Do I want one of these and why not?

>>14667639

yes

First for Hamilton worst flieger.

>>14667620
>Sinnigger

>>14667656
always hitting on me you little faggot

>>14667649
Why?

Is it a good everyday/all-purpose watch? I like everything except the really huge bezel numbers in a weird font, reminds me of TAG Huehue.

>>14667749
cool story

just go to a dealer and try it on you fucking larper

My Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic using the H10 movement runs at -20s a day.
This is my first automatic and I understand they aren't perfect at this price point, but is this acceptable?

>>14667842
If it's new, no.

test

>>14667639
I don't understand why people like the Omega Seamaster dive watches. They are absolutely hideous.

date window is too wide reporting in

I swear there is no handle to remove the damn spring bar on my jubilee skx007. Even went to a jeweler and he told me there is no way this could be removed except with cutters, but I'm tempted to get a second opinion. Apparently nobody on the internet is having this much trouble with theirs.

I just want to put a damn NATO strap on the guy.

>>14667939
Pictures don't seem to do them justice. They look nice in person. I love the skeletal hands

>>14667965
There is no circular rib for a springbar tool to slot into and push the rod down?

How do you become one of those guys who just wears the piss out of a single nice watch? You have those boomers who did/do everything with their Rolex. Diving, mountain climbing, fucking yard work, they don't care. I just can't imagine doing it, even though I want to. Why risk ruining something so nice? Is it me just being a poorfag/wagecuck? Autism? I want a beat up ass "patina" watch, too.

>>14667965
>>14667984
Seiko in their infinite wisdom use spring bars with no shoulders on them, so there's nothing for the tool to grab on to. You've just got to get violent and brutalize the thing to push the spring bars

>>14667993
It's all but impossible to me. I've easily spent an hour. Even if I get one side, I'm worried I still won't be able to do the other one.

>>14667992
I've only one worn watch for the last 5 years, but it's just a $200 Ecodrive.

>>14667939
Ugly as sin while the Speedmaster is extremely handsome.

>>14667965
Gay

>>14667993
I'm pretty sure it does have shoulders on them unless you've been given a bootleg pajeet one

You're trying to do this, make sure you have the right tool

>>14668051
It looks exactly like this youtube video: that is, you can't see jack shit. Maybe my springbar tool is just too shitty to get in there. Pretty sure it's not a replica. I bought it from Long Island Watch about 6 years ago.

>>14668086
Why has the art of not cutting off goddamn hour numerals with chrono subdials been lost to time and everyone cuts them off nowadays?

>>14667639
If your wrist can handle it, go for it. It is a nice looking watch. Well balanced dial layout and case design.

>>14667992
I wore only my YM for 12 of the 18 years that I had it. Just buy a watch you really love and stop reading about watches.

>>14667653
>>14667950
I don't understand you. You are intent on spamming the same watch several times in every thread, but have no interest outside of this of actually engaging in conversation, or no apparent interest in watches because you just got this one and don't seem to want to get anything beyond it.

Attention seeking? Loneliness? You're like some shitposter, but harmless and inoffensive, just depressing and sad.

>>14668146
When do you wear that plof?

>literally every watch with any band is always either half a notch too tight, or half a notch too loose

>>14668173
And if you live somewhere with large differences in temperature, you will absolutely feel the difference between winter and summer.

What's the best value in used haute horologie watches (or what tanks the most in value)? I want something at a big discount and about 3-10 years old

>>14668147
hmmm yeah kindish

>>14668435
How much do you want to spend

>>14668440
Idk hopefully 5000 or less if it depreciated a lot?
I'm looking at 35-40mm pieces on chrono24 from second tier haute horologie brands and the asking prices are actually pretty high, I thought these fall immensely even after you leave the shop?

>>14668459
I don't know exactly what you're looking at but chrono24 is not going to have great prices. Get a used vacheron, right in that range.

>>14668470
Where are the good prices? I basically want a Calatrava type dress watch on leather

>>14668179
Odd, In January I flew down to a warmer climate and I had to loosen my metal bracelet by three microadjustments to even be able to wear it.

>>14668173
Hello fren, I have just what you need. Extremely adjustable and flexible when moving the wrist (band expands instead of the crown digging into your hand). Just dont ask me why a coast guard needs a parachute.

Is watch thread dead? How come nobody is posting??

just preordered this beaut

>>14667965
Just cut the springbar and order new ones. Regular 22mm springbars are 3$ per 100 pieces, or about 8$ for 10pieces of fat springbars with flanges unlike the regular Seiko ones.

Also, your jeweler is likely a battery monkey as these aren't that hard to remove with a sharp knife.

>>14667965

>seiko

lol

>>/toy/

>>14667992
because back then a rolex was affordable enough to be used for it's actual purpose

>>14668787
Nothing to say anymore. Whoever has the money for Rolex+ got it, whoever doesn't killed themselves.

Just found this in my dads old collection. What do you think of it?

>>14668909
looks tacky

citizen campanola

>>14668912
yeah, there is way too many unnecessary features and designs on the watch imo. I usually go for really simple-styled watches usually. like w

God I'm so hungover I need a beer.

What do you guys think

>>14667620
that watch is hot garbage

>>14668909
age of discovery seikos go for a decent penny, really nice watches, going after some romanticized pirate shit

>>14668961
Same bro I had like 8 claws in the span of an hour last night. Also which Omega should I get?

>>14668999
Speedmaster

>>14667639
Nah, the PO chrono is fucking huge, unless you have 8 inch wrists they're hard to pull off.
Get the Seamaster 300m instead.

>>14668999
MAN ON THE FUCKING MOOONNNNN

>>14669149
>M'M'M'MOON

>>14667842
Check the spec sheet for whatever eta base movement they use (usually a 2824 at that price point). I don't know what Hamilton does to modify the 2824/28/etc at that price point but usually they are somewhere in the +/- 15-20 seconds per day range.

It’s up!

Where's Courtney's swimming scene Teddy?
You need to test the water resistance...

Bought my first watch today. Someday I wont be poor and I'll get an automatic, but for now this goes with my dadcore/comfy look.

>>14667620
Can anyone ID the watch the watch in this picture? Id love to get one because of its history

>>14669255
Clearly a Breguet classique 3910 in white gold.

>>14669255

>>14667965
Finally got it today on the third jeweller's attempt. God damn. I was a bit wary of putting back the same spring bars in case I don't like the nato strap, but no regrets so far.

>>14669246
love this

>>14669291
Thanks friend

Does anyone know which watches Hobbs and Shaw are wearing in the new Fast&Furious flick?

>>14667670
Actually that was somebody else, I've been away for a while

>>14669400
Nevermind I found it, both are Panerai, thought it would be something better.

It's nice to go outside sometimes, anons

>>14669597
How big is this and does it have a display case back?

>>14669618
39mm. No display back

>>14669597
It's really not, people scare me.

>>14669664
Just sitting outside alone on a nice day feels good sometimes, brother. We're all gonna make it

>>14669623
Well shit. I really want an automatic with all that stuff on it but it's kind of useless without the window.

>>14669717
What

Can someone give me a good reason not to save up for a 556i.

I wanted a tool watch with a casual look.

This is probably the most I'd feel comfort spending on a watch atm.

I was thinking of the tudor 36 blue. Can't justify the extra price.

I own one good shitter (tisell marine dive) don't want to piss money up the wall

>>14669677
I just go out to go to the gym. I have to go in front of a high school which makes it even scarier. That's all the outside i get.

>>14669753
save up for a no date sub you fucking cuck

>>14669753
Some people argue that Sinn only puts their good shit into more expensive watches (antimagnetism, antishock, etc.). Check out Damasko, they supposedly offer a lot more bang for your buck in the 1k range.

>€500 sapphire option on a sinn fliegerchrono

>>14669753
Just get it, you can always resell them at a good pirce

>>14669753
I'll sell you mine for $900

>>14669800
I've looked to damasko honestly the only thing putting me off is that the bracelet is a $600 option.

>>14669827
Why not get an aftermarket titanium one for 100 tops?

>>14669753
You'll get bored of it within a week and then it's just an overpriced shitter with a basic movement. Get a damasko.

>>14669860

Ill have a look into it i think it would be a case for trying to find something with fitted end links. I always find straight ones kind of ugly.

>>14670040
To be honest the 2824 is sort of the appeal. I know that's probably not the answer for./wt/. I guess it's the servicing of the damasko , surely anyone who is a way h maker will have come across it. However it may be more of an issue with the damasko.

Not ruling it out just explaining thought process.

>>14670040
damaskos are boring online
cant imagine how boring they are in person

beautiful

>>14669753
It has the most boring dial I've ever seen

Somebody redpill me on Oris.

I went to the boutique earlier today and they looked pretty good. However they were only twice the price of a Tissot shitter - is there a catch?

>>14669753
Looks really good except the retarded date window shortening the 3 marker.

>>14670181
They use off the shelf ETA with custom painted red rotor which looks like shit. But other than that, yeah they're good.

Gay ass virgin Hamilton coming through.
Have a nice weekend, big dick chads.

at the omega store

@ the omega store

I like wearing a watch, but the inaccuracy of the mechanical watches really pisses me off. Even +2/-2 for the high-end pieces is bothering me too much. I seriously consider getting pic related as a daily. The size is 43 which I could live with, but I guess most people will call me retard for spending so much money on quartz/electronic watch.

>>14670374
Just get a GS.

>>14670378
Most GS are even bigger than this. But the spring drive is cool and I would go for it if they had smaller size watches.

>>14670374
Get an Oceanus

>>14670181
Pointless brand.

I laughed a little last thread but it's so long for such little payoff. And if I'm gonna nitpick it, you put rolex cellini and panerai in it, those are dogshit. Unless the joke is meant to be that those dogs are still better choices then what's in my box.
>>14670871
There is 5, and they all serve different purposes. Except the blue one.

I want to get a decent everyday mech watch to wear for the next decade until I can afford something better. Budget >$600.

Either this

>>14671204
Or this

>>14671207
You know you want the phoibos

>>14671209
Yeah I kinda do. I know it's cheap chink shit but it has a certain allure. Plus meteorite dials are sick and the specs are good for the price.

>>14671120
God bless you, Bill.

>>14669246
I bought the same watch and send it back the day that arrived. Buttons are too hard to press with gloves (even with bare hands) and I watch on the field. The display looks cool but it's too dark.

>>14671238
*work on the field

>>14671225
Id be curious how the bronze ages in that decade, but if anything, the tissot will be more versatile.

>>14670602
I really like it. Its not massively interesting just a sub homage.

I've had it ~2 years and it's held up well.

So, linjer, how much of a meme is it? People in butthurt comments sections rant they’re bad per dollar, but also don’t name alternatives.

>brand less, minimalist
>made in smaller sizes
>respectable quartz movement
>sapphire dome
>under $300

>>14671548
Just get a timex

>>14671548
Any watch that promotes itself with changeable straps is just trying to rip off normies.

>>14671590
But I don’t want people to see timex.

>>14671609
Then just go to aliexpress, and buy one of the 100s of minimalist sterile dial watches you can find for less than £30.

Then quality won't be any worse. You'll still get your 316L stainless and interchangeable straps

>>14671712
you're destitute, so none of them

>>14671143
This is a limited run so I don't think a Western release is likely. I managed to order a Narancia model, but the Giorno, Bucciarati and Diavolo watches are pretty much sold out at this point.

NO SINN ALLOWED EXPECT U1-

GET THIS ONE

Is there any sub-Speedy/Sub watch that's actually respectable for a guy in his late 30s?

Sinn actually offers horological significance und build quality at a good price unlike Soimega or rowlex. Imagine not buying a Sinn.

>>14671791
Too bad it doesn't have a Heuer Bund lookalike with subseconds and a display case back.

>>14670587
She's pretty good looking

>>14671204
The Tissot is one that can really be either dressed up or down, whereas the phoibos will be very difficult to really make look nice with more formal clothing. If you know for certain you'll never need to wear a dress watch the phoibos is probably going to take abuse better but the Tissot is definitely the most versatile of the two and will probably age better.

>>14671791
I really like Sinn's offerings aesthetically but I wonder if they have shit build quality

>>14672162
I own a mr-g. Been a professional model for almost 9 years now. Tell us more about the Chad's you've seen in the wild

Fellas I'm happy to announce I've finally decided what my first luxury watch should be. The no-date sub.
Thanks for reading my blog.

>>14672202
Bad idea, you will never find an upgrade good enough to switch.

>>14672204
Sounds like a point in its favor, no need for other sport watches so I can focus on a dress watch I like.

>>14672202
A 5 digit sub will probably be the first luxury watch I'll buy, although it'll be a retirement gift for my boomer dad

>>14672202
Uh, how are you going to know what date it is

>>14672209
Exactly this. The sub really can't be beat as the one watch for all occasions.

>>14672214
Like I give a shit about the date, no cyclops and nothing to have to fiddle with every other month.
>>14672215
Yeah, as soon as I can find one I'm going in.

>>14672215
True for older subs only, maxi case/dial looks horrendous with a suit

>>14672223
That's why it's called a sports watch. That's why dress watches are a thing.

>>14672239
What defines a dress watch is less strict these days. Many wear sport watches with suits. Classic dress watches are not in fashion atm.

>>14672218
>nothing to have to fiddle with every other month
This is such a weird argument. Once every two months you have to pull the crown and turn it a little bit. How is that an issue in the grand scheme or even on any list of inconveniences when having a mechanical watch? Lol

>>14672266
>Many wear sport watches with suits
Sure, that makes sense, a thin Nautilus looks great with a suit.
>Classic dress watches are not in fashion atm
...

>>14672273
I don't wanna touch it, I just wanna wear it and forget about it. And the Cyclops is ugly.

>>14672275
Work environments are much more casual at present. Even merchant banks aren't enforcing people to wear suits in some departments. That is why sport watches are the 'hot watch' because people want more casual wear. There simply isn't a need for dress watches at present.

Of course all fashion is cyclical and that may all flip at some point.

>>14672297
>in some departments
I hate when people use such gross generalizations as arguments, because they are always correct. As if there was not 1 place in the entire world where suits aren't obligatory.
But still, in any respectable work setting, you're gonna have to wear a suit and tie.

>>14672304
> any respectable work setting, you're gonna have to wear a suit and tie.
In the past yes but it's no longer true. What are the biggest companies right now? All the Silicon Valley firms. All casual dress.

I don't know where you live but I almost never see someone in a suit and I work in a major city.

>>14672162
imagine being this buttblasted because you cant afford a casio. i feel sorry for you anon

>>14672202
>no-date sub.

I'll look forward to your post in a year when you finally get the privilege to buy the watch. Until then, no more posting.

>>14672343
Grow up and buy a Speedy/Sub already.

>>14672349
Where did you get the idea I can't afford a Casio? Are you trying to flex because you are larp'ing having a $4k watch? Kek

>>14672202
Fuck the idea of owning a Rolex. Everybody will assume it's fake if you're in your 20s and it carries a bad stigma. Love my Seamaster, don't have to deal with that bullshit.

>>14672314

>>14672376
Couldn't be any more untrue. If you're wearing a Rolex people will notice that crown.

>>14672369
> it carries a bad stigma
no it doesn't unless you live in some shithole where the only people able to own a Rolex are criminals.

I have many friends my age who wear rolexes and have NEVER seen anyone come up to them and ask "OMG is that a ROLLY :OOO", never.

There is literally no reason to buy a Sub over a Seamaster.

>>14672371
> Compare it to an upper level investment bank or hedge fund. They won't let you in the conference room dressed in a sweater

Haha. Speaking as someone who has attended meetings in those conference rooms I can honestly say you are talking complete bullshit. Stop talking about stuff you see on TV or Film as if it's fact.

>>14672367
I'd never consider getting a speedy. It's been whored out so much it's fucking disgusting.
I will probably pick up some subs in future when the government outlaws cash and implements negative interest on savings.
Not because I think subs are worth the money (they're fucking not) but purely from a monetary perspective.

>>14672385
This. I own several Rolex and wear them almost every day and I've literally only ever had one person ask me about one of those watches and he was a sales guy at work.

>>14672390
Bro, I was interning at Barclays in Luxembourg and there was a guy who wore sweaters (think Marchionne attire) and when he had to share info with management/clients a guy from inside the conference room would come out, ask him and then go back in. They would not let him inside. I don't know what to tell you.

>>14672394
Does your country start with an I?

>>14672397
I worked for Morgan Stanley and we wore polos during the week and t shirts on Friday. And this includes meetings with execs

>>14672397
you're an idiot and a liar. If someone has millions of dollars only a moron cares what they wear.

>>14672397
But that's normal. Sounds more like they didn't want him disturbing the meeting rather than for what he was wearing. I've been in hedge fund discussions where the richest guy in the room was in jeans and t-shirt. Sure there are certain firms where they have a dress code but in general across the entire work force it's moving to more casual.

>>14672406
No but that's the direction things are going. I think globally we're going to see heavy-handed measures to penalize people from accumulating savings and forcing them to spend to keep this whole scam going.

>>14672407
Then I have no idea why they wouldn't let him in, maybe it was a show of power. I just never saw a guy without suit and tie talk with clients or corporate.
>>14672412
? I think you misread my post.
>>14672413
Clients would always show up dressed in the most different ways. I'm talking about corporate. It didn't make sense to me because if you need the information this guy has for a meeting, why not let him attend it instead of having to leave, ask and go back in every 5 mins.

Guess I just misinterpreted the situation.

>>14672397
Barclays are quite strict and not the norm. They recently made their Barclaycard division, which was know for a more casual dress-down work environment, to dress like the rest of the company.

>>14672407
This is more the case in most banks these days. Even smart casual during the working week isn't that unusual in some.

>>14672424
He wasn't the client, he was one of the directors.

Why? Why can't these nigger watch companies do a single vintage reissue right? Seamaster 300? Total shit. Bulova Devil Diver? Oversized shitter. Zodiac Sea Wolf? Overpriced shitter with faux-aged lume and missing the Sea Wolf name on the dial. One vintage looking watch that hasn't been niggered, it's all I ask.

>>14672371
>>14672397
>Compare it to an upper level investment bank or hedge fund

How about you stop pretending you know how the "upper echelons of society" work and admit you don't know what you're talking about

>>14672435
Why so mad? It's only a watch.

>>14672435
vintage re-issues are shit by nature. Basically legitimate fakes.

>>14672429
I guess my office was particularly strict. However I still believe that in a professional environment one should dress accordingly, then at home you can wear whatever you want. In that moment you represent your company and image (rightfully or not) matters.
>>14672438
? I don't understand your post

>>14672441
Wow, yeah. A company using an original design of theirs but modernizing it so you don't have to buy a rare, undersized, fragile, no longer waterproof watch. Total shit.

>>14672442
> I still believe that in a professional environment one should dress accordingly

Every where I've worked that only happens with customer facing roles which are a minority. Sales / Pre-sales etc. Everyone else in the head office is smart casual.

>>14672451
There's nothing good about re-issues. First of all they're fake. They're not the real thing and secondly they devalue the original item they're re-issuing. They're for casual assholes.

>>14672435
In time a company will release a good one, what I like about mine is C3 white lume, and a 1-1 blueprint/scale imitation of the 1970's yema. Overpriced though.

If you could wave a magic wand and suddenly a good and well priced modern reissue exists, what watch would you want it based off?

>>14672456
>First of all they're fake. They're not the real thing
Right. I don't want the real thing. A 35mm dive watch that isn't waterproof and is ready to break any second isn't what I want.
>secondly they devalue the original item they're re-issuing
But how? They're not the real thing. Fakes don't devalue a Rolex
>They're for casual assholes
Perfect, why would I want to be an autismo "watch enthusiast"

>>14672468
>But how?
That's just how it works. Several times I've been in the position where I own a rare original item going for 4-5times retail then a fucking re-issue happens completely tanking the value of my shit.

>>14672463
On the higher end of the scale I'd say Seamaster 300 that's at least SIMILAR. The flat, lifeless looking turd they're selling now is pathetic Cheaper, I like the Zodiac Sea Wolf but it's not quite right.

>>14672663
> Which watch has the 3255?
Rolex Day Date 40

>>14672663
my bad, I meant the 3235 movement. It's in the new sea dweller and datejust and what ever else. not in sub yet.

>>14672663
and the new gmt master also has that sweet 70h power reserve in the 3285 movement

>>14672714
just checked the prices on these lol they are insane for the steel

>>14672726
do ppl really pay 2x msrp for steel rolies rn? lol

Try posting a real Tudor, and not a fake, and maybe we'll appreciate it.

>>14673110
Don't bother. Even if you got on a wait list today it would still be a few years before you got any of the hot watches. However by then Rolex will have increased production so they will all be available in store with maybe the exception of the steel Daytona.

Just got this. I really like it.

>>14670678
holy fucking shit lmfao

>>14672013
because they're built worse than chinkshit?

Any recs on a cheap but not CHINA strap to replace this broken one? This watch is cheap enough that it's almost more worthwhile to buy a new watch instead, but I liked it as a beater.

if you think a 40mm steel diver is heavy you got problems.

do you uniroincally prefer the old jangly fucking dogshit hollow rolex oyster bracelets? fucking christ
rolex used to be seiko money when they sold those hollow shitters and they kept them for a long fucking time
this industry is a fucking meme desu

I bought another tuna, black ceramic bezel on the bracelet this time, as my final watch.
make fun of me for being weak

>>14673455
>as my final watch
Come on, anon. You know that isn't true.

>>14673464
the original omega ploprof is the only watch left that I was interested in other than the tuna.

Shit watch looks terrible

>>14673306
Seems like the Oris Diver 65 or Yema Superman are my only options.

>>14673469
best not be talking about me

>>14667992
Wear my Rolex every day since I bought it 7 years ago. I wear it swimming, golfing, everything

How is the Nixon regulus? Need a decent /out/ watch that also looks fine for urban life.
I'm a wristlet though so might just go for the classic casio instead

>>14670678

>>14673455

>>14673400
> this whole market is actually retarded as fuck
To be fair this whole steel sports watch mania has only really sky-rocketed in the last 18months or so. The current x2 or even x3 MSRP prices on the grey market for new Rolex or Patek models is a bubble that will crash eventually and then some kind of normality will resume.

Last time I posted my fossil watch I rightfully got shafted and shat on by you guys- thanks for the honest feedback. It was a choose your own watch gift by my future wife who will let me choose any watch I want, but I don’t want her spending over $300 because we’re not that wealthy. I’m conscious of a few things: versatility for dressing up/down, size of my wrist and price.


Tl;dr wedding is coming up within a few weeks and I can get any watch I want. Granted, under $300.

I had a suggestion of getting of getting above (Timex Marlin) which is $289 CAD with 15% timex online discount. Below is the fossil watch.

>>14673642

Hamilton Khaki Handwind with an ETA 2804 movement. Best mechanical watch bang for buck under $300.

Avoid the Timex I've heard bad things about the movement going bad really fast, it's a shitter from China

>>14669291
Seems about right for a watch of someone who accidentally boils an MLP figurine in his own cum.
They should use that as advertising.

>>14673695
how would you even derive that from what I replied

>>14673642
I think the timex looks nice.

Hamilton khaki handwind is nice however is different from both the watches you posted.


Timex is a much better choice than the fossil. I'd go for it if you like it. Its a wedding present and I wouldn't let autists chew you out on /wt/.

I'd say go for it.

>>14672531
Stowa and Laco are both pretty solid while remaining true to the Flieger heritage. If you're looking for something that still has that same sort of styling but that's also basically indestructible, I'd go Damasko.

None of them really retain any sort of value but pretty much all three are solid with Damasko being my favorite of the three, then Stowa before Laco. If you just want a well made watch that will last you a lifetime without worrying about whether it will have any resale value, you can't really go wrong with any of those three (Archimedes is also a good choice in that price range, also German made and with a decent history behind the brand).

>>14672476
It tanks the value of your shit because the original doesn't fucking actually matter beyond the history of it. Sure you could say because of the older manufacturing techniques that it's more valuable or whatever, but people want vintage watches primarily for the aesthetic that they bring. Nobody outside of an autistic group of people you could fit into an American commuter car actually is so enthusiastic about the original pieces that they wouldn't pay significantly less money if they could get a reissue which accomplishes pretty much everything they were looking at in the original while also retaining modern conveniences like a more modern movement and modern waterproofing/materials.

Watches are for wearing, not storing in a box so that you can bank your retirement on them later. You sound like the pleb, not the people who see a watch for more than just a thinly veiled gambling operation.

>>14672371
Upper level investment banking positions are significantly more niche than stem positions at this point, and often the stem guys are making more wearing their jeans and a t-shirt than most corporate middle management in the best suit a Men's Wearhouse store-card can buy.

Love this argumentation tactic (not disagreeing with you).

>>14672442
I really want to agree with you on the point of dressing professionally because I generally am for social requirements for people to out effort into their lives, but that's just not the way things are going at the moment. I hate to sound all /pol/ but the first world is starting to implode logistically in many areas and being overly serious in a world that becomes more clownish by the day is a one way ticket to offing yourself because you can't bear the whole world on your shoulders.

Wearing a nice suit to work every day sounds awesome and all, but in my engineering firm you'd basically be looked at as if you had four heads if you showed up in anything more formal than a pair of cargo shorts and a flannel shirt (unless you're going to a corporate/business event and then usually a basic sport coat and slacks is advised).

>>14674043
Well would you rather have me be hyperbolic and say all? No, I don't have access to the knowledge of every single engineering office environment in the world, but I've been in the industry for 10 years and I've never seen one where anything more than business casual was expected.
