>>17513339
The majority of this forum user base is men - and we’re all friends here. I enjoy being able to relate to other men openly, honestly, emotionally and sexually. I have many other hobbies and pursuits, but I find that only the watch collecting community allows to me to hang my laundry while I water the garden, if you catch my meaning. There’s no judgment or casting aspersions. You all allow me to speak frankly and candidly, whether it’s simple hypotheticals, locker room talk or something mysterious and deeper.

I have made many intimate, sensual connections with other men on this subreddit. I’m heterosexual, but I’ve never returned postage back to the sender. Why should I feel intimidated or put out if one of you contacts me privately, to share their watch collecting experiences?

I am a very sexual being. Looks aren’t everything. The sexual, spiritual contact being made is enough to satiate me. Now, if a consenting adult wants to arrange a personal meet up where we meet face to face and something more physical and erotic develops…who is to say that’s wrong?

Certainly not me. I’m old school, I don’t judge other men or turn my nose up to sensual words of affirmation. If another man expresses desire for me - even though I’m not that way - why should I (a confident and secure man) ever be upset or put out?

I’m rock steady.

I don't think you understand how rich people operate. They take loans and finance shit all the time because their cash has more value than your cash at any given time.

First of all, if you're buying a Reverso at least get the one with the small second. That one looks cheap.
And it depends. As a second or third watch, sure why not. As a daily? Don't. The movement inside is terrible (and quite frankly a shame for a brand like JLC).

I don't know why a mentally well-adjusted human being would think that I'd be embarrassed about liking my Grand Seiko. Are you still in middle school or something to think anonymous peer pressure would make me second-guess my taste?

He once posted a pic of his dog and his place looked like it has at least three levels and a huge garden. Where does he live? Most american cities that's a half a mill house, I think.

Bro, good credit just means you're a good goy that pays back loans regularly including interest. The goal in life is not to have an 850 credit score, its paying cash and not using credit so your score goes to 0.

I grow more convinced by the post that /wt/ attracts the opposite of the targeted demographic for watch enthusiasts.

Why do you refuse to post your timestamped collection? You seem very proud of your nonexistent VC. You're not so tied to your LARP that your mind would shatter if it were to be dispelled, are you?

[Anonymous No.17514286]

>>17514278
Thats true, a lot of /wt/ posters just find the most abhorrent shit and then play it off as if they're the enthusiast with taste when 15 people say its fucking ugly. Then those same people will point out its $2000 so it must be better than a $150 "shitter".

Imagine the lack of life experience you have to have to say the mark of success is not having a credit history.
Then understand this person posts opinions about luxury timepieces.
>>17514295
Why don't you just post your timestamped collection? I pinky promise I'll say something nice about it.

I have an 800 something credit score. If your life goal is to take out loans, get charged interest, and then pay it back slowly, then take out another loan, then slowly pay it back, then fine, aspire to whatever goodgoy number you want. My goal is to have money and not care what my credit score is or what the interest rate is.

[Anonymous No.17514304]

>>17514299
The class war only goes one way. I'm the anon that owns the GS. People who don't own a "luxury" watch are seething for no reason while pretending that they do. It's absurd.

I'll ask the same question in the next thread. You did score a solid win, though - all this posting made me email my first draft of a medical records summary for a medical malpractice case well beyond the time I wanted to. You made me work until 8pm, anon! A win for the proletariat!

You definitely don't have a credit score if you think good credit necessitates taking out loans and paying them back slowly.

So why do you need an excuse to buy a watch? Just buy it rather than using your son as a prop in your watch collecting.
