/fa/ - Fashion

With a budget of up to 10k, and excluding Rolex and Omega, can you recommend some steel sports watches? Preferably not divers. And not Turdor.

Honestly pretty gay that some anons here spam new threads as soon as the old one hits bump limit.

>>17894309
If you can afford a Rolex just buy one you retard

>>17894311
No, I won't pay list prices (let alone above). Lolex is hyper inflated and not worth 10k for a Sub or GMT. Also, I'm in my 30s, Rolex is not my thing. I drive a BMW not a Mercedes.

>>17894310
Thank you anon. I just try to do my best to upkeep the thread culture.

>>17894316
Which? Go crazy if you want.

I was looking at this one because I kind of want a Titanium watch for a change. Just not really a Zenith fan though. I don't really understand this brand.

Luv me Preshitter.
It's certainly not a 1000€ watch tho.

>>17894013
>>17894008
Yeah like I said before, this humor ain't for everyone.
>>17894022
Then it's IRL shitposting, never heard of that? You are assuming many things there lad, that's the problem, you know two things about me and you created a whole scenario in your head about what my life is like. Does that make you feel better thinking that someone out there is having a midlife crisis (at 30 y.o nonetheless) by fucking hookers? What do you think, that I care about what a hooker thinks or feels? I pay her and she does whatever (Anything) I want her to do, that's her value, I give her paper and she is, literally, my bitch. Nothing wrong with that, she choose this path and I respect it or rather, I abuse it. I might be crazy for thinking this but, I think it's more cringe to let someone piss on your face for paper than it is taking pictures of jewelry on a womans ass.

How can I ever recover from that?
Listen m8, you should stop being so grumpy, 4chan is an anonymous board-- for those who wish to stay anonymous. I stil am, obviously. But I am playing with that line of being doxxed, sure, that's my problem.
I really still wish you well, and I think that honesty is better than

-posts. I also believe you're not being mean because you want to hurt me with words or something.
You can always chose to hide my posts if they offend you.

>>17894054
That's a very fitting bracelet for the alpinist. Rarely see it with one. Very sexy watch.
>>17894056
Are you the one who send it back because of the misalignment?
>>17894188
I don't like Rolexes but there are always exceptions, this is one of them.
>>17893929
Thanks m8. (I am not german, I jsut live here) Wish you a nice weekend too.


In other news, the 6r35a got another +10 seconds over night. So I think we are at +40 every day. I guess -15+25 = 40. So it's still within spec. Thanks seiko.

>>17894324
>Thanks m8. (I am not german, I jsut live here) Wish you a nice weekend too.
Chink.

>>17894323
Regular sharp edges I usually see in the 750-800€ space, little less or more. That seems about right.

>>17894326
I bought mine for 700€ from an authorized Seiko dealer. Unfortunately they went out of business earlier this year which is a shame.

I like my Citizen Eco Drive very much, but are there similar watches that

a) don't have audible ticking
b) have an illuminated watchface

>>17894327
>>17894323
I also got mine, the red one, below MSRP. They seem to sell them 20% off a lot. Maybe people don't want to pay 4 digits for a Seiko afterall. Do you have any more shots of the blue one? Preferably macro. What do you think of the movement? How accurate is your watch? I love this watch but the movement is pissing me off.
Like the other guy said, a 750 price tag seems about right.

>>17894323
I'd love the Presage Sharp Edge if it was only 39mm. It's not really a size issue, bjt I think it would be better at that size.

LMFAO this retard still going.

>>17894323
>It's certainly not a 1000€ watch tho
Why not? What would be a 1k watch in your opinion?

>>17894332
I can't argue against the 39mm being perfect sized. But, I think the 40mm fits this one better. It has more presence that way. My Homos is 37.5 for comparison.

When it says you should wear a watch and do any wrist movements to keep it going, how long should you do it for? Is a minute or two or wrist swinging/light stretches enough? Or are they saying wear it for a couple of minutes and it'll be good?

>>17894342
Omega

>>17894324
Ffs just take it to a watchmaker an pay him 30 bux to regulate it. Or do it yourself. If they could get my 60yo Weekdater down to +-10spd then they can fix your modern movement as well.

>>17894342
Not him but, it's not about the looks or the build quality, these are amazing. Some non-watch people even thought it's a 4 digit watch. Many guess around 600-800. For me, it's the movement that kills it. Other brands at that price point simply got much better movements. All this has going for it is the 70 hour power reserve... wow.

Good day everyone, hope you didn't stay up too long. Wish you all good health.

>>17894329
Mine is dead silent, no Lume though.

>>17894343
Ey bruv.

>>17894345
Is it a 1kwatch though?

>>17894346
I wasn't bitching before about it because I thought that after getting it back from seiko, that it will run fine. It doesn't still.
So I guess you're right, I will bring it to an independent watchmaker next week. Just have to find a good one.

>>17894348
Oh hi mark.
I wanted to ask you, what's the exact model of your watch and how much did you pay for it?

>>17894331
>What do you think of the movement? How accurate is your watch?
That's my biggest critique. Out of the box it was terrible, ~20s slower over the course of a day. I had it calibrated by a local watchmaker but it didn't keep accuracy for long. I also had to send it in for warranty repair because the watch wouldn't let me adjust time and date. I always make sure to never set my watches near a date change.

Had it calibrated again by the local watchmaker after the warranty repair (they likely didn't bother with that) and now it's running fine.

>Do you have any more shots of the blue one?
Nah, here's another one from god knows when.


>>17894342
One with proper quality control. I also own a Seiko Prospex (which is for sale) with bezel disalignment. I got myself an Orient Mako 3 and Strapcode bracelet and it shits on the Prospex.

>>17894354
I see, yeah. So I'm not the only one.
So 3rd time's the charm in your case.

>>17894353
Oh hi Jason, this piece is called the Citizen "eco-drive".
I am currently leasing mine from Åland islands watch for the low lowly price of 100 € per month.

Hope you have a wonderful day fren and stay safe.

I honestly think that this is the best quarz watch for the money.

>>17894377
Are you new to wearing a watch and collecting them? You'll find out after the "honeymoon" period if i's a keeper or not. It took me a while until I figured out what I value most about a watches' design and my "colleccione" shrank to around 6 pieces.

Why have brands like Rolex, Tudor, Omega etc upped their prices even when taking in inflation on their products while the quality has been the same or worse compared to 20 years ago?
A speedy is worth 1-2k usd, not 5-7k
A submariner is worth 2k max, not 9k
A BB is worth 1k, not 2 or 3k.
My father bought a gold DJ with his wagie paycheck after having me, I can't even afford a gold rolex.

>>17894404
Some of you fags really need to learn the basics in business.

>Why have brands like Rolex, Tudor, Omega etc upped their prices even when taking in inflation on their products while the quality has been the same or worse compared to 20 years ago?
Because they can.

>>17894405
I know, a business will always try to fuck you in the ass when it can, what I don't understand is the customers who get all cuckold about it and defend them. How can anyone say a OP is worth 10k? If you just bought a rolex and saw them doubling the price without changing anything quality wise how can you defend them?

>>17894386
Yeah basically. I think I'd rather avoid getting too deep into watches.

>>17894407
>How can anyone say a OP is worth 10k? If you just bought a rolex and saw them doubling the price without changing anything quality wise how can you defend them?

Not to sound pedantic but anything is worth only as much money as someone else is willing to pay for it. A Rolex still is, in some instances, critically undervalued in some models, like the steel Daytona.

That said, a Rolex from 30-40 years ago is definitely a much shittier watch when compared to one from today. The old plastic crystals, hollow bracelets, stamped clasps, printed dials have given way to marked improvements in all areas.

I think a lot of the bad feelings around Rolex in particular, are due to the shortages and difficulties in getting one, leading to all sorts of hyperbole and whining about having to suck the ADs dick, etc. If the prices as they are now were the prices, but you could go in and buy whatever you wanted, no one would complain, no serious people anyway.

just copped this negro. I've been looking for a burgundy dial and found one on the spot so I bought it without even thinking.
I don't know what steel bracelet to replace it with. black mesh?

>>17894416
>The old plastic crystals, hollow bracelets, stamped clasps, printed dials have given way to marked improvements in all areas.
Aside from the most important part, the movement

>>17894416
>are due to the shortages
That's the deal tho, the shortage is fabricated by rolex itself to give the brand a look of unavailability, they are the ones producing 1m rolex a year and up

>>17894422
The average consumer is just a dumb as shit and doesn't care for anything beyond the surface level. Same reason facebook and tiktok got away with their spyware, apple gets away with anticonsumer practises. That's the power you get when youre the industry standard more the less.

My night was comfy. Don't know about tonight though, I am being forced to go to a birthday party later.
How was your night?

Tell me more about your watch. I see many elements that I like. Micro adjustement, crown guard, raised lettering--

Anybody knows decent field watch on aliexpress? This is fine: titanium, sapphire, NH35, bug the lug to lug is 48mm which is enormous for a 40mm watch.

You guys are all correct. It's just supply and demand. Rolex is gaining each year market share and have been making profit every year. The cost of production doesn't matter anymore, it stopped being objective a long time ago.
Like you said, "because they can" and people will line up to pay for it. Normies will ve normies, nothing new.

>>17894435
Just build one so you don't have obnoxious fake brands on your dial.

>>17894438

>>17894437
Yeah, but I'm still pissed off that if I buy a Rolex in the current year I'm gonna pay more than 20x what my father paid for an objectively inferior product.

>>17894440
I am triggered enough to know a person who bought a sub a decade ago and it was 1/2 of what it is now retail
never the less in the 70s when these shitters cost 150 bucks
Hans literally rolling in his grave right now at the absolute state

>>17894440
Just how we have to pay 20× for a house these days too, and food, and clothing--
You have the option to get another watch, rolex is just marketing and I never understood the brand anyway. Why pay so much for a watch with a closed back and no Guilloché dial anyway? To each his own.
I guess the problem is that, whenever the market share leader does something stupid and anti consumer, others follow. GS almost doubled their prices too. Look at the snowflake MSRP vs the White birch for example.
Same with Samsung following Apples prices. But just like how the android phones are innovating while apple stays the same, other watch brands are also moving forward. You can support that.
If you REALLY want a rolex, get a 10 year old oyster perpetual or something. These go for 4-5K

>>17894428
Morning Hammybrah, I hope you didnt get too drunk last night.
No alc for me and I slept like a log, feeling fresh.

>objectively inferior product.
How? Genuinely interested in the evidence you've found that the greater watchbuying public is unaware of.

"Objectively" meaning quantifiable and provable. (And before you start, forumscreeching is not proof.)

>>17894460
maybe he refers to quartz not existing before, now it does and objectively a better time keeper
or some shit

>>17894463
That, or, that amplitude issue some 32xx movements seem to develop.

It doesn't matter. He's already fully admitted it's simply a cope for being unable to afford a Rolex.

>>17894460
Don't all new Rolex movements have a fatal flaw that isn't fixed yet?

>>17894465
>or, that amplitude issue some 32xx movements seem to develop.
so the mexican jew weren't lying.... https://youtu.be/LLqJ_hMz81k?t=951

>>17894466
>Don't all new Rolex movements have a fatal flaw that isn't fixed yet?
That's what >>17894465 is referring to.

I agree that something is definitely odd. But problem with it all is that Rolex isn't talking and no one on the internet can quite seem to agree what the problem is or if it even exists. (i.e. is it a design flaw or does it only affect movements made within a certain period?)

For every one person complaining, there's a hundred people saying theirs runs fine, and ten thousand posters just repeating what they've read other people say, adding to the chorus. Even watchmakers aren't sure what the problem is, since they can't consistently isolate it and can only speculate.

I expected this but it's all so tiresome. The thing that really bothers me is that the ADs act like a Calatrava is God's gift to watchmaking when I know it gets mogged by Lange and Breguet for half the price. The whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Buy a tan strap and some leather oil etc. Leather will darken when you add leather oil to it. Then you can adjust the color to your liking and also moisturize the leather.

Why, seiko? At this point unless you buy a GS even chinese knockoff dials are better.

>>17894538
Its standard myota or nh35.

>>17894536
Plenty of other brands have tritium tubes, which are for fags, if you go to honk kong you can still find newly made watches with tritium or radium paint. Some chink might've died to make the watch but it'll look classy wjile also glowing 24/7

>>17894538
A while back i got a Chinese watch with an actual Chinese movement just to see what it was like. For the first few weeks I was pretty chuffed with it but after a few weeks the movement started gaining and then losing crazy amounts of time. I would it up and put it on last night just to remind myself how bad it was, it was losing about a second an hour. I was so disgusted I put a different watch on.

Is there a Jomashop equivalent for Europe? I know Asia has tons of those websites obviously.

Week three of no call from Rolex AD for a simple 36mm datejust. Sigh

>>17894518
Are you sure i feel like they shouldn’t be so overt with this but instead heavily imply it covertly

>>17894562
What combination of dial-bezel-bracelet did you order?

>>17894309
JLC, including pic rel.

>>17894564
He was pretty overt. He didn't tell me the dollar amount I needed to spend but he did say I'd need to buy either a high end piece or a couple mid-tier ones. I was wearing a fairly expensive watch and asked him point blank what it would take to get one so I think that's why he was honest. He couched it with a lot of fluff about how Patek is the best watchmaker in the world and demand outstrips supply and so on and so forth.

Worth noting it was an AD and not a boutique. I'd expect a boutique to be a lot more subtle about it. I've decided if I really want one I'll just buy used as I'm not intending on pursuing crazy limited high complication pieces.

>>17894572
Did anon ever specify if he wants new-only or if used is ok?

>>17894581
>things that never happened.
The mistake you made is in assuming that we all have such social anxiety that we'd never actually go into a boutique much less buy anything from them.

Your tale isn't even remotely believable.

>>17894586
I'd bet I've spent a bit more time in boutiques and ADs than you - but go off, queen.

>>17894404
No one is stopping you from buying a Certina that is 95% as good as a Rolex and from a reputable swiss brand for 1/6th of the price.

Is there something like the Seiko Grand Quartz or King Quartz but automatic? I really did the slim integrated bracelet look. I don’t think they have anything like it in the current catalogue.

>>17894648
...Still no timestamp.

Shouldn't be that hard. You've got a pen and a piece of paper don't you?

>>17894645
You need to automatically assume anyone who posts anything expensive is a larp. One because you see the same pictures on reddit or WUS. Two because there is never anyone willing to post a time stamp unless it's a fake.

Rolex for example has a ton of counterfeit avoidance features yet it never get posted here.

>>17894648

>>17894650
>One because you see the same pictures on reddit or WUS.
Yes, it's very funny when anons get caught stealing pics from WUS.

Now, I don't think that every single picture needs to be timestamped. That's fucking boring, but if someone calls you out like >>17894649
then that's different.

For myself, I try to never post the same pic twice, which makes it harder for people to larp as me (it's happened before) and I take the pics seconds before posting so they're quasi-timestamped.

No, "pull off both small and big watches" doesn't mean you can pull off every single size. Be realistic.
Some watches are simply too small. But you could, for example, easily wear a 36mm Datejust. Tanks wear small anyway.

Looks a bit off compared to other 1815s, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

>>17894672
They don't make fake Langes, do they?

>>17894672
That's because you're a retard who doesn't know that the 1815 Up/Down updated model has a visible gear train as an homage to the older pocket watches. I'd recommend hiding the thread at this point as it is pretty embarrassing.

>>17894428
Hey Im thinking of getting that watch soon. Worth a buy? Also what do you think of the khaki king? Is it a better watch?

>>17894661
Why do they hide all the nice gears under that big ass bridge?

>>17894664
21 cm is too thick fatboy, I have 16,5 cm so I guess tank would sit perfectly on my small elegant wrist.

>Why do they hide all the nice gears under that big ass bridge?
The 3/4 bridge is German watchmaking tradition.

They try but they're all comically bad. It's impossible to get anywhere near the decoration or architecture of the movement and any complications rarely work.

I'm sure you thought that was an ebin takedown but I don't care, I like them all for different reasons. I've collected them over 10 years or so and haven't sold anything yet, but all I wear is the Lange and occasionally the Speedmaster. I will probably sell everything in the near future.

Hans wilsdorf wasn't a watchmaker by trade. He was a businessman and a savvy marketer. He would love current day rolex. Rolex started by hans and his partner buying swiss movements and casing them in england ie the original microshitter. But it was a different time.

So, what's your conversation starter? Itachi did nothing wrong? lmao.

3 watch collection:

Apple Watch - work/workout
Everyday watch probably Rolex - afterwork/weekend
Dress watch - IWC Portugieser Chronograph

or

Apple Watch - work/workout
Everyday watch - after work/workout AND suit/tux
Weekend watch - Speedmaster, Explorer II or GMT

Which one?

>>17894830
What is the appeal of the Portugieser chrono?

>>17894798
Tudor

>>17894830
Apple watch
Rolex Explorer II (white dial)
IWC Porchy Chrono (gold with gray dial)

>>17894832
I always wanted a IWC ever since Collateral, I think it looks nice I love the colorful sunburst dial. I don't want to wear a black dial or gold dial dress watch.

>>17894836
Why don't you get the Ingenieur that Vincent actually wore in "Collateral"?

Every watch collection NEEDS
- a Rolex
- a Speedmaster Pro
- a Seiko diver
- a watch from the Trinity
- a complicated watch
- a precious metal watch

What else does the hivemind require of a watch collection?

>>17894830
Chronographs generally aren't dress watches. What are you timing, how long it takes the apps guy to bring around the cheese sampler?

>>17894842
picrel is the only thing you need

>>17894842
What is a "complicated watch?"

>>17894842
>a Seiko diver
No.

>>17894846
>What is a "complicated watch?"
A watch that's more than just time-only or time-and-date.
Something like a moonphase, triple calendar, GMT/Hometime, etc.

>>17894844
Based
What's on the menu?

>>17894847
Oh, Jesus, no. The idea that you """need""" a cheap Seiko diver is consoomer received wisdom.

>>17894842
A G-Shock. Every collection """neeeeds""" a G-Shock.

>>17894843
"Dress watches" isnt even a thing anymore anon. For "dress" people will wear the most expensive thing they have.

>>17894837
There's a few things that I do not like about it.

-lume is way too small
-hands are tapered like the old seamasters but the lume is rectangular
-face is too small in comparison to the dial

The newer version of this watch which I will post soon looks better to me, but I really love the looks of the Portugeiser when I tried both on at the store.

>>17894849
So a F-91W then
It has a microchip inside which can't be manufactured by human hands.

>>17894855
IWC only became popular when Rolex became synonymous with Corvettes and men suffering from midnight crisis. Prove me wrong.

Don't wear your watch when you sleep then. Also don't surprised when you scratch your daily.

why is this $40k

>>17894887
*sigh* why is anything anything, anon?

>>17894876
"dress watch" is absolutely a thing, the question is what watches are appropriate as dress watches.

>>17894878
I know, it’s not perfect which is why I am here asking you guys. Personally I love this style, but if I wear a Hamilton to one of the formal events my work put on I might as well be wearing a Seiko or Casio.

It has to be Swiss Luxury of some sort, but it can’t be over 10k as well. I just bought a Rolex but they’ve already seen it at work, can’t wear the same thing to the Christmas party.

>>17894887
Because it's one of those items you buy to flex your money and nothing else. The entire value is the price and exclusivity, the more it costs the more they want to buy it.

>>17894879
I mean its not too bad, and I can't feel it so its pretty much superficial/buffable but for some reason its very easy to notice. Not only that but I have a spare link that the AD gave me if I feel it's too much of an eyesore.

what do you do with resin/cloth-type straps when the adjustment that fits your wrist perfectly stretches out causing your watch to slide too much ruining the fit, but the next adjustment up is way too tight?
cloth canvas etc: washing machine and drier with heat?
resin: new watch???????

>>17894895
>but it can’t be over 10k as well.
Well, in that case, get a Piaget Altiplano and have something from the Ultra-Luxury category.

>>17894895
Why cant you wear the same watch? What do you do for a living sounds swanky.

>>17894877
I wish they would make their logo just CW as it's way cooler and also my initials. CWC is just the Chris Chan watch

>>17894895
Are there a lot of watch people where you work? Would anyone actually ask or care?

>>17894918
Everyone at work is pretentious, they think they're better than everyone. What sucks is the boss plays into this and expects you to have:

Perfect name brand clothing and watches
Acceptable cars(no Toyota/Honda/etc.)
Acceptable house in an acceptable area
Sooner or later 2.5 kids sent to an acceptable private school where my kids were expected to interact with their kids - I'm still young but rumors are already starting to surface either I'm gay or I have mental health issues


It's a crazy pretentious office but it pays well. Your co-workers monitor your FB and other social media, and gossip about it at work. I've seen people get fired for the most minute bullshit because he was too old and 'goes to Asia for vacation.'

>>17894928
>I'm still young but rumors are already starting to surface either I'm gay or I have mental health issues
But both of those things are true.

Is this one of the easier GMT Master 2s to get at retail? I already purchased an Oyster Perpetual (certified pre-owned), a Tudor Black Bay Pro and a new Explorer 1 from this AD with other jewelry.

>>17894933
lmao no

>>17894906
Took some cape cod to it and the high polish area scratch is now acceptable. The scratch on the brushed area is still there. Why did they say not to lick or eat the Cape Cod but made it smell like delicious vanilla cream?

>>17894928
You're gay and mentally ill because you have no kids and wear japanese watches?

>>17894933
Pepsi Jubilee = improbable
Root Beer = possible but you are looking at years out which is okay since it gives you plenty of time to save

Easiest to get are the OP(depending on color)/DJ(depending on color)/DD(depending on color)/EXPI/II with only a few months wait.

>>17894933
depends on the region. I think this one is more popular in N.America than Europe or Asia.

Every watch collection NEEDS
- an F-91W
- a G-Shock

What else does the hivemind require of a watch collection?

>>17894933
I'm told that 2 tone watches tend to be easier to get than all steel. But GMT Master 2 is so coveted I'd think you'd still have some trouble.

>>17894940
>OP
They offered me one already but I have an one from their CPO already. They've had ugly big datejusts in-stock every time I've been there (Vegas).

>>17894935
Might just go grey then since grey is only 3k more.

>>17894928
Not even actual european royals are that snob.

I assume bs.

>>17894933
I don't think any GMTs are easy to get at retail. A quick way to tell is to look at watch dealing sites and see how far above MSRP they are trading. But still that's a decent spending history so I think you have a good shot at getting one eventually (although they might offer you a different colorway)

>>17894939
I mean they expect me to ask this recent divorced cunt that just got done(with glee) royally fucking over her husband. Then another one who externally looks like a rich cunt but internally has two separate kids from two separate fathers. After that they stopped trying to 'hook me up' and suspect why I go to vacation in Asia.

>>17894940
What are the hard to get datejust configurations in the current production models?

>>17894928
>>17894949
Thank god I don't live in USA

>>17894946
The easiest to get OP are the black or blue dial ones. The harder to get ones are the Tiffany or Citizen Tsuyosa colors.

>>17894951
DJ easiest to get are 36mm in black, slate, white, two tone or blue. Hard to get are 41 green or wimbeldon which is why those tend to be 2k more in the grey.

>>17894928
I smell fabrication

>>17894951
>What are the hard to get datejust configurations in the current production models?
The colored textured dials, mostly.

The most common, if I remember correctly
Silver/black/blue dials
with fluted bezel + Jubilee
with smooth bezel + Oyster

Two-tone, fluted, Jubilee with champagne dials are also very popular

It's going well. I think the Tudor was the right choice.

>>17894936
Smells of poorfag who can't afford the watch to begin with

>>17894928

It's a corporate law office, but I'm just an accountant that works under a lawyer. In regards to AD and waitlist, to them it feels like getting a reservation at Dorsia or something.

>check out my watch I got a cut in line for your Root Beer?
>then the watch that was being sold by the local GM for 4k over MSRP all of a sudden is sold

People do stupid shit like that here, it's one of the reasons GMs here thrive. Someone actually did business with TPG here.

>>17894962
It can't be going that well if you're snapping watch pics on this strumpet's body in the middle of the date. She's either another paid whore as evidenced by the tattoo or you just don't give a fuck about her.

I have no idea about current prices. These were produced in the mid to late 2000's, you could get a NOS one during the early 2016 primaries for like $50 on ebay.

Refreshed my collection. Returned the Apple Watch and sold my g shock and got a Garmin plus I got the DJ TT

>>17895063
Unironically because you can't get one. A large part of luxury is having something that common people can't.

>>17895063
the movement in my OP is more accurate than the Tudor/Seikos I've had but that's anecdotal.

>>17895069
Cool, now replace the fake Tank with a real one and toss the Tossit. And you'll be done.

>>17895063
They’re incredibly well made and are made by a prestigious luxury brand. That’s basically it.

>>17895074
The seiko tank is the watch I wore on my wedding day when I had a lot less $$ so I can’t get rid of that. The tissot was a gift but I may regift it because i don’t really like it very much.

Should I just swallow my pride and buy the women's version of the watch I am interested in?
32mm vs 39mm, it's otherwise identical.
I already know the answer but it hurts, maybe I should also wear a dress and start taking dick too.
Fuck.

>>17895182
Just dwarfmaxxxx.
What's the lug to lug of the watch? 32mm is really fucking pushing it even as a wristlet, just go for the 39mm at all costs.
