you dont want one. rolex is pleb tier. poor people thinking they got a nice watch or rich people who have no taste and no idea what theyre doing.

>>6250609
where did he say that?

>>6250585
he said he had a mill by age 21 which i dont think came from hard work but idk tbh

Is the bubble at the top off centre?

Sometime sieg figure that his eames chair was fake, so idk. this can be a replica

>>6250607
why? i know enough about watches to be able to tell you this in all honesty. just dont buy a rolex.
heres what you want to get: Sarpaneva, A Lange & Söhne, Philippe Dufour, MB&F, Cyrus, Greubel Forsey, Linde Werdelin, Franck Müller, Harry Winston, Thomas Prescher, Christophe Claret, HYT

if youre going to spend a lot of money on a watch, do it right.

Lel'd a bit at this when I saw it on instagram. Should've gotten an IWC instead.

>>6250611
an ask on his tumblr, he said something like

`i did what what a lot of others dont do and had a cool mil by 21` or something fuck idk

>>6250631
lel i remember that

bai shows off so hard

>>6250585
The same way most people do: by having an income and saving up. It's overrated to all hell but let them have their fun.

If anyone's interested, the most recent watch movement that has caught my interest is the VK/6T series by Seiko, 2011. They're being sold by Time Module, a company set up by Seiko money in Hong Kong for sale to third parties. What's interesting about this movement is that it is a quartz chronograph that has a chrongraph second hand that moves at 1/5 sec. intervals, creating that mechanical "sweep" look. So far, the movements can be found in the Seiko SSB series, some Wired chronographs (a Seiko subsidiary), the Techné Sparrowhawk II, and a few other odd brands. Really want to get my hands on one because they're relatively cheap as chronographs go, have the accuracy of quartz, but the aesthetic appeal of mechanicals.

pic related watches contain the 6T63/VK63

this. everything about these things is ugly. literally everything.

how much does that watch cost

>>6250645
All ugly.

>>6250652
Oh, okay, that's why so many other brands mimic the entire aesthetic.

In b4 you say something stupid like "they're just trying to make it look like the status symbol!!"

Rolexes are shit. Daniel Wellington watches are much higher quality. Everything about DW watches are better.

why is /fa/ jerking bai so hard recently

he hasn't posted on sufu in like a year and a half but all the fuccbois just now finding out about him because tinfoil posted a few of his fits

>>6250665
TOP fucking LEL.

>>6250665
Yeah, especially that logo of theirs.

I just went to the rolex site and it asked me "Would you let us help you finding your watch"
it was fucking pleb, like uber basic luxury sense

>>6250691
Are you fucking dense? Rolex makes a variety of watches in all shapes and sizes. It would only make sense to sort through these.

>>6250663
>implying brands don’t strongly rely on their function as status symbols

damn, i lol’d hard.

you literally made the dumbest post i ever had the misfortune to come upon on /fa/.

you dont want one. aston martin is pleb tier. poor people thinking they got a nice car or rich people who have no taste and no idea what theyre doing.

you dont want one. brioni is pleb tier. poor people thinking they got a nice suit or rich people who have no taste and no idea what theyre doing.

Your troll prowess is weak.

>>6250658
muh feelings are h-hurt.

I actually don't like their look much either (except for the panda dial). The SSB series is pretty low-budget: they don't even have lume and the bracelets are all folded steel. I'm more interested in the movement. The 6T63 has a 24hr subdial that annoys me because it's so redundant. The VK67 has a better subdial layout with 6-9-12, subseconds-chronohours-chronominutes. Unfortunately, they only come in Wired watches, which are only sold in Asian markets and all have worse designs, or Invictas, which are equally bad for me.

>Having any kind of expertise in horology.

You faggots need to get your asses to the watchuseek forum. They will sort out any misconceptions and answer any questions you may have on any watch.

That's an obvious fake.

>>6250717
lol. you didnt get it, did you? rolex isnt the equivalent of an aston or a brioni suit. its an overpriced shit tier brand for stupid people. learn something about watches dude. i posted a long list of manufacturers you want to buy from in >>6250629

>>6250729

>mfw i realize you probably are lurking with an ipad while wearing raybans and some cheap t-shirt with a nasty brand logo slapped on

the fashion equivalent of buying a rolex is buying tshirt with the givenchy logo

>>6250629
this.

if i spot someone on the street wearing a rolex, i suspect he’s got a small dick.

if i spot someone wearing a lange & söhne, i instantly realize this person knows their shit.

(pro-tip: internally, bmw likes to compare their top lines to lange & söhne)

>>6250877
Nope. I'm actually an immaterial trans-dimensional being in another galaxy, communicating to your anime message board via teletechnicalpathy and have no need for carbon based technology or "clothing".

>>6250890
Little to no exclusivity.

Rolex in pic is fake. I know because I have one that is identical.

>>6250585
what kind of editing does he do in all his pics there's always a really nice relaxing white milky layer over the picture its easy on th e eyes

>>6250906
It's fake because of the obvious flaws on the watch.

i don't see enough of it to be 100% but from the magnification on the date it seems fake, yes.
>>6250909
a mixture of slight overexposure and bokeh would be my guess.

What is his job?

>>6250914
That and the crown is incorrect.

>>6250909
he simply cut the dark tonal values. in my opinion, this destroys the picture.

>>6250920
something business related for acne

that and he stretches his pics lel

I really wish everyone would stop lumping all Rolexes in together. I'm in full beat-the-overpaid-plebs-with-their-own-90mm-watches agreement on Rolex's current lineup. But vintage Rolex?

They were high end techwear just two eras ago, perfect incarnations of, and now monuments to, the human impulse to do things intensely and well, which includes doing them with beauty. They were tools for doing things like climbing Everest, navigating a plane over long distances, or doing scientific research in the roughest conditions. They were meant to be used and beat up, which they frequently were: the best examples have what's called a "tropical dial:" a black dial that's been aged by equatorial sun to a rich, dappled brown.

The best models, to my taste, are the first and second versions of the Explorer, and the GMT Master. Ideally with a Pepsi bezel (pic related). None of them are perfect, although the Explorer I perhaps comes closest, so pared down and direct, lacking only in that 24 hour dials are so obviously superior. The Explorer II is imperfect in lacking a Pepsi dial option and in having a date function, and the GMT Master just has the date function.

(But thinking about it now, maybe it's just a matter of different times, and the GMT Master (again, black dial, Pepsi bezel, as pictured gone tropical) might actually be perfect. What's bothered me about them is the extra fuss implied in having to reset the calendar every month, for little benefit. But a mechanical is fussy no matter what, and when your only link to the broader, quotidian world is a shortwave radio, a calendar on your wrist could be an essential comfort.)

>>6251750
One or two of those three, plus some carefully selected token Audemar (just because "Audemar" is so, so euphonious) are the only mechanical watches I'd ever bother to own under any circumstances that don't involve flipping them. I don't own any of them; I'm too poor right now and they're not essential today. I use a Modaine Evo and a Terrorist Special. I wish someone - and maybe someone does; I'm not a huge watch nerd and haven't given it too much research or thought - would make a watch today that re-embodies that spirit, somehow transcending the essential frippery of a watch when any serious expedition is going to have a rugged GPS receiver that brings down perfect time from heaven.

Maybe GPS receivers are the new sport watches. We need to get a good designer over to Garmin.

(Explorer I in pic.)

well im assuming it was from his parents but yeah
if its true thats hes rocking fakes thats real sad
still seems pretty cool and im p sure hes in those copenhagen effay night club videos

>>6252972

still dresses like 1, 2, 3: rick, undercover, acne

explain.

>>6252978
>i did what what a lot of others dont do
suky suky me rove yu wrong tiem

>>6252988
No really.

Describe a paper pushers responsibilities.

Can't be from his parents, he just stated, "hi mom i made it" with his sheep watch and sheep clothes

I don't think he hit a milli, his life definitely does not reflect as such.

If you can afford a car or anykind of house/apartment you can most certainly afford a 5k watch. It's just a matter of priorization. I know lowish middle class guys who have put twice that much on Hi-Fi.

>>6250783

You can, and some people do, buy Rolex because of their appreciation of horology.

>>6250970

>>6253007
>his life definitely does not reflect as such

Means nothing.

I'm pretty sure he isn't actually THAT well off but still.

>>6250970
More pictures of this guy balling?

he seems cool.

>>6253045
no he doesnt

He looks like all he wants to do is show pictures of him doing things and living the live when in reality he spends all his time holding up his internet persona without actually doing anything

I bet the midget never cooked a meal together with his "gf" or went to the movies

i bet all you do is foam at the mouth on 4chan

>>6253057
p sure he didnt because judging by his huge ego of showing off everything there shouldve been a pic of him sitting in front of a movie theater in one of his gooby costumes or with some greasy chinese food in his hands while wearing dunks in the pic

>>6253062
okay bai keep on being shit

>>6253007
>I don't think he hit a milli, his life definitely does not reflect as such.

what, he lives way more lavish than many multi millionaires that I know personally. Saving actually helps you accumulate wealth.

>>6250640
what's his tumblr?

>>6253066
buying expensive clothing =/= wealth

It's actually the opposite.

>>6253069
Basically what I meant. Maybe the person I replied to was saying the same thing.

Then again, there are different types of wealthy people.

>>6253077
I think we all agree that bai doesn't have as much money as he tries to project he does.

Most the hostility in this thread comes from jealousy. Face it, even though this guy is "flaunting" his expensive items. The majority of /fa/ doesn't own this many nice things. Bai is just some dude who has enjoys the expensive things that he owns. Yes, some have issues with his personality or something but a lot of people actually like his fits.

>>6253045

But that is the point, people are getting mad or just shit talking. No one is even talking about is fits.

>>6253133
I don't care about his fits or his money. Nigga is ugly af

>>6253134

>>6253135
Lol, nobody cares about how fucking pretty he is faggot.

>>6253142

do u know what board ur on?

dumb cunt

>>6253142
exactly nobody cares about bai because he's bai

which is why he's completely useless, I can look at nice clothing on my own

>>6253148
>>6253149
discrediting him because he is "ugly". Sure he isn't handsome but that doesn't mean he doesn't have style or can't look good. I am pretty confident he dresses better than you and most ppl on /fa/.

let's be honest, i'm a bit jealous of him

>>6253164
I already told you I don't care what he dresses like.

He's just ugly.

I'm not discrediting him for anything he does because I don't give two shits about what he does.

>>6253119
ACNE Studios?
Does he work at ACNE?

>>6253175
he brings coffee

So it seems like i finally have a new job again, and i want to up my level of "professionalism".

I'd still like to keep my main look in the jeans/chinos + dress shirt/merino sweater department, but I think the time is ripe for adding a sports coat into the mix.

So what else can I do to research on the subject, apart from reading all put this on articles on sports coats?

Any particular brands /fa/ would suggest that
a) have an off-the-rack/little alterations fit for a slim guy, while allowing maximum movement
b) are middle class, price wise. I am not exactly poor, so I dont need the cheapest, but I am not that loaded, and most of all, I want to avoid to look like someone with more money than style. What would a price level for middle class be?

>>6253172
You are saying that his face/body is ugly. I am telling you that he still looks better than you because he knows how to dress. Post a fit to prove me wrong, I already know you won't
.

>>6253184

what the fuck dad ur so embarrassing

>>6253188
Yes, I'm saying his body and face are ugly. The clothes he wears are nice. Just not on him because he's ugly.

>>6253176
Okay I just read one of this replies from a user on his instagram and he said;

_bouga
Hey man I love all your photos and clothing! Haha was wondering what do u do as a career? @baixchen

>>6253149
>>6253135

ok this is me

im sorry, i am jealous, i am a neckbeard that is too fat and has too wide hips to fit into ANY nice clothing

its honestly depressing me man

>>6253195
But his body is pretty decent?
He may be a little short thats all.

>>6253202
No, his proportions are all whack. Somebody post the mirror shot he did

>>6253200
nice projections dude

unlike me saying I just think he's ugly

>>6253195
most autistic thing I have heard today. Well, you might as well give up your self because you are not a male model and you never will be.

If anything this dude is around average or below looking. That doesn't exclude someone from still being /fa/ despite that they aren't model tier.

>>6253206
>using /fa/ as an adjective
>not autistic

I still think he's fucking ugly no matter what you throw at me.

>>6253206
Okay well, I'm re-reading his comments and I don't he meant to say he wasn't /fa.

He just finds him unattractive.

>>6253202
those tattoos are disgusting

>>6253206
Okay well, I'm re-reading his comments and I don't he meant to say he wasn't /fa.

He just finds him unattractive?

>>6253217
Finally someone who gets it.

I just think he's ugly. No matter what good clothing or style or money.

It doesn't mean he can't be an achiever at life, I just think he's ugly.

>>6253222
he is but i'm jealous of

his flat
his job
his clothes
his lifestyle
>tfw forever a loser

>>6253256
I'm not. I'd rather look in the mirror and not be disgusted by what I see than have any of that.

>>6253222
I see what you mean. If it is too detracting then yes it can be an issue.

I still think that someone can look good and be an inspiration even if they are ugly. Fashion for is not about what face you were born with, I am more interested in clothes and how the look on bodies.

>>6253269
for me*

>>6253269
Johji is good looking though. Bai is ugly.

At least Bai seems to know that he isn't attractive and just cuts out his face. I just wish he didn't distort his pics so much with forced angles so you could see what the clothing really looks like

>>6253264
>I'm not. I'd rather look in the mirror and not b
because you're not ugly
i'm ugly (more than bai) and everything in his life is better than mine
>tfw

this is what he actually looks like btw

>>6253321
that shit still cracks me up

>>6253269
all of it boils down to the whole 'dont let your own clothes wear you' shit

you gotta have that swagger when youre rocking your fits. most of the dudes i get my fashion inspiration from arent that good looking anyway (jun takashi comes to mind)

being a pretty looking manboy archetype that /fa/ seems to be going for of course has its advantages though

>>6253321
it's not that bad is it?

>>6253344
he's small, face is ugly, too skinny, proportions are bad

he's nothing special

>>6253344
so fucking short even with those shoes

>>6253348
i read somewhere he was ripped cuz he do martial arts or smth
i don't think he's too skinny
short maybe (how tall?)
ugly is up to everybody's appreciation

>>6253348
He looks ok to me, not amazing though. I guess I would look like a monster or something.

>>6253321
lol look at how he's drowning in that shirt #grail

>>6253351
I read on a forum somewhere he claimed around 5'10

>>6253360
i like how he claims everything that HE owns is a grail. from what ive seen him and like 4 others only call it their grails

protip: grail is a specific article of clothing that YOU obsess over

there is not "thats not a grail" groupthink shit for you noobs

>>6253328
I agree with this. Of course it always helps to have model looks like /fa/ likes though.

>>6253362
5'10" is not that short
i thought he would be like 5'5" or smth

>>6253382
>>6253362

he's definitely no more than 5'5

>>6253368
Agreed. What's your Sieg?

This is actually a problem I believe.

I have money now and I want to buy a "status watch". I know Rolex is The Watch, but I just can't get over the gaudy, bulky design. I hate it. Don't they have some elegant, sleek models for younger people that don't look totally dadcore?

How so. With social media and the public invation and invitation into a mans personal life.

What is he driving? His monthly rent?

Him taking side jobs and gigs as a dj.

His statement attached to the basic rolex, "hi mom i made it" Implying he was able to have sufficient savings just now.

The frequency of purchases, the apparent effort in savings. Quality of clothes he is budgeting, I am looking at the fa gates of hell for reference. Yes, also the mention that he is aware and boastful of, personally pursuing items the public considers "grail"
