They're a way to project success without outwardly saying you're successful, because that would be tawdry.

Luxury watches are literally boomer-tier.

>>14591253
store of value.
just like a Jackson Pollock.

social classes like to distance themselves from others. so they start buying or doing irrelevant shit like adopting manneurisms or wearing certain brands.

imagine it like a balance, those poor like to "challenge" the rich. The rich will buy an expensive desk for 5k made out of some special wood. average or poor people will buy one of ikea or second hand and legitimize it by saying "it does the same job as the other desk, so I saved 5k." ignoring the fact that the other desk is actually better quality.

Humans are animals and bearing an expensive watch signals the female that you want to make babies. The more expensive your watch, car clothes are ...

but it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality is better and is backed by the price.

most products have a buywall they artificially break. for example most electric guitars are the best at around 1k, spending more than that on an electric guitar will not make the sound better, its just BS marketing about some special wood or color finish.

same with rolex, rolex is produced in the same factory as tissot with the same quality conditions. so you can expect about the same quality from a 500 bucks watch then one that costs 10k or more. if you really need to buy a rolex to prove something to the people you hang around buy it, if not, save the money for other stuff.

Yes but not in the watch world where quartz watches are objectively better than mechanical in every measure yet mechanical watches are often more expensive.

>>14591253
They are the Dane Cook of high end watches.

They're nice watches but they are mostly a status symbol, though. It communicates "I've made it" to girls, your peers and your own family. Even a nicer, more expensive watch will mostly just get you attention from watch nerds. If you care about the quality of the actual timepiece you might as well be a female obsessing over your pretty jewelry.

I own three...and I’m a normal fag. They’re really nothing special...just a nice hefty feeling and more solid than a normal watch.

Quartz watches versus Rolex's are like the difference between buying a Honda Civic versus a sleigh made out of solid gold.

It's just peacocking

Watches have no real use nowadays with smart phonea

>>14591359
Are you this out of touch? They're even more popular now than ever before because of zoomer trust fund kiddies showing off their wealth on Instagram, before this used to be just for the old rich fuckers

>>14591324
Vacheon sucks, I own an Audemars Piguet, get on my level you plebian

>>14591253
Before smartphones people used to wear these retarded chunks of metal on their wrists.

Some people like to pay extreme amounts of money for ones made from special shiny types of metal to show off to their friends.

>>14591365
Fucking garbage tier (((art)))

>>14591628
That's idiotic. Wrist watches were invented because pulling something out of your pocket to check the time is a pain in the ass. Unless you spend your entire work day behind a computer, a watch still has utility.

>>14591504
Except that Tissot has an ETA mass produced movement while the Rollie has an in house movement. Also that Tissot will not appreciate while that Rolex will hold and increase in value. Not saying one will do its job better than the other in any noticeable way, but the value proposition is vastly different.

> Pulling something out of your pocket occasionally is less of a pain in the ass than attaching a heavy mechanical device to your wrist 24/7.

>>14591780
Only wagecucks need to know what time it is

It’s subtly showing status.
I have heard that Rolex’s are solid investments/ hold their value.

>>14591833
Pretty sure my G-Shock only weighs like 50 grams. Though a heavy mechanical watch honestly feels great to wear

>>14591780
found the peasant. pocket watches are for the high class. got this bad boy for 50k and the ladies on the street always keep staring at it when I pull it out

>>14591253
It's a good way to launder money

>>14591975
lol, what's wrong with your hand??

pic related is a REAL watch. pocket watches are stupid, and just to pretend status

>>14591313
rolex is good for meetings with mid level people, more like a "made it" version of them and less like a blood sucking aristo

watches are for reddit npcs that need to prove to other npcs they are above them and anyone telling u otherwise is in on it defending their status amongst npcs. if they ever attempted to signal their status outside of npc circle theyd be btfo to the ground

lol @ poorfags just using their phones to tell the time
