What slow thread

[Anonymous No.14121178]

Im going to post my thoughts and maybe some of you will understand

I want to buy a watch primarily to tell the time. I think it probably is more convenient than using a phone in your pocket. With this goal, youd want to buy something very accurate/durable/reliable, so quartz would be obvious.
What KIND of watch do you want to wear? Do you want to impress people or do you want to keep it as an accessory that doesnt define you? I dont like the idea of buying an expensive watch. It can be stolen and not recoverable. People may want to be around you solely because you have an expensive watch so maybe you have a lot of money so youre attracting snakes.
I think there are people who are snakes and just want to be around people with money, but there probably are genuine people who would actually appreciate your choice of watch and like that you put thought into it, but i think that they exist in far fewer numbers.
The answer would be a digital watch with a consumer brand like a seiko or citizen if i assumed all of this.
The point is that i dont want to attract someone to me that is impressed by a watch on my wrist. Do you understand what I mean? If you have two girls and you take each to dinner wearing either a casio or a rolex, and girl #1 reacts favorably with either, but girl #2 only reacts favorably once you have a rolex, you want girl #1 and girl #2 is a snake, gold digging whore. Why would I want to put myself on that parasites radar by wearing a rolex? Arent these seiko and citizen and casio watches supposed to be well made? They wont attract whores and if it's stolen, it wasnt expensive anyway. Youre less likely to have a knife or gun pointed at you if you wear a seiko/citizen/casio/timex instear of a rolex/patek/AP/omega etc

Does anyone have something to add or a thoughtful reply?

My family is rich. On first dates, I don’t let the girl see my car, I meet her somewhere. I also don’t wear a Rolex or any other flashy watch. These “problems” you’re mentioning aren’t really problems. I have literally never felt threatened by wearing an expensive watch or have been in fear of getting robbed even though I spent 4 years living downtown in a major city with a serious crime problem. If you’re actually wealthy then it is exceedingly obvious who are the gold diggers or who is trying to befriend you for your money.

The only people who really have problems with this are either exceedingly gullible and naive or they recently got wealthy and don’t have enough experience.

PS most girls don’t know shit about watches. I have a vintage two tone datejust that is probably the least valuable actual watch in my collection yet it’s the only one people notice. I have never been approached about Panerai, Cartier, or Omega and these aren’t exactly obscure manufacturers.

No, try to pay attention. They have top graded ETAs, you know the movements with fancy names, and they have in house movements. Both of which are great. Heuer was a better brand alone for sure, but Tag Heuer today is not worse than say, Tudor, or others in the same price range. Actually you could argue they are better because of the superior external finish.

Some other thoughts on the snk809 which should arrive tomorrow. Seems retarded to make the tip of the second hand red, when white is more legible. Plus why the lume pip on the tail end, that's dumb too. And then the whole case is brushed except between the lugs, where it's polished?! Anyway, I had been looking at watches for many months and could never make up my mind, in the end I just took whatever, need a watch because I only use f-91w right now, the other watches I have I don't use for various reasons (scratched, shit quality etc). I also just wanted to see if I like mechanical watches and it was one of the cheapest decent ones from what I've read. Actually I have a mechanical already but I don't use it and I only used it for a little while years ago.

Women should not have the right to choose who to mate and breed with. That decision should be made for them by rational men of intelligence. If women continue to have rights, they will only hinder the advancement of the human race by breeding with degenerate men and creating stupid, degenerate offspring. This will cause humanity to become even more depraved with each generation. Women have more power in human society than they deserve, all because of sex. There is no creature more evil and depraved than the human female. Women are like a plague. They don’t deserve to have any rights. Their wickedness must be contained in order prevent future generations from falling to degeneracy. Women are vicious, evil, barbaric animals, and they need to be treated as such.

You can just try to service it yourself or swap the movement for fun, because if you break it then you can just buy another one. If that sounds unfun, then just run it into the ground and buy another one.

I posted this on the previous thread, but I've got a spare vostok dial from having one shipped with a custom dial. I believe these things are 40mm, so I'm wondering if there's a list of cheap quartz watches with 40mm dials I can mod this thing into? I just think it'd be neat to see a vostok dial with a quartz movement working on it.

Don't buy the rep. Anyone who knows about watches will be suspicious because of your age - Daytonas are ridiculously inaccessible. I would recommend a purchasing a Tudor chronograph.

I've bought it already. This was the QC. I'm not too fussed about someone knowing it's fake, I've been wearing a DHgate Royal oak for 6 months now and nobody comments on it

Bro...they couldn't even get the second track printed properly, the lume on the indices is all blobby, and the fucking bezel is fucked. I really hope you did not spend $700 on that.

it'll look alright from a distance I reckon

It's clearly not perfect, I too think the bezel is shit and the dial clearly flawed but youre never going to get a perfect fake watch. I'm saving 95% buying this fake and im happy with the flaws which aren't noticeable from a normal distance.

It's a fair price given the movement is a 1 to 1 clone of the 4130 movement and is a fully working auto chronograph
