They're not dress watch per se. They're vintage inspired chronos, more specifically from the 40s. Many swiss brands used to make those before "sports watch" were a thing.

If you go by the classic pre-war white tie dress code, no but it doesn't matter anymore. The only people who care about old dress codes don't get invited anywhere where the old codes matter.

A moderately sized, precious metal, hand-wound chrono on a thick gator skin strap is a beautiful thing.

The absolute MAX budget for a watch is 8-10% of the price of your nicest car, and 1% of your home value. Anything above that and it's going to look like you are wearing a rep anyway to anyone that knows you, so you should just be smart and buy a rep anyway.

Different guy here, you can ask me just about anything about Ferrari (though the coachbuilt era I'm not a huge expert on but still know a lot). For watches though I only wear reps since I'm not dumb/perpetually poor, nobody would ever think I'm wearing a rep when I pull up in the cars I drive so there's no reason to just throw that money away on a "real" watch.

I should add, I had never really done a deep dive into the watch industry until recently (found a watch I liked that hasn't been replicated so did a bit of research). The whole authorized dealer for watches thing is the same scheme that Ferrari runs basically. If you participate in it, you are just a cuck. In the Ferrari world the whole game is getting you to buy some POS you don't want (FF, California, etc. in the Montezomolo and later era there has typically been a 2+2, V8 front engine car, or both to fill this role), just in hopes of getting bumped on a waitlist to get a car you sort of want, and once you have bought 4 from the same dealer, maybe you finally get that special car you actually wanted but never had the chance to drive, only to find out it's one of the worst Ferraris to drive on the road (458 Speciale, SF90 come to mind). People that like to come in to the dealerships basically get off on being abused while consooming at the same time. Meanwhile at any given time, there are always great "used" Ferraris left in the wreckage by these consoomers being sold with 400 miles on them, I'm sure it's no different for watches.

They're not the same. You can even tell in pictures. Sometimes the finish is not even the same. The worst part is how terrible they look when most people put them on the 5610 series which don't have the traditional shape and end up looking more rectangular. Even the buttons get hidden by the bezel so it ruins the entire design. There is really no reason not to get the real thing if you can afford it. You are not saving anything.

I honestly don't get how the near mint condition 1010 (right) doesn't work while the 1043 that looks like it was part of a motorcycle accident still functions. The amazing thing about the 1043 is I didn't even replace the battery, I guess because the motor wasn't ticking it didn't drain it.

Sounds like a whole lot of cope to make yourself feel better.

When you put it that way. Yeah, it's pretty sad that he needs to post here to get some kind of validation.

This guy has a way more impressive collection. Didn't know even though you've seen him on TV wearing them? Me neither - because he is bald. No amount of money spent on watches can make you not bald. The only people asking why even try are bald people.

Accusing others of coping is in itself a coping mechanism? Are you also old and fat, anon? What touched a raw nerve?

Watch related? Just straps. I also have 2 pairs of glasses and a pinkie ring I'm waiting on.

Unironically, Lawyeranon is one of the very few posters here that doesn't shitpost or talks down to others. Just don't compare to him.

>He's unmarried and has no children.
How is that bad? I don't want children either. You are just clearly coping for dear life.

God if this comes in the same size as the 289 I'd be all over it, but the handset suggests otherwise.
44GS in 40mm sits so bad on the wrist

Redpill me on sailcloth watch straps
