>>51115999waste of trips faggot. Aside from the fact that most high end watches are also a high ROI investment, they also are to flex on nigs like you

>>51115999That 31k object has a resell value of 31k or more. That $400 knockoff looks out of portion and had a resell value of 0 because of no one would want to wear a used trashcan of a watch that barely resemble the original.At leat get a cheap homage watch from Amazon if you want particular look on a cheap.
>>51116559Right.
>>51115999>indistinguishable That shit looks cheap and fake as fuck. You don’t even need to be an expert on Rolex watches to tell that’s bottom tier fake trash. It doesn’t even look convincing in the pic.
>>51116440This is the kind of watch people only wear when they really want to show off their wealth. Wearing a cheap one is the equivalent of walking around with thick gold chains around your neck that are fake
>>51115999it's literally just brown people I swear, I have never seen a self respecting non-nigger white guy buy one of thosemy paki friend is always going on about buying those stupid watches
ladies don't care about rolex anymore they're all about timex
>>51116559quite obviously the right. theres a massive giveaway right in the middle.
would you rather have one million dollar rolex or 50,000 of these casios?
>>51116872or 4500 seikos?i actually think both these watches look better
i mean think about it, you could just walk around handing out casios all day every day to everyone you meet for the rest of your life. leaving a tip at the bar, casio. see an old friend, hand him a casio. someone asks for the time, casio. chick asks for your phone number, you've engraved it on the back of a casio. business cards? no, casios. i would buy 50,000 casios before i bought one million dollar rolex, it would be a lot more fun. could literally just throw watches at people all day.
if you think thats crazy check the diamond market
>>51115999tbqh if you wear something that's demonstrably outside of what you can reasonably own, you deserve to be called outI'd buy a fake explorer since no-one will question it but it still marginally elevates your statusPlus it's a fun adventure watch you can ding and scratch without issue

>>51119270>grand seiko entry-level luxury>louis vuitton luxuryKEK, some of the things in this light might be on the right spots but what the fuck is louis vuitton doing in there? if you are wondering what is luxury, compare the second hand market with the retail price. rolex, pateks, etc go secondhand for more than their retail price due to artificial scarcity. tudors, grand seikos etc are roughly the same, you can buy them, wear the watch and sell them a year later at no cost.brands like louis vuitton however, your watch loses 80% of its value the moment the transaction goes through. you can compare these prices right now. they charge 5000$ for chronographs you can get secondhand for 800$not to discourage you and you should buy whatever you like, but if you are buying something thats going to lose 80% of its value you might as well buy one secondhand and you'll be able to afford a whole collection of them for the same amount of money
>>51116189i like the glowing hands
I spent maybe $60 each for these Rolex’s. I know they can be spotted by some watch fag but for 99% of people it’s real, get compliments everyday.

>>51120678by any chance do you live in this region?
>>51120459You going to get raped talking like that
>>51115999Based OP.Anyone seriously considering these watches to be investments are retarded. Every single scratch and wear you accumulate actually wearing one of these watches will devalue it for more than what one of these 1:1 clone reps costs.Unless you plan on keeping it in its box and never wearing it, buying a rep is a no brainer as an "investment" move.

>>51120137>>51120216watch fag here, I compliment people's obviously fake watches just so I can watch them squrim, or sometimes rarely, get impressed by their ability to lie through their teeth. here's the thing about fake/real watches: you don't need to look at the watch at all. look at the person. what do they wear, what do they drive, how do they speak. if it doesn't match, it's a fake. this is a better approach than any HQ pictures. because you can't hide your tacky lifestyle with a "gen" replica. sorry.
>>51116397I like the GS watches but the straps just don't look good enough to me, only thing stopping me buying one.
>>51115999> not patek
Good entry watch into Swiss watches is one of these both under 1k, good quality
>>51123098Used to have the left, but with blue wristband (also metal).cool watch, shame it got stolen
>>51115999Unironically I have this watch
>>51123151But I bought all my Rolex’s from a store so I wasn’t kiked out of my money like these shithole 3rd party resellers
>>51119270Blancpain makes some gorgeous watches..
I have an authentic Rolex. It's not worth 30k but around 16k. I could have bought a replica since they are available everywhere but I did not. Why?You idiots don't seem to understand that purchasing a luxury watch isn't SPENDING as in the money is gone. When you buy a cheap shit watch, try selling it after 5 years. It will have lost almost all of its value. Try selling a fake rolex after 5 years and you will get nothing for it since it's shit quality cracking down or nobody wants it anyways since it's fake (assuming you're not trying to trick people into buying your "real" watch ofc, don't be that person anyways). But when I want to reallocate my money in 5 years I can just sell my rolex, worldwide that is, with no fucking problem finding a buyer, for roughly the same price that I paid. Most likely I will even make a profit on it since it's a classic model and not some gaudy iced out nigger tier watch, they tend to lose a lot of their value for obvious reasons. I get to wear a nice watch that I enjoy, that also has an impact on the people I do business with (most also wear expensive watches and could easily spot a fake watch btw) and if I ever grow tired of the watch I can just sell it. Maybe I will never sell it and it's just a drop of value in my security backup money pool. Mqaybe I will give this watch to my kid one day and it'll be a symbol of value to him. I don't actually care about the watch. It's a piece of jewelry, I'm not emotionally attached to. But it's not a waste of money to me for the reasons I wrote.
Anyone have experience with Bell & Ross? As an entry-level luxury brand it’s a difficult call as they don’t have the reputation or the build quality of the higher end manufacturers but can still cost you a few thousand USD. Some of their models do look pretty good, but it might be safer to throw a bit more money in and choose a more established luxury brand.
>>51123236sounds like cope because you didnt buy the fake 300 dollar rolex thats indistinguishable. your kid doesnt want your shitty beat up rolex
>>51120901I'm not an elitist, that just an ugly watch. Not that deep
>>51115999What i don't understand is wearing expensive things at allIt just puts a target on your head
Watches are for materialistic faggots and nerds
>>51123338Not if you’re surrounded by similar people

>>51119270This. You only go for consumer stuff like Casio or Seiko or ultra stuff like the trinity or RMs. Everything in between is a massive cope.
>>51123098i usually don't go for metal bands but the one on the right is so well integrated into the design. tissot made a winner there, it's a popular watch. hamilton is also a good entry into swiss watches. i like the brands where you get good value for money, not cheap just quality and good value for money.
>>51115999
>>51123446Sounds like you live among niggers
>>51123236yeah that's fair, that's the only mindset anyone should have buying a rolex. and only if they have enough money to justify it. but as a store of value diversification that's also a nice watch. it just annoys me that the watches aren't actually worth that price and it sells for as much as it does only because of brand recognition and planned scarcity. if i was to spend 16k on a watch i'd want something that really costs over 12k to make in terms of finishing and skilled handcrafting that can't be replicated by machine. i'm not sure what watch would qualify for that though or whether it would be be able to sell as easily as a rolex sells for. also everyone knows the name rolex, while the hypothetical artisan made watch i'm talking about would probably go unrecognized and thus unable to flex or impress sluts. so in the end if i had the money to justify it maybe i would go with a genuine rolex anyways.some watches you can spend as much as a rolex but they don't hold their value, also aren't worth the cost of materials and craftsmenship, and aren't well recognized brands in high demand. some people still buy those but whats the point.but if you just want to flex a name brand to impress sluts there's nothing wrong with a replica. but thats all a replica is good for.
>>51123396indeed>>51119976>>51120195i think he based his list solely on msrp. as if that was all that mattered. i guess to some people it does. >>51120137do you get compliments from women? thats the only reason i'd buy a replica rolex. because i cant justify spending the money on a real one but still would like to get laid by materialistic sluts if possible. at her place not mine since my place would reveal that i'm not rich. and we'd have to walk to her place since "my porsche is in the shop"
that was a wonderful thread>t. spergs on suicide watch (hehe)if you retards actually invested into looking good, a rolex would only be an accessory for you.

>>51122600Everyone one knows this watch fag it’s not that deep. Thing is most interactions with people last less time than they can to completely scope out your lifestyle.>>51120137Yes
>>51123594Meant to reply to this.Yes. It was ~$60 and I get nice comments from men and women. Most don’t even know how expensive a Rolex even is.
>>51123601yes, a good looking watch, even if it's a good value for money watch rather then a luxury watch, should be paired with good looking well fitted clothes. no point in a rolex if you're going to wear it with a sloppy ill-fitting t-shirt and blue jeans.
>>51115999Actually I got mine for 300 USD.Yes it's an automatic, mechanical.
>>51123772>no point in a rolex if you're going to wear it with a sloppy ill-fitting t-shirt and blue jeans.It depends on the model. The sportier tool-type watches go with almost any attire. You can wear shorts and a t-shirt with an Explorer or Submariner and will work just fine
>>51115999Im not a watch guy but these go up in value.Rolex dont produce many. If you buy a few you can get ti purchasing nice ones.If you buy and sell every 2nd one you could build a big portfolio.Buy a daytona for $45k AUD at my local watch dealer and sell for $200k AUD.But they wont sell it to anyone.
>>51123462Personnel instead of personal ngmi/never going to own a Rolex.
>>51116481Added to my speed clone list
>>51122624this plus design.there's something about it that just doesn't cut for me, both in plain and sport collection they've made some odd design choices like that cock shaped hour hand and overly dressed bracelet.
>>51123492nice, had a champagne dial khaki king (with the 80h movement) and it'ss by far my most universal watch. the leather strap broke so now it's on a burgundy nato
what's the point of owning a watch? just use your phone.
There are people who will pay $400 for a knock off instead of a $40 Timex that will last longer than they will on this earth.
f91w or bustworn them for 20 years, in combat, on vacation, in business suits, in swim suitsI get a real tickle out of having a higher net worth than watchfags and their wrist jewelrythat downwards sidelong glance at whats behind me handthe slight furrow of the brow when they see walmart tier plasticit doesn't mesh with their expectationsit gives them something to think about>why does this man who is 10x my worth wear a $10 watch?>what is he trying to say?
>>51124571timex quartz is durable yes, but fucking loud. i have one and i buried it somewhere so the ticking didn't drive me mad. love that indiglo though. some people prefer an automatic movement because its just neat. timex makes some nice automatics too, good value for money, i like their waterbury shown here for $300 loonies so about $230usd. >>51116830but lets face it, you're buying a replica to trick women into thinking you have money so they suck your dick, nothing wrong with that, but no other reason to buy one. can get a nice tissot or hamilton instead.
>>51124657whatever the price it's a quality watch
>>51124441>when you want to wear / create a rolex rep but are afraid to go all the way
My phone tells the time better than any of these watches, always on the right time thanks to something called the internet. I don't even have to look at it, I can just ask it.
>>51116080>greater fool watch buyerLmfao watchfags are truly massive, gullible retards
>>51124828nobody cares
>>51122600there are two types of people who wear reps: people who admire the genuine watch--its craftsmanship and aesthetics--probably more so than the person who owns the gen, and who also similarly admire the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the rep; and phonies who want to wear it as a flex. if someone like you were complimenting my watch i'd say haha its a replica but thanks.
Just use a poorfag orient watch until you can afford to wait for the call. I have orient kamasu and it's been pretty solid
>>51124889no, it's just dudes trying to get laid by shallow roasties and they're not willing to pay full price to do that. i can respect that. if you care about craftsmenship and aesthetics there are better options for the same price that aren't replicas.
>>51124928girls don't care about your watch

>knockoffngmirich people have ingrained integrity on their soul>>51124919thismy first watch is an orient bambino
>>51124971>neednobody "needs" anything more then macronutrients, water, and shelter from the elements. it's a want, not a need. a better question is why do people want watches in 2022.for some people it's a wealth flex if its an expensive watch. for other people they just like the style. some people its a nostalgia thing. some people see a nice watch as a piece of art or they appreciate and enjoy the engineering behind the mechanism. if you're not into, totally understandable. but if you don't get it, you're probably an emotionally stunted retard.
>>51116146There’s nothing interesting about a fake rolex though. A real rolex is awesome. And you will get your money back if you want to sell it. A fake rolex i would always be paranoid and i will never get that $500 or $1000 back. If i buy a fake rolex there better not be a single goddamn person on this earth who can tell.
>>51125022also some people just prefer to glance at their wrist instead of reaching in and out of their pocket. thats a plus as well
>>51125053also if you're riding a bike a lot reaching into your pocket is a double hassle. and some people don't always have their phone on them either, i know i don't. so yeah, i've listed a few reasons people might want a watch, now to wait for the enraged replies from people really passionate about hating watches
>>51125048The point of genuine watches is your psyche. If you know you have fake watch it will make will down, no matter copium, real watch will lift your soul. Also ... Rolex is not really luxury watch, Pateks are very stylish and superior.
>>51116559I’m not even a watchfag and even I can tell that the right has better tooling and attention to detail
>>51116559the main difference is in the "patek philippe geneve"the letters are not on the same lines
do not buy patek or RM or jacob & co etc. they're for try hard incelsif you can notice certain personalities are always attracted to certain brands, like niggers to AP, incels to patek, chads to vacheron rolex cartier etc.

>>51125223Watches are handsome just like the men wearing them
>>51125298yeah handsome homos i wear an old t-shirt that doesn't fit me well, i bought it for 5 bucks at walmart, it has stains that won't wash off (not that i wash it often because not a faggot). my pants have tears in them. i could buy a nice new shirt and pants and wear a watch but i'm not a homo.
>>51125324I guess you can still be handsome in a bohemian kind of way with that style. Lots of artists, actors etc pull it off pretty well if they’re otherwise in good shape
>>51115999>>51116146>>51116227where can I buy the knockoffs? I want a Breitling god damn it

>>51125486If you try to look and smell as repulsive as possible, literally like a bum living in the streets, people won’t bother to think if you’re gay or not, they’ll just want to get away from you. That should do it.

>>51126374Just realized it’s cloth so it’s a strap
The only people who wear traditional watches at all are absolute boomers and celebrities. There is zero actual purpose to owning a watch now other than fashion statement. And at that rate you're no better than the zoomers who buy expensive shit to look cool on social media for 5 minutes.
>>51125711Just proves that nobody but watch fags give a shit. The fake looks better than the one that costs 100000
I've finally realized why I hate most watchfags so much. Most of you are both niggers and women. Women because you think yourselves such elitists for your name brand authentic shit, niggers because lots of you have terrible taste and unlike most women will wear something really ugly because it's from a specific brand
you morons dont know shit about watches, they are extremely liquid assets that appreciate in value. you can only travel with 10k cash internationallybut put a 100k watch on your wrist and nobody bats an eye, and like i said, it is extremely liquid. no wonder you morons are poor as fuck and don't even know the use cases of these watches lmao.
>>51126565You sound dumb.
>>51126741Diamonds and gold in the butt is even better
>>51126799diamonds are not even liquid. gl with gold up your ass.
>>51125783Powell and Chris Hemsworth have infinite money. For them to buy a Rolex is equivalent to me spending 15 dollars on lunch instead of cooking at home. If you are not economically independent and spend money on watches for some idea of clout it is cringe as hell.
>>51126807I don’t see why diamonds would be less liquid than a Patek. If anything it’s more widely accepted as valuable and more difficult to damage. Yeah why stuck gold up there, the diamonds should be enough. Still more comfortable than a Patek though.
>>51126866let me correct myself, it is liquid, but you will almost always lose money unless you're in the diamond business and you're basically an expert or know someone who is. diamonds appreciate in value extremely slow.a watch can go from 10k to 100k in 5 years. for a diamond, it would take 100 years.
>>51126904I guess both the watch and the diamonds have their advantages. A watch can also depreciate and obviously you can damage it by accident and destroy it’s value that way
>>51116146you harm the company by buying fakes. It wrecks the brand that you love when people stop buying their stuff.
>>51116791east asians are the biggest consumers of this stuff and odds are the OP is chinese. They think they are geniuses for making counterfeit goods instead of just making their own brands that produce stuff that they can affford.
>>51116872i much prefer the g-shock since it is in the same price range as the counterfeit in the OP and it has a nice good look, is low maintenance, and is durable.
>>51123098why does every brand just knock off rolexes and put their own branding on it. Can't brands spend some of their money making their own designs?
>>51123306i think you're talking to people that genuinely aren't interested in being larpers wearing fake stuff.
>>51127142>you harm the company by buying fakesHow? It’s not away from their sales. The amount of fake rolexes around for example just proves how desired actual rolexes. The company has done very well.
>>51124441why do japs also focus so much on copying swiss watches? They copied the dial and bezel from the rolex submariner. Even if the stuff is eccentric i prefer new designs.
>>51124976everybody knows most luxury watches are 300 dollar replicas these days. Especially rolex since fake rolexes have been a thing for decades. Do you ever look at an asian wearing a rolex and really think it's genuine?
>>51126741I cant believe I had to scroll this far down to see someone say this, only retards think a rolex should be worn outside an the airportt. poorfag that knows nothing about watches
>>51125156lol every sleezeball in my city wears a fake rolex.
>>51126565i use my gshock daily at work and it suits me well.
>>51127288Every watch maker copies the classic designs made by the leading swiss brands
>>51126759Tell me what the purpose of a watch is besides for expensive fashion statement
>>51127376i just dont get why when they can just hire designers to make new designs. It's so lazy to just make knockoffs with your own branding.
>>51125019>rich people have ingrained integrity on their soulThis is the most bluepilled NPC golem shit I have ever heard in my entire life. You are the type of person that literally is convinced of arguments with things like “what color is YOUR Bugatti?”
>>51127444Well the watches that make the core of the product lines of Rolex and the like have been more or less the same for decades, they do introduce new versions with small design changes though. So why should the other brands invent something entirely new as there are these base designs that sell reliably? They just make their own version of it.
>>51127606but dont companies have the desire to make new designs? everyone that wears watches fantasizes about watches that they wish existed but havent been made yet. Why waste time rehashing the same old stuff from 100 years ago when it doesnt cost that much to just draw a picture and make some new design templates.
>>51127652There’s all sorts of technical and functional development going on that’s not that easy to spot. But as far as designing the outer looks go, it’s kinda the same as with sports cars, they sort of all look the same. There isn’t that much liberties to take in wrist watch design, unless you’re producing a very high end watch that’s almost a piece of art (see Patek for example). The shape, dial, hands etc. is always the same basically.

I can't even wear watches. my wrists are too thin. yeah I know you can get them adjusted. But when the piece itself is half the size of your hand it looks retarded.
>>51127553>>51127349>>51126831you all coping and deep down you know it's fact
>>51120644>ITT: watchfags getting dateJUSTed
>>51127200>GSHOCK>PROTECTION>WATER RESIST 20 BAR>TOUGH SOLARthere's just something so tacky about a watch that lists its features on the face of the watch but all digitals seem to do this. also there are only 4 buttons they don't need to be labelled, can you not remember what 4 buttons do.
>>51127652>everyone that wears watches fantasizes about watches that they wish existed but havent been made yetit's not just me thenprobably because these are massive corporate brands with all kinds of built in resistance to change or originality. it's about printing money at the end of the day and as little risk as possible since they're already so big their risk to reward ratio is about playing it safe. would be my guess.
>>51128153you're in luck, small watches have made a comeback now that the arms race between men and ladies watches is over. for a while there men and women were competing to see who could wear the biggest watches. women trying to wear man size watches to i dunno prove something and men trying to wear even bigger watches to keep up. then smartphones came and now only people who actually like watches wear them so smaller watches that actually fit your wrist are popular now and manufacturers are making them again. you could probably find a 36-38mm watch in a design you like if you look around. or look into vintage watches from back before the case size gender arms race.
Fuck are you all wasting your time arguing for, crypto is dying if there's not a Rolex on your wrist rn there never will be.
>>51127200get the ones with the rubber housing, it keeps you from damaging stuff with the watch like your truck paint or other stuff when you're stumbing around drunk. Fucking best watch ever. Absolutely retard proof.
>>51129446Rolex watches are lame as fuck I got a phone to tell time, it can tell me what time it is any where in the fucking world.
>>51115999>Wears JEWelry like a niggerWhat a waste of trips
>>51129928k>>51130423thanks for your input
>>51115999when you're rich enough that $30k is a drop in the pond for you, a rolex will look pretty sweet
>>51130436> K Go back faggot.
>>51130491k
>>51116292Other than the fact he uses reddit. This is what I dream of. A woman who loves me enough to ask ME.
>>51115999>>there are literally people that will pay $30k for a piece of stainless steel with a fancy logo on it, instead of an indistinguishable $400 knockoff
>>51119270You couldn't convince me of the differences between ultra-luxury, luxury, entry level luxury and quasi-lusury.
>>51125564Thata sad. I wish I didn't know that.
>>51115999Well I'm not buying either one but the $400 knockoff is literally worthless. The whole point of that Rolex is that you know it's expensive, luxury, etc. Who the fuck cares how accurately it tells time, your phone or cheap quartz are superior anyways.So if I can't afford the luxury, why would I wear a fake one? Literally the only point is that it would be the real deal. If I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Simple as. How incredibly cringe would it be to convince others that's its real when it's not. I guess if you embrace it and tell everyone its fake then its whatever but at that point why not just have $10 fake rolex bought from some arab at the beach. If you are not trying to convince other's its real I just idk. I guess there is a market for people that are INSANELY insecure and want to show off other's they are rich even though they aren't.
>>51130910bitcoins or the chink?
>>51130954it's equivalent to the distinction between costume jewelry and "real" jewelry. no one is buying a rep as a store of value or to be an heirloom
There are two types of people who deserve immediate and painful death:1. Poorfags who can't stand the fact that there are people who can easily afford a $20k watch and start babbling shit like "eeeh it's a waste of money. My phone tells the time just as well"2. These are actually worse: tryhards who want to larp as old money and bitching about how Rolex watches are "flashy". Of course they are flashy, that's the fucking point. 99% of the people out there only know Rolex anyway and let me tell you something about "old money". They're not flashing not because they don't want to flash but because they are embarrased to flash. They didn't make that money themselves, they just inherited it. I'd be embarrased as well.
>>51131090*embarrassed
>>51124441I own GS & love em, especially the season stuff, fancy dials & overall clean look. Would never consider getting such a GS diver though. looks like an attempt at being rolex and .. it just came out wrong. I hope they continue doing their own thing like say pic rel
>>51131090I agree on some of these point. But there is there is the other extreme also. When people think Rolex most people now associate them with iced out non-factory diamond garbage rappers wear. Not being a super nigger and wearing a Vacheron or a Lange instead is not being emabrassed, is just that you don't have to prove your wealth anymore to plebs, because people who know, know.
>>51131125this is why i want some nice well fitting clothes before i buy a tissot or a hamilton. so as not to damage the brand.
>>51130708Will you marry me?t. woman (male)
>>51131163they do nice dials, i like this one with the waves
>>51130954The whole point is that other people know, and if they don't know the origin, there is not an actual difference in it's authenticity. Highly autistic people like yourself don't understand this because they are only able to process the base layer of physical existence. Perception and control over the abstract concept matters far more that the actual reality of a thing
>>51116227Buy a used Issey Miyake watch instead, women will go APE when they see you wearing one.
>>51115999The amount of poverty and cope in this thread is fucking paramount. What a bunch of sad, miserable loosers. Even worse is that you're all fucking poor and larping as if you've ever had the ability to buy a Rolex. Fucking hell this board has gone down hill over the years.

>>51123503What's the name of the book
>>51131163i like the snowflake dial. the chink government actually prohibits chinese from making fake grand seikos because they want good relations within asia. They allow knockoffs of swiss watches because they are racist against europeans.
>>51132323the whole point of this thread is people bragging that buying a 400 dollar rolex is superior to the real thing. Most of the rolexes posted in this thread are knockoffs.
rolex wearers know that it is the human first and the rolex is merely a small last addition, the little cherry on top after face, money, fashion and fitanyone who wears grand seiko, patek, RM and all the other try hard incel brands are trying to pull a pilpul misdirection from their ugly face>look at me watch, more expensive than rolex, blease forget about my ugly faceflash news, it doesn't work
>>51115999>There are people that will buy useless glittery itemsLMAO
>>51116046Sorry but billions of dollars of electricity have rejected your fake and verified my real bitcoin. Cope.
>>51123236Your kid will just sell the watch and buy an iPhone, v-bucks and bottom surgery.
>>51134357>rolexthe only thing worse than a fake rolex is a real one. enjoy your nigger watch
>>51123430No one cares your cringe
>>51126741i can put a USB stick with 5billion dollars on it in my fucking pants and fly anywhere i want. Fuck your stupid poorfag watches. mongoloid fucks ruining my planet with their midwit iq
>>51127421don't poke the retards,they might wake up to the scam industry of watches. Can't wait till they hear about diamonds

>>51125249>do you wear a nice shirt? do you have nice pants? Unironically gay
>>5113095499.8% of people can't tell the difference between a fake rolex and real one. 400$ is a good investment knowing it's nothing more than a fashion statement
>>51115999>instead of an indistinguishable $400 knockoffFor $400 you can get a fitbit sense 2 or an apple watch and actually fit in with society. Analog watches are only for impressing boomers or keeping a novelty item.
>>51135836Analog watches aren't collecting my info for alphabet agencies
>>51135843Neither are digital. The crux of your argument is that you're even important enough to be on their radar. Which you aren't. So get over yourself.
>>51135887Seriously, what are you? A dumbfuck?Why should a random and publickly unknown person not have the right to be concerned about his private data ending up on big tech servers?Fucktards like you should install a live streaming webcam on their bathroom and bedroom. After all, you are unknown, unimportant and have therefore nothing to hide ...... right?
>>51122600Watches are gay, like you.
>>51123430>You will neverGood.
You know these things exist so rich people can spend their money right? That's the whole purpose of it.
>>51116202New knockoffs are so good that it's borderline impossible to tell without a full service, full services are sometimes not recommended if it's a collection piece, since a lot of collectors prefer untouched over functional. So you're in a bit of a catch 22...The best solution imo is to move away from classics into newer models with "impossible" to replicate movements (grand Seiko's, or Ressence for example). But these are seen as hyper geeky watches so they're not priced well. The other alternative is to buy limited editions that have easier lookup time, but in order to even be allowed to buy those watches you need to burn money with your dealer. All and all a fucking scam.>nb4 you can tell replicas appartNot with top of the line replicas of classics, it's really really really not possible.
>>51136409I’d rather have a replica that says ”brolex” or something like that. At least then the watch acknowledges it is fake and makes a joke about it.
>>51116046>there are literally people that will pay $21k for 1 magic internet bean with a fancy B logo, instead of an indistinguishable $1 knockoffHow the hell do you buy a fake bitcoin for $1? I dont think you understand how a blockchain works.
>>51116559Hard to say from picture but left real right fake due to the Patek text on the dial
>>51136602You’re right the Patek text on the dial is the giveaway, but I think it’s the opposite, right is real
I’m not even going to lie, I have a regular 116610ln I bought from Jomashop for $10,500 three years ago and I look at the pictures sometimes of fakes and I just can’t tell the difference with some like the noob and the better copies. I wear t shirts and sweats and sometimes jeans and drive a Jeep. I often forget I’m wearing the watch aside from when I’m being careful not to bump it into shit. I like knowing I’m not wearing a copy and don’t give a shit if you or anyone else does. The impressive factor or having a Rolex wore off mostly for me after the first year.
I have a very early rolex. A little after ww1. I have it fitted into a very nicely hand engraved case which was gifted between French lovers in the early 20s. I assume it was looted by Russians in ww2 as I got it in Ukraine. You would never get another
I actually have a collection of ww1 trench watches, I like the ones with names and dates on them. I actually found one that I believe was my great great uncles (name and date narrows it down to a handful of possible men). One of my favourites is a screw face one identical to the one malory died with on everest
>>51123370if you're surrounded by similar people, what are you trying to prove? oh btw...beverly hills restaurant rolex heist of 2021.
>>51132886is that true or is it because there isn't enough market demand for GS reps?
>>51138455The point is if you’re in an affluent area where Rolexes and similar watches are common, you’re not really making a target out of yourself, you’re just as good a target as the next person, in that case the area is more of the target than you. Go to a poor, high crime area with a Rolex and you absolutely make yourself a target as you stand out.
anyone has an updated image?
