.
LMFAO it's not on a fucking mortadella how did you think it was him did you think he put it on his fat sausage finger lmfao lol retardo

>>17668974
>I sense you're one of the squizos that is obsessed with lawyer.
Remember a few months ago when people assumed that every single poster who didn't like Mort was all one Frenchman with an Explorer? Good times.

>>17668978
Different anon. I'm the one who got trolled. But I agree with gim.

>>17668982
It's kind of surprising anyone got trolled. It took less than four minutes for anon to find the source of that image.

>>17668980
That guy is peak schizo though. I wouldn't be surprised honestly if it's 1 guy samefagging, would explain why he thinks everyone who calls him an idiot is lawyer anon, he's projecting.

>>17668985
I'm not really paying attention. I'm tired after work. I made this post >>17668946
Not doing too well in the brain department right now

>>17668987
It'd be funny if it turns out that Mort has actually been dead for months and it's just one guy who kept some of his images posting as him AND also seethe-posting against him. Like, in a way to keep his memory alive.

>>17668992
I honestly wouldn't even be surprised because we do have a troll here who talks to himself. After I witnessed that level of deranged posting I took a 2 month break from this place. I should have stayed out.

>>17668987
>I wouldn't be surprised honestly if it's 1 guy samefagging,
He constantly replies to himself if the rest of the thread ignores him, been doing it for years

>>17668992
>>17668995
Shit, it's an anonymous imageboard, so I'll admit it: I've posted as Mortadello before. It's the easiest thing in the world:

>Step 1
Post one of his usual images (just take one from last thread, since he never changes them) along with "Sup, my friends? What are we wearing?"
>Step 2
Wait for the first guy to drink some haterade and call "Mortadello" a rich retard
>Step 3
Respond to that guy with ">seething"

At that point, I usually go for a run and when I come back, I've got at least a hundred new posts to entertain me.

Do I feel bad? No, not at all, since this general is usually just as shitty even if I don't do anything.

>>17668620
>The quality is noticeably worse than Casio while being 3x the price. How does this company have success? Are non-watch enthusiasts utterly clueless?
swiss trickery

I really like the Explorer 1

>>17669009
uhh sweaty you need to buy a milgauss instead because it has character (read: is ugly)

>>17669000
It's funny, but it's also fucking sociopathic.

>>17668998
It's kinda disturbing desu. Is he the guy who says rich retard or is that the brazilian?
>>17669013
Tastelet.

>>17669013
I need a green crystal on my watch, soul

>>17669022
AFAIK, the Brazilian is the one who insists that people give him money and/or watches. Sometimes he demands a job as well.

>>17669000
Real Lawyeranon here.
LOL You sir, are an asshole, but that's actually funny.

Sometimes I haven't been in the threads for a couple of weeks and when I come back I find out that anons have been talking about me the whole time. Although I already knew why, you make it a bit clearer.

>>17669027
I hope someone in his favela puts him out of his misery.

>>17669022
>Is he the guy who says rich retard or is that the brazilian?
Its all the same dude

>>17669000
Based psycho get.

>>17669030
No I mean there's the french guy who's a psycho and the Brazilian troll. From what I gather it's the Brazilian who has rich retard as his catch phrase.

>>17668620
They used to be cheap. They're meant to be cheap. Shit that was their entire purpose: cheap "muh swuss maid" timepiece that teens in the 80s and 90s could wear if they didn't want casio. Time passes. Quality becomes worse as corners are cut but prices continue to rise.

>>17669033
They are both characters of the same guy

>>17668651
The diameters, officer?

>>17668689
color is beautiful. too bad they put it on the most souless watch ever.

>>17669043
40

>>17669028
If you actually are the real lawyer. Read >>17668880 and take it to heart.

If you don't post your pictures (which even you admit aren't that great) most of the psychos won't know it's you and won't ruin the thread for the rest of us.

That's a small sacrifice you can make for your watch friends, right?

>STOP POSTING WATCHES IN THE WATCH THREAD!
Funny how a general that uses "if you don't post watches you're wrong" as a standard for winning arguments wants to jealously block someone that has watches and posts them from posting them. I wonder why they would do that???????

>>17668880
>>If he truly wants to talk about watches, as he so often claims to, he should be able to have a conversation without needing to announce to the thread who he is, which is, after all, the whole point of an anonymous imageboard.

I'm not sure he does. I think he likes being an e-celebrity, even in this small way, and even if it ruins threads with shitposting in response.

>>17669088
There’s no reasoning or winning with schizos. All you can do is laugh at how deranged they are.

>>17669088
Avatar or signature use is still against the rules. If he wants to be non-anonymous, he should get a tripcode. But he won't do that either, because then people will simply block his tripcode.

>>17669093
>posting watches is now avatar fagging
Lol. Lmao.

>>17669088
>>17669090
>>17669091
>>17669093
Another thread ruined...

It's OK, though, because we have a guy who posts a wristshot of a Breguet that he took years ago and has posted a thousand times. I'll take endless shitposting if it means I get to see that same picture of a Breguet again.

>>17669094
It is, actually.

He's repeatedly using a small set of images to indicate who he is. It doesn't have to be an anime girl.

>>17669096
Or maybe he is posting a picture of a watch in the watch thread on an image board? Are you genuinely retarded?

>>17669097
>Or maybe he is posting a picture of a watch in the watch thread on an image board?
Is he using that picture to announce who he is? Yes. Stop being so fucking obtuse.

It’s time to ban all wrist shots. We can’t take the chance that it will trigger the resident Brazilian schizo into yet another nervous breakdown.

>>17669099
No, he’s using the image to show the watch he is wearing. If anyone is avatar fagging it’s the alcoholic with the Omegas.

I honestly, genuinely hope that for every single one of you your very worst nightmares come true.

I genuinely hate this general.

>>17669042
Scary

>>17669102
>No, he’s using the image to show the watch he is wearing.
No he's not, because he's posting ancient wristshots. Shit, half the time he even says he's wearing something different.
He's not doing anything different than the OmegaDrunk, who ALSO posted the same set of pictures over and over again.

I honestly wouldn't have a problem if he posted some NEW pictures but he almost never does.

>>17669099
How many watches do you expect people to have so that they can regularly post wearing different watches every time and nobody will be able to know it's the same person?

>>17669088
>I prefer back and forth shrieking about an e-celeb than talking about watches.

>>17669107
The fact that you know how old his wrist shots are show me that you are extremely mentally ill, especially given the size of his collection.

>>17669107
>No he's not, because he's posting ancient wristshots. Shit, half the time he even says he's wearing something different.
All his watches are in a safe, he can't post shit.

>>17669102
Funny how no one gets triggered at the hamilton alcoholic for avataring. It's almost as if that's not the actual issue at hand.
>>17669104
Likewise, die of bone cancer

>>17669112
>>Funny how no one gets triggered at the hamilton alcoholic for avataring.
He always has new artistic pics and he's not an obnoxious loser?

>>17669107
>I honestly wouldn't have a problem if he posted some NEW pictures but he almost never does.

Mortadello claims he's into photography. If he gives us some variety at least there's that. His posts don't actually contribute anything. New pictures for the thread? No. Shitposting that follows? Yes.

Do you remember JLC Anon? He never repeated the same images. His pics were always timestamped and he tried to make the pictures at least somewhat artistic and high res. Obviously, we all knew it was him, but at least he came with something new.

>>17669117
Can you remind me how you're contributing by derailing yet another thread seething about him? Do you even own a watch?

>>17669111
>All his watches are in a safe, he can't post shit.
What's he got on his wrist right now?

Last thread he posted a pic of his bronze Tooter while he was in Mexico? It wasn't a great pic but at least he tried.

>>17669117
Why do you always come here posting your tired old contrarian shitposts to announce it's you? Why are you signatureposting? You're derailing the thread every time you post.

>>17669122
Don't know don't care hope the cartel builds him into a foundation.

>>17669120
I'm answering the question that you asked in >>17669108

Did you not expect an answer? Why ask the question then, hmm?

>>17669115
>He always has new artistic pics and he's not an obnoxious loser?
Taking macro shots of your watch placed on a glass of beer passes for artistic? A drunk who contributes absolutely nothing to the threads and who really only just avatar posts isn't an obnoxious loser? Hamilton anon is that you? Atleast lawyer anon talks about watches. I learned about maison celadon because of him, there's the other anon who's obsessed with the customizable annual calendar watch because of him. He taught some other anon that a GMT watch doesn't necessarily need a GMT hand to be a GMT when get posted his ulysse nardin.

>>17669128
>I learned about maison celadon because of him
Sorry you're an uninformed retard I guess?

>>17669127
I'm not him, I'm just sick of your posts. You're a complete moron.

Hey guys, it's me >>17669000

I'm back from my run. It's hot out there. (Northeast US.)
Let's see what you've been up to? Looks like you've been busy.

>>17669129
>He contributes nothing
>Ok he does contribute but you're a retard because you learned something

>>17669139
Your parents taught you how to tie your shoes. Does that mean they invented the technique? Of course not.

He simply repeated what he learned by googling, just like literally everyone else in this thread did...except >>17669128.

Hey guys, I'm avatar fagging. Remember, posting relevant images in a thread is against the rules.

>Does that mean they invented the technique? Of course not.
Holy shit you are absolutely retarded. You're upset people are discussing watches in a watch thread. You're dumb as fuck. Lets just fucking shut down the whole general because there's no point in talking about watches since we can just google everything. Suck start a shotgun.

Post a timestamped pic of what you're wearing right now.

four new wristshots. more productive than most threads, if i'm being honest.

Anons, anons, please don't get suck into the crazy spiral.

I'm the real Lawyeranon. (Odd pic as evidence.)

I have tried nos posting my watches in these threads in the past, btw. I also tried posting entirely without any image at all, but those post often got lost into the ones with picures, memes, etc...

There has been periods in which I haven't post a single image and believe it or not, since I'm not a native english speaker someone eventually realizes it's me and shit hits the fan AGAIN. Plus, other people like the asshole up there keeps using my images even if I don't.

I always try my best to be kind and yet I apparently I can't change (neither understand) the way these threads react to my MERE PRESENCE.

I'm gonna list a few of the thigs I've been told:
1. If I post my watches:BAD
2. If I don't post my watches: BAD AND LARPING
3. If I post the same images: BAD AND LAZY
4. If I post different images: BAD AND FLEXING

Also:
a) I'm either too wealthy and an asshole or I don't own my watches and larping, or poor with acces to other person's watches
b) a corrupt lawyer or a narc or something
c) too fat and can't move and friendless
d) an egyptian (wtf)
e) a jewelry's employee
f) a CIA glowie (that was oddly funny)
g) I photoshop the watches on my arm (????)

Funny thing is... I've never insulted/mistreated anyone here. I like being kind and nobody can say otherwise. In fact, I'm happy whenever I manage to share something with someone, like anon who now knows about Celadon, or recently Ludwig Oechslin, or rare Omega references, or recommendations about approaching luxury ADs, etc. And I actually appreciate any imput to me as well, like the Alien watch I'm going to buy.

So, imho it's just that this place have some squizos ungrapping out of control by my presence, and you should just ignore them, as I do.

Btw, even if they aren't the best, I like my pics. Why shouldn't I use them in a WATCH FOCUSED IMAGE BOARD?

>>17669189
tl;dr give me money or fuck off.

>>17669187
Everytime someone says post wrist shots there's like 7 replies. You dumb

>>17668557
>that anon likes to get people to say "I won't give you money"
So you've clearly seen proof that everyone with money is a giant pile of vomit, why do you still defend them?

>>17669170

>>17669189
>c) too fat and can't move and friendless
Well, this one's not exactly inaccurate, is it? :^)

>>17669170

>>17669189

>>17669193
Lol poor monkey

>>17669209
Bro I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I think someone stole the face of your watch.

>>17669189
do not give this anon >>17669193 money under any circumstances.

>>17669200
Lawyer anon isn't the problem. You are. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Seriously, kill yourself.

How many times must we have this same discussion I wonder

>>17669200
Also I don't care that I get banned I have a dynamic IP. Clean it up jannies.

This watch is a real pice of shit but i still like it

>>17669220
It's funny to me that I get banned for telling the monkey to kill himself which is totally in line with 4chan culture but the jannies won't ban the monkey for actually trolling and shitposting and ruining the thread.

>>17669189
>waaaah people are mean to me on the internet
Harden the fuck up. You want everyone to like you, go to Reddit.

>>17669209
Will you engrave it?

Why do some people decide to just shit up threads? What has to go wrong in your life to decide to do that?

I went to the store today, saw 2 hard to get models and bought a new watch, but I'm just gonna wait till the next thread to discuss in a non-shit environment.

>>17669228
That's hardly what he's saying. It's weird that that is your take away from his post.

>>17669230
I'm thinking about it.
I've had it for a couple years now and I sort of want to get my initials on it, or maybe something funny, like a clock face without hands and a big question mark in the middle.

>>17669231
Mental illness on the part of the deranged psycho begging for money who is upset by the mere presence of people with money and thinks he's entitled to the hard earned money of other people.

>>17669189
Relax Mort, you're ok in my book.

>>17669245
What makes this place unique on the net is low moderation and anonymity, making everyone equal. Poors however will always find something to seethe about when they see even a sliver of wealth, that's just how it is.
That said, forming an identity on an anonymous imageboard is even more retarded, you're essentially tripfagging under the wrong name.
