How could he afford a Patek Philippe watch? Was a Swiss-made luxury mechanical watch really necessary for The Driver...

Did he pass it on to Baby Driver as a family heirloom then?

Maybe he pocketed it after a job?

How many of you use watches in an unironically way?

wear mine everyday

I feel naked without my watch. Only take it off to sleep and shower.

Great for meetings and checking up real quick on things. Fast reply. With data you can take it anywhere and leave your phone behind.

I liked, they look great but for me is just a hassle to wear it.

i wear it cause i find it practical. when i'm walking down the street in a rush i find it easier to look at my wrist then pull out my phone.

okay I'm definitely getting a stupid expensive Patek Philippe watch now, thanks OP

I wear one for work for fashion reasons. Bitches see a man with a nice watch and dress clothes giving firm handshakes and know I mean business and totally not overcompensating.

I used to be insecure like this too, not even sure why. You just get over it eventually. Now I get compliments on my watches and sunglasses and im not even a tryhard.

>hey wow nice watch!
>its my absolutely trashed Seiko 5
>the face and band all scratched to hell

I work in HR for a Finance company. Haven't lived with my parents in years.

I am aware of both that syndrome and the fact that literally everyone just thinks about themselves, but I can't put that fact in my own reality, or in other words that doesn't change the way I feel when I try wearing something like that.
I guess what I'm asking is how to stop giving a fuck

Im one of those Gshock sperg lords. I have watch to wear to nice occasions but day to day Im in love with this fucking watch

Just do it. Wear a fucking watch and go outside. You're not special or above wearing a watch you pretentious fuck, you're just afraid of making a visible effort to look nice because it makes you vulnerable. You're a fucking pussy, it's not that you're afraid of wearing a watch it's just that you're afraid of being the type of person that would value having a watch on their wrist. You have no sense of self and it's pathetic. You're your own life, stop living to invisible standards you anxious loser.

I agree on most things, except
>You have no sense of self
I think it's the literal opposite, literally crippling levels of self-awareness of every little miniscule detail. When I interact with someone I overanalyze that interaction to the smallest possible thing afterwards, small talk is almost impossible to me because of it. I am aware of the speed I am talking, the posture I am holding, the tone I am expressing, the eye contact I am holding, the body language I am expressing, my brain is literally working on overdrive every single time and as soon as I do something "wrong" in any of these things I feel like I did something terribly wrong.

I want to erase that, or atleast to not be so obsessed by it.

Just because I love it, I recommend the one I wear. I dont know shit about watches though, I just like having a blacked out watch thats basically immortal I dont like pulling out my cellphone to look at the time. Now ask yourself why knowing the time is important and you have my answer

do drugs

Looking good gents, I prefer something more tactical myself.

stop caring what normies think. Normies don't know watches besides Rolex. An Omega, a Patek Philippe, a Seiko, a Citizen: these are all the same to a normie

Do you also carry around a MP3 player and digital camera?
Don't get me wrong a watch is a bit more efficient and all, but not nearly enough for it to be worth it solely as a time telling device.

Knowing the time is important, knowing the time at every minute of every day however is not.

In the book his only real position is a watch from his father.

Worst movie ever

Me. I find it really handy since I don’t have to pull my smartphone out of my tight jeans everytime I wanna check the time. Also makes me look busy so I don’t have to do smalltalks or make awkward eye contacts with strangers.

it's a phosphorescent, glow in the dark material

I just wear mine for fashion, it doesn't even work.

Drink alcohol and take dance classes.

>Do you also carry around a MP3 player and digital camera?
there's no discernible difference in level of convenience between using an mp3 player for music vs a phone, same thing with a camera. there is however a difference between a watch and a phone.

Male? I hope?

Because watches are beautiful little machines and their creation is an art form that dates back centuries. To me its like appreciating a beautiful painting, outside of the the utility of being able to check the time with ease

Realize and internalize that people are too busy with their own bullshit to notice your faggotry

When I get intoxicated with any substance it doesn't ever make me "social", it just makes me stop giving a fuck about anyone around me and I literally just go straight home because of it.
This happened a good amount of times when I was actually invited to some bar drinking or stuff like that, as soon as I become drunk enough in the night to not give a fuck about holding some normalfag facade with others I literally get up and go home without even saying bye to anybody.

So I don't think that's a good option.

Did you just discover your new fetish?

That's fucking sick if yours. Don't see those very often.

>Realize
I did.
>and internalize
That's the hard part.

Fuck you uncultured ignorant fag

Agreed. They are lovely things. Which is why I think you should go for something other than a digital Casio watch which has no aesthetic value and is only usable as a time telling device.

To which a phone/the millions of clocks all around the place are enough. I use a bus pass multiple times day, doesn't mean it makes sense to keep it on my wrist.

Chopard watches are meme watches. To a watchmaker these are trash. IWCs are barely above that. They use ETA movements and smash their own retarded bridges on it and call it "IWC".

just go ahead and wear a watch and sunglasses, but do try them out and see if they fit your face/clothing style before you buy. find sunglasses that fit the shape of your face, you can google guides for this.

there are way too many basic bitches that look completely ridiculous with their oversized aviators and they think they're hot shit, no reason you can't feel cool with sunglasses

Even getting one would be sick. Just let him know how much you're into watches and he might gift you one some day.

I think you’re too accustomed to Yea Forums. Whilst there’s incredible discussion and advice on here sometimes, it’s almost always vile dogshit. People will shit on and mock the most minuscule, specific detail with such accuracy it will make most people insecure. Short of wearing bondage gear or dressing like a Victorian basically nobody will give a shit about your actions. Wear a watch, put on a nice shirt, or don’t. Who are you going to believe anyway? The people who say wearing watches are soi, or the people who will say that people who don’t wear watches are immature and soi?

I don't know user, just buy a watch and sunglasses that you like and use it for a whole day or weekend. How old are you? In time you'll stop be so aware of everything and just stop given a shit about those petty things. Don't waste your energy and mental health in those things, is not worth it.

For you guys with luxury watches that costs in the thousands, do you wear it every day or only to special events?

I guarantee you I look at my watch more than you use your bus pass. I also guarantee that I look at my watch more than you look at your phone. You have no argument other than being retarded.

If youve never in your entire life been in a situation where you didnt have your phone or a clock on a wall I feel bad for you.

I like sunglasses a lot, but I have to use prescription glasses all the funking time and those transition lenses are fucking horrible.

He had all of those brands and then some, I just didnt list them all. No Casio though.

The guy is just so rich he has a massive collection, for him collecting watches is like collecting baseball cards. Sure id take certain brands over others but for this guys its about having representstion from every single brand. And they were all beautiful, not just simple models, but lots of gold cases/complications. Im mad jelly of his collection.

Vacheron is owned by richemont, which nobody trusts and has shitty service.
There's no such thing as a vacheron constaintin service center, remember that.
Vacherons get lumped into the same chopshop that services panerai and all richemont brands.
The only richemont brand that has special treatment is Lange, and that's because it's German and not Swiss.
They're the only one of the richemont group to have their own specific service center.
Vacheron also is just a shell name.
All it's designs and ingenuity are farmed from Jaeger Le Coultre, richemont's only brains.

Patek, as far as it has fallen in recent years, is still an independently owned watchmaker that's not just a shell name owned by some luxury goods conglomerate.

There's a reason why collectors trust rolex and patek, and disregard so many other brands: these last two independently owned watchmakers are not subject to the fickle whore that is private equity.
Richemont, LVMH, Swatch Group et al., are all beholden to the whims of their shareholders. Patek and Rolex have no such slavish concerns.

I don't like patek, in fact vc's designs speak to me more. I don't like patek designs and they've gotten lazy at the top, but there's a reason why the value of a patek doesn't drop as far as a vc on the secondary market, and rolex is king in that regard.
The brand has value.
VC has no value, and who knows where it will be in a decade. That's the problem with groups like richemont; they can't just mix and match and kill shit off at will.
Only one they have to protect and keep happy is JLC since they come up with every ounce of ingenuity that family of watchmakers is capable of.
Lange is a special case, but I'm wary of making it my "one watch" that I'm saving up for.
I don't trust those richemont cunts.

Not him but I'm fat so everything just looks silly on me.

Then again seeing as I'm already fat I know I don't really have to care about how I look since everyone will already find me disgusting. But for some reason I still care.

Every day. Watches are meant to be worn. If you own an expensive watch and you are afraid of getting scratched you shouldn't own one.

If you want to spend 3 times what it's actually worth.

Traditional dress watches that are very plain don't have lume.
That VC model in the pic is sort of a hybrid: it's a dress watch trying to court a younger "hipper" market.
