>>50129031
Luxury watches are cringe.

>>50129070
that is right... "luxury" watches is boomer stuff and ofc loser poser incels also buy them - mostly the fake ones

>>50129031
Lmfao meanwhile the biggest luxury watch seller platforms are going public and writing record profits. Why's that?

>>50129103
Because retards got massive airdrops.
But you can't cheat nature, it all goes back to the top.

>>50129538
It doesn't fucking matter as long as it's a status symbol. That's like seething about jewelry, holy kek. Just think of watches as jewelry

>>50129545

I've got one of those $15 casio calculator watches. It gets more complements and conversation going than a rolex. When I see someone wearing a luxury watch, I think they are just flexing like a rapper or something.

>>50129031
I bought a Rolex no date sub during Bull market for 3.4 ETH and sold it last week for 12.5k usd, gonna re buy ETH back at $600-750
Then I'll rebuy the watch when ETH hits new all time high.
Thanks for playing

>>50129031
Boomers pay for the brand not for the tech.

>>50129755

luxury watch get you quiet mutual recognition in other places

>>50129823
The crypto meme is over bro.. don’t waste your money. There will be another fad soon save til then

>>50129988
Only Lange and JLC still have their historic quality. Patek and Vacheron are pale imitations of what they used to be.

Rolex has made questionable design decisions with their maxi case, maxi dial, etc. shit but the quality is still great and they're built like a tank.

>>50130028

>>50129031

What are you, a wagie?

you can spot all fakes, they are not sooo good. the movement is shit, bracelt allways wrong and the the cheap chines movement are not very smooth with the second hand.

Rolex and Patekt keep their value, not like stocks, crypto or any other asset.

>>50130181
But mines worth 2k tho (I inherited it)

Luxury is cringe. No need for luxury anything

>>50129031
>that typesetting on the fake

>>50129031
You assume it's not real because you're in the wrong room.
I might be a fucking idiot who was coddled all his life, but I was born into a wealthy family, and I never saw anybody with anything more expensive than a daytona... but they didn't buy these watches because they were expensive, they were just good watches, and lasted.
I don't understand this white glove, reference id # blah blah bullshit. The fucking youtube channels that follow these watches and all that is nonsense. The whole point is the watch is good, the brand is reliable, and you never have to buy another watch.
I spoke to a guy that owns a (now) 50 billion dollar company in North America and he literally said that about his watch. Never have to buy another one ever again.

>>50129031
Luxury watches are actually a good buy, they’ve gone up a lot in the last couple years already but I doubt it will stop anytime soon

>>50129755
How much pussy does it get you though

>>50130236
>any other asset
There are industries that survive every revolution, every dictator, and are always useful. Buy gold for the off chance you're wrong about the next boss, but odds are he is like the old one.
You want to buy millions of dollars in rolex's because they are always valuable? They are not always valuable since in Asia they ended up being sold (real ones) for 90% off next to the guy's mercedes when the deflationary shocks hit.

Business is the only way. You need to be useful to society.

You boomerfucks be debating Rolex while I'm debating whether or not to buy this $700 watch to go with my suit

>>50129095
>loser poser incels also buy them - mostly the fake ones
what exactly is wrong with that? 10 bucks for a fake rolex from aliexpress to flash in front of niggers and women is a worthy investment

>>50131474
it's literally an excuse for women to come touch your wrists
if you can't get pussy from there it's a you thing
honestly if there's pussy out there you can get with a watch do you really want it in the first place?

I love coming to these threads just to see the poor autists seethe at watches that rival their net worth
>>50131781
That's a fine looking watch, Seiko is best bang for your buck and I'd recommend it to all young people that are still making their money and can't afford Rolex yet
>t. I own Seiko and still bought Seiko after I had Rolex in my collection

>>50129031
Even when I make it im still not buying real luxury watches unless it's something that can't be replicated to a high enough standard. High end replicas are indistinguishable for 99.9% of people.

>>50129031
I don't use watches.

I just ask what time is it and look how normies unconfortably and temporarily come back from the smartphone hypnosis.

I also study the sunset/sunrise tables and have an idea of what time it is.

>>50129487
You absolutely have to go the fuck back

>>50133243

Oh...ok...thanks

I was looking at luxury watches, but I can't bring myself to spend $10k on a timepiece. wtf, I can just look at my phone lol.

Lmao he makes perfect sense actually. Go back to school

>>50129031
Only thing more cringe than a super expensive watch is a fake one. Who you trying to impress? All it says is you are a discount bargain bin wannabe. Just don’t wear a fucking watch

>>50133243
>not having a finely tuned body clock,
just take a guess
start trying to think of it and you'll just know what the time is after you do it for a while.
>well it's been about 3 hours since i last checked at 9. its probably around noon.
shits not a difficult process.
hint, if theres dew its morning. if the sun is above your right shoulder then that means youre roughly facing north roughly around 8-9am in autumn/winter..
how do people even do things?

>>50129031
>When I see someone wearing a luxury watch I just assume it's not real, they're no longer signs of wealth.
it has to match their lifestyle
car, house, clothes must match
just get a fake anyways cause nobody can fake a lambo

>>50133000
shape of the bezel and the finish on the metal

>>50133458
i can rent a lambo a house and a woman. i can return clothes. i can get a fake watch.
part of the lifestyle is knowing how to conduct yourself and what to expect from people.
i had a guy who happened to be a millionaire at work, i contemplated giving him better service but i already did what i could and it wouldnt matter anyway. but if you meet some of these guys it doesnt matter about the watch because theyre normally a shrewd cunty sort of creature. but they'll be sure to flex it subtly normally.

any investor should sell and buy some cheap classics now. the high level money is all just laundering and contract fraud/deferred debt anyways

>>50132604
Which Seiko would you reccomend for under 2k?

>>50131781
My cheap Seiko 5 was alright at first but became too unreliable after I dropped it once (would be off about 5 minutes every week).

I replaced it with a Seiko solar which I have zero regrets with. Still accurate to within 1 minute after a year.

>>50133514
I honestly don't see it with the shape. The finish on the metal I can concede but all in all, I think they're pretty passable fakes.

>>50133596
Depends on your needs, if you don't have any watches then I'd recommend going as versatile as possible, so probably a white dial dress watch with a day and date
2k on a Seiko is not necessary and I can't even think of any that cost that much, maybe a used Grand Seiko would cost that much (A Seiko is basically a toyota and Grand Seiko would be a Lexus)
Grand Seiko is for nerds and not needed, spending that kind of money for a Grand Seiko is better spent putting towards a fucking RAAAAAWWWLECKS

>>50130050
Patek pumping out about twice as many watches per year compared to Vacheron, who have Geneva seal on movement and case.

Cartier and Glashütte Original both pretty much have vertically integrated in-house production.

>>50130255
Luxury might possibly be a wage cuck thing in the future.
Wage cucks buy expensive useless shit, when owners buy affordable, reliable shit. Wage cucks get indebted, so enslaved, owners get even richer.
Also reminder that in luxury products, the factory makes usually more profit. So basically they sell you a product whose price is way higher than it's production cost.

>>50133801
Machine finishing work isn't acceptable for the prices they're charging, and production is way too high to meet Chinese demand. Honestly out of the high-end shit I would only consider a Lange as they actually do finish work by hand (which is why their movements still often contain interior angles).

>>50133962
>The rich will give up their Rolls Royces, private jets and mansions to drive used Camrys like I do
Absolutely coping

>>50133000
When I hear the name Patek I automatically think of an Indian programmer from Mumbai.

>>50131781
Nothing designed and/or made outside of USA and Europe is ever good. You can get a 2nd hand luxurious Swiss watch for slightly more

>>50129031
I feel the same about tits
the value of real tits has tanked due to shitty implants

>>50134238
Good job exposing your dumb ass. Nothing beats seiko in terms of movement quality. Euro brands are still seething after 50 years. They are no better than a cartel and only profit by inflating their perceived worth.

>>50134511
I feel the same about women
All women are men until proven otherwise

>>50135377
Cope, poorfag. You are buying an unreliable watch because their quality control is awful compared to Euros.
My Vacheron will be passed on for generations, at least your chink crap can be recycled into something more useful.

>>50129031
No one you want ever comments on your watch, only watch enthusiasts. And if you don't know what you're wearing:
"Nice sub, bro!"
"No, it's a Rolex"
You're going to regret buying it because you look like and are a cunt. Wear the watch you want but wear class. If you don't want to be associated with every other fucking cunt who walks into the mall who doesn't know what he wants, then that's what you'll look like to everyone who knows anything about watches.

Or just be a little faggot like everyone else and get your Apple "watch" and pretend you're the Terminator.

>>50129031
I can confirm, fakes now are so good that you sometimes need extra tools (at least a magnifying glass) to spot them.
I suggest only buying watches from official sellers.

>>50129031
The real reason the luxury watch industry is over is that smart watches are functionally superior in every possible way. The mechanical wristwatch will soon be as antiquated as a pocket watch.

>>50129755

You don’t go anywhere important and you get no pussy at all

Outed yourself with that Casio

>>50137265
>wore an Apple Watch for 2 years
>went back to regular watches

They’re superior at everything except actually being a watch. They’re useless for telling time or doing anything else when their battery is constantly dead after a few months of actual use. At this point I look at them as the mark of an NPC.

This explains why women get really pissed if you lie about your wealth or status. Cheating is not allowed! Fake Rolexes are one way to do that.

Some swiss watch brands have watches costing over $100k

For that much money you can have a custom one-of-a-kind watch made for 1/10th that price

The luxury watch thing is just like $40k purses for women, its just people with more money that brains.

You can also irradiate certain parts to have them be only from the certified makers; gold is done this with way with stamps and radioactive particles to trace the origin. QR/RFID chips can be copied with ease, certain markings with nanotech similar to computer chips would work.
