Watches are a good way to easily and quickly transport huge amount of monetary value without raising suspicion. You can even pass customs in another country, sell it there, wire the cash to a secret bank account, and exit the country without raising suspicion.

>You have no sense of self
I think it's the literal opposite, literally crippling levels of self-awareness of every little miniscule detail. When I interact with someone I overanalyze that interaction to the smallest possible thing afterwards, small talk is almost impossible to me because of it. I am aware of the speed I am talking, the posture I am holding, the tone I am expressing, the eye contact I am holding, the body language I am expressing, my brain is literally working on overdrive every single time and as soon as I do something "wrong" in any of these things I feel like I did something terribly wrong.

I want to erase that, or atleast to not be so obsessed by it.

Vacheron is owned by richemont, which nobody trusts and has shitty service.
There's no such thing as a vacheron constaintin service center, remember that.
Vacherons get lumped into the same chopshop that services panerai and all richemont brands.
The only richemont brand that has special treatment is Lange, and that's because it's German and not Swiss.
They're the only one of the richemont group to have their own specific service center.
Vacheron also is just a shell name.
All it's designs and ingenuity are farmed from Jaeger Le Coultre, richemont's only brains.

Patek, as far as it has fallen in recent years, is still an independently owned watchmaker that's not just a shell name owned by some luxury goods conglomerate.

There's a reason why collectors trust rolex and patek, and disregard so many other brands: these last two independently owned watchmakers are not subject to the fickle whore that is private equity.
Richemont, LVMH, Swatch Group et al., are all beholden to the whims of their shareholders. Patek and Rolex have no such slavish concerns.

I don't like patek, in fact vc's designs speak to me more. I don't like patek designs and they've gotten lazy at the top, but there's a reason why the value of a patek doesn't drop as far as a vc on the secondary market, and rolex is king in that regard.
The brand has value.
VC has no value, and who knows where it will be in a decade. That's the problem with groups like richemont; they can't just mix and match and kill shit off at will.
Only one they have to protect and keep happy is JLC since they come up with every ounce of ingenuity that family of watchmakers is capable of.
Lange is a special case, but I'm wary of making it my "one watch" that I'm saving up for.
I don't trust those richemont cunts.

You don't have a problem, you're a fucking idiot with a massive ego. You're not afraid of every little fuck-up you make, that's why you're willing to post here. Fuck off, moron, go blog somewhere else. You're not afraid, you just like to say you're afraid. You're nothing and extremely insignificant, people don't think about you now and they won't think about you when you have a watch.

I am not interested in being pitied or anything like that, maybe I am making overlong faggy blogposts sometimes because I literally can't talk about this shit with anyone else but anonymous posters, but I legitimately get extremely anxious about all the things I said.

And Richemonts partly dictates Lange & Söhne how to pay their employees. Basically, if you're not a watchmaker (so the people who construct, partially design and craft the watches), you are getting paid better. Of course the top people (most of them inherited their position) get paid so fucking much its almost a crime. It's a damn shame.

And altough Patek is nice, they still have movements that are heavily based on still existing ETA movements which still don't have the level of finishing like a Lange has. At least on a lower price level. You only get good shit at Patek if you pay a shit ton.

[Anonymous No.14191568]

If you are getting a digital watch, get the budget line Casio. They look the best, perform perfectly in any conditions you'll experience and will cost you 10 bucks. I don't travel without one of these and a burner Nokia phone. They're the most reliable things I own.

Expensive digital watches, especially big ones, are a waste. There's no elegance to them at all. Get an analogue if you want to throw money at a timepiece.

>we're in /fa/g land now

>>14191564
I do like Lange, and vc at least gives the illusion that it's trying, which is more than can be said for patek.
I dunno.
by the time I've saved up for my "final"/"one" watch i'll probably have a better use of the money anyway so it's a moot point.
in an ideal world, one where lange wasn't controlled by the richemont jew, i'd get a lange saxonia 36 for my dress watch, and that'd be it forever, end of story never have to think about this shit again.

if i trusted seiko to act like the legacy european watchmakers in regards to future servicing and care then i'd really have a good look at grand seiko.
