That's true, but /wt/ and /frag/ are where the fatties gather.

Here, obviously, because they can get a watch with the money they're not spending on good clothes.

Take a picture from further away to mitigate the fish-eye effect. (Taking a pic of yourself in the mirror is optimal)
As it stands, the ends of the lugs are too close to, if not past, the sides of your wrist. That suggests it's too big.

But, again, it might be simply because it was a bad picture.
(The watch itself is nice, though.)

just look at the date window. The date is not in the center, the frame has a visible seam in the bottom right. That's not something you should expect from a quality watch.
Then look at the top right lug, it looks as if someone tried to do a brush finish, and also sanded some kind of groove into it by accident.
Then there's this weird finishing on the bracelet. Go visit an AD and try on some generic datejust, you'll get a feel for what it should look like

Partially. The idea that the normie default choice is also the best makes all the "research" guys have done in determining which watch is "best" seem like a silly waste of time.

Uh, no. You're talking about the Defy Lab, which had an experimental 15Hz movement with an oscillator made from a single piece of silicon (pic related). Zenith only made a handful of these and was never able to put them into production. Basically a proof of concept that was immediately retconned.

Here's the thing with Rolex : they're the only company that get their watches tested and certified at -2/+2s a day. If your Rolex is tested at -3s/day, you can just walk into a Rolex AD and get it regulated to fit into that -2/+2s timeframe.
Now that doesn't mean other watches can't be as accurate as Rolex. Even a basic ETA movement can be as accurate. But if your Zenith loses 10s a day, the people at Zenith will tell you to gtfo because the watch you bought isn't even COSC certified.

That's horseshit. He's happy to talk about his own watches and he's friendly to a point but he has no ability to handle banter at all. As soon as he detects anything that isn't fawning admiration, he goes nuclear and starts spamming his "seething" reaction images. It's to the point where I'm not sure the word has any meaning anymore.

That's the reason he was kicked off Watchuseek. He pissed off a lot of people trying to lord over actual rich people, while he hasn't spent nearly as much as it seems. Nearly all his watches he bought second-hand and before the market blew up during the coof.

I like the bracelet and it's the only jubilee bracelet watch I have. Maybe down the line if I find a cool 18mm rubber strap that fits it.

Careful you don't drop it, ceramic is fragile to impact force. You could have a lug snap off or a big crack form in the case.

They look pretty cool though. .

Phoibos is pretty solid, have voyager v2 myself, it's a tank
Idk for sure about this one, but look at its thickness and weight, it might be too much for your wife, since her other two watches are probably pretty lightweight and thin
