Pretty much every online community has better taste in watches than 4chan.
People here keep fighting like niggers about high horology, Rolex and JLC like their lives depend on it, but when it comes to actual wrist shots all you see are uninteresting Seiko, Timex or the cheapest early 2000s Omega worn on overweight brown wrists.
Frankly can't think of a cringiest thing than reading the opinions of amerimutt basement dwellers about fine european watchmaking. It's just so obvious you all have no idea what you're talking about that I'm convinced you need to focus 20s to read the time on your worthless shitter.
But I'll admit sometimes you make me laugh, especially when one of you comes up with the dumbest hot takes like "I'D GET A GIRARD PERREGAUX OVER A ROLEX". Only here you read this kind of hilarious idiotic shit.

How do I get used to wearing a watch? To start with, having 200gs strapped to my wrist feels surprisingly heavy and restrictive of movement. The other thing that annoys me is slippage. Maybe it's because I have my watch too high up on the wrist/forearm and it's adjusted for that sort of circumference. When I contract the muscles in my forearm (like when I ball my fist) the watch slips down and more or less rides up onto my hand. This fucks with my head and I find myself without thinking keeping my hand flat so this doesn't happen, but this obviously restricts hand and arm motion.

So Christopher ward finally took his name off the dial. Now he just needs to fix that awful handset and i might consider getting one. I also wish he would ditch the display case back, i don't need to look at an undecorated sw200 but every fag that buys a cheap auto wants a window on the back so i guess they are never going away.

At what income is it appropriate to have a gold Rolex? I couldn't sleep last night so I was scrolling through chrono looking at uncommon models and I spied this beauty for not much money, but I don't want to flex too hard. I'm currently a grad student and should probably save for a house but the government keeps throwing grant money at me and it's way more fun to blow it on nonsense.

Also yes I'm aware the strap on this particular model doesn't fit the lugs right, but it has a gold Rolex clasp which I'd assume isn't hard to fit on a new strap with appropriate taper.

The issue of money is something you would have a better opinion of, but in regards to your concern of what other people think, if you love the watch, that should be what matters most to you. There will always be someone out there to say something disparaging about your watch, but if you truly love it, you will be able to tune them out.

maybe its not "worth it", but
get them to change the O ring in the back too, if possible.
old rubber becomes brittle and the water resistance can be compromised easily (if thats important for you)
if its too expensive, buy O rings + silicone grease from aliexpress for cheap and do it yourself. It should be like $10 together.

you can buy a casio gold watch for $50 or a mechanical gold watch for <$300 (seiko, orient)
if you want to go super hipster sleazecore you can hunt down the ultra rare orient president and be the envy of shitter-collectors online

don't do anything to it. Its part of the "history" of the watch now.

you could probably take out the bezel and fill it with clear epoxy to make it shiny again though.
