why 3?

One for the office, one to wear casually and one for formal events

lol I don't work in an office

Back in the 80’s, maybe. I like that scene in Dr Strange, but watches don’t really serve a purpose anymore. Cool but archaic, like a top hat & cape. Even that Apple watch is kinda redundant.

Sounds like you just can't afford one (or three) and are making excuses about why you don't need them. How you get a real man's job, maybe then you can afford a fine watch collection.

Had the Fortis 2nd on top row once, gave it to a friend when I bought a Longines Lindbergh Replica. Works fine for 25 years now, don't need more than one watch.

do those watches come with a free fedora and a lifetime supply of your virginity?

wrist fedora

>under 1000 euro
Fucking poorfags, Rolex or you need not apply.

I have an Invicta 3044. Invicta is a notoriously shitty brand but it has a Seiko engine and it's pretty decent. I am open to suggestions for other watches if anyone knows of a huge watch that will fit the wrist of a 6'5 guy with huge hands. Normal watches look tiny on me.

Rolex are fine watches, but today they're an overpriced lifestyle product not worth the money

>overpriced
yeah if you're a poor wagecuck maybe

Look at all those shitters!

It's not about the price, it's about paying 100 bucks for a 20 buck item because it's a hyped lifestyle product

To an extent, definitely, but those things surely last.

Have fun looking like a retard next time you pull your phone out to check the time at work

OP not even really posting high-quality watches

>>spending money on basically jewelry like a woman.
Top kek. Faggots

You honestly think a Rolex is a 100 buck item? Try again kiddo. Rolex's cost real money.
Get a real job like mine and you can afford a Rolex.

Nah bro, hes right. Watches are the best way to spot try hard niggers. Like the business desk jockey trying to over dress hoping people dont find out hes a complete fuckwit. They were cool 20 years ago.

This.
/thread.

Rolex is a meme watch... If you just want to show you have money go with something like a hublot.

If you just want something 8hz automatic with a Swiss movement, victorinox is good

I could diesel swap my jeep for the price of a Rolex, fuck expensive watches

Way to miss the point faggot. Rolex is literally the apple product of watches. Overpriced garbage that's been over marketed.

Correct

Just check the lugs reach the outside of your wrist. Maybe look into Hamilton?

Why wear superfluous jewelry? Are you a woman?

I guess if we all sucked as much cock as you do we'd all be able afford one. I'm just gay enough to suck or want a watch.

I use the clock on my phone

Dude, you realize your phone has a clock on it right?
You don't need to strap a hideous hunk of metal to your wrist to tell the time anymore. It's 2019

Friend bought a Rolex datejust at about the same time I bought my Longines for half the money. The Longines still works his Rolex stopped long ago, and it keeps the time better than the Rolex ever did.

And even if you ARE a huge cuck enough to buy an actual watch, you can just buy an Apple Watch. Conveys all the impotence a watch does at half the price.

Do you wear rings? Do you wear necklaces? Bracelets? Why make the exception for a watch?

Really can't find a single reason why I should wear a watch.

Fuck watches.
If you don't have at least 3 high quality firearms you are a failure as a human

The watch really completes the look imo

compensating for your micro-penis?

Watches are like fedoras for the wrist

Watches are for stressed out landwhales that need their fucking medicine.

How can someone try so hard to look "macho" and yet comes off as the biggest flaming faggot?

lost

Basic bro wears a wrist watch, a man wears a pocket watch or the time isnt worth knowing.

You damn kids and your modern technology. Real men have high quality sundials installed wherever they need to know the time.

Is that your look for gay bars?

Like, having a job?

Torgoen pilot's watches. $400 to $500
price range. Just damn fine watches.

How exactly do you need a watch to have a job?

Yoooo whooo, boys, converge on my bravo, uniform, tango, tango! On the double.

Lol. A bunch of poorfags trying to use watches as a status symbol. If you can't afford a $20k watch, just use your fucking cell phone like a normal person.

kek'd

Like, taking time how many men you can blow in 15 minutes and 45 seconds?

>$20k watch
>not a status symbol
notice how the richest men tend to dress like plebs? yeah, its because they know they dont need to show wealth, people just know they are wealthy based on their merits

My record is 53. Can you top that?

To know what time it is without pulling the phone out

why not just take the phone out?

A $20k is actually a status symbol. You have to have some sort of status to get it. A $400 watch is a "look at me, I spent last month's rent on this" symbol.

Because I'm an adult male not a teenage girl

These watches are trash. Only poorfags would consider these to be high quality.

I happen to have a job, and I never need to know what time it is that urgently. We have clocks, computers, and yes, phones, if we need to know the time.

>teenage girl
>There are over 7 billion active mobile devices
Geez, theres a whole lot of teenage girls out there...

Low self-confidence.

If you aren’t going to buy a Patek, why bother. Everything else is just tryhard trash in comparison.

not really, -anyone- could get a 20k watch if the wanted to, even the burger flipper at Wendy's.

>3 high-quality watches
Time isn't so important to me that I need triple redundancy.

Show me a burger flipper at Wendy's with a $20k watch and I'll show you a person that doesn't exist.

OP if you own any of these three watch brands and pretend to be better than somebody else then you are a failure. Why don't you buy a Zenith, Breitling, or a Patek Philippe, then we can talk you middle-class wannabe.

When I bought my watch which costs like 5.000$ today I was working as a bicycle messenger

the only "decent" watches here are the Seiko and Sinn. Longines gets a pass.

Why? If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

Pulling my phone out of my pocket, especially while driving, is a pain in the ass. Just glancing at my watch is still the most convenient. I'm not out to impress anyone other than myself.

How’s mine?

nice bait

Rolex's are what niggers buy to act wealthy. They may be rich but they will never be wealthy.

Zenith and breitleig are not even close to the level of patek philippe poorfag.

call's others failures,
posts a random internet pic titled watches UNDER 1000 euro.
doesn't even post his watches with timestamp.

OP is a fag

Ultimate timestamp really makes you think

Basically the Cadillacs of watches.

show the back and preferably with more pixels

Does anyone buy a Cadillac for any reason? Nobody under 60 owns a Cadillac.

Most of these in the pic are trash though. Patek Phillipe makes the most beautiful ones. Personally I have an omega constellation and a Breitling but these were gifts from my mother. When I finish medical school/residency and have some disposable income I'll probably buy a Patek Phillipe. I just love watches as long as they are not giant flashy "please mug me" styles. I also fucking hate gold unless it's white gold.

You drive a horse wagon? Every car and motorcycle I've been using has a clock.

that's not true though.
I wish not every 40yr old middle manager bought a Rolex and brings the image down.

Sure they don't have the elegance of A. Lange or VC, or JLC, but they're robust as fuck and have really really nice movements for their price

>affords watch
>can't afford a new strap

Majority of the world's countries are so jelly of USA that this is the best insult they can come up with.

I could easily afford it. Bicycle messenger business was a lot better back then than it is today, and I had a cheap apartment

I’m the one posting the PP annual calendar. Only get one if you would be just as happy wearing it on a deserted island as you would wearing it in public

I own a business that's valued at $18 million.
Wear a $200 Seiko watch that I bought back in college.

/Show me a 25 yo wearing a Rolex and driving a BMW......and I'll own his soul in less than 2 hours.

It’s on order. Custom strap taking 8+ weeks

No shit but they are far better than the trash OP posted. $5-20k for a Breitling or a Zenith is a huge bump from the $400-1000 range as shown by OP who is trying to act rich.

Oh I very much would be. I just have a huge appreciation for these types of things. The craftsmanship that goes into it is just beautiful. How much did you pay for yours?

Snoopy is a good doggo

Secondhand returned to factory condition by PP new can be scored 28ish

Truth, my dad got me a simple Seiko when I turned 18. Still works like a charm

Why exactly would you want to own the soul of a 25 year old douchebag?

Something around 40k for a PP annual, depending if you buy new/used.

PP user has good taste glad to see some anons on here who like a nice watch.

I have a Breguet type XX arriving next week :)

I have the computer display turned off most of the time. I probably look at my watch between 25 and 30 times a day. Pulling it out of my pants pocket that many times is ridiculous plus you're vastly increasing your chances of dropping the thing. Convenience always wins and a watch is by far the more convenient device.

Thanks and breguets are gorgeous. Pic?

Did you get 5k of enjoyment out of it? How so? You could have upgraded to a nicer apartment, or so many other things with 5k.

Take one of another type XX I owned, the Transatlantique....one coming in is no date aeronavale. Regretted selling the first type XX so had to get another

My bro is looking at buying the new PP world timer chrono with that gorgeous blue dial...so nice

Just prepare him for the cost of ownership. I love my PP5146J but $400 a year for insurance plus $500 every 1-3 years if you want the official strap adds up + long maint time and cost. I know complaining about cost while owning a patek is goofy but it weighs on my mind a bit

Serious question;

Do you not care about luxury watches being owned by Swatch, or any other conglomerate for that matter?

I'm hesitant about getting s luxury piece whenever all the "competition" is owned by the same company. Richemont Group might be an exception...

Timestamp time, watches on the table.

Well compared to the watches I buy he is in another level of watch ownership...spent like 70k in the last year on watches between a JLC and a new Vacheron overseas....

Nothing compares to a guy we know who we helped sent his PP vintage pocket watch in for a servicing/resto job....going to cost 18k CAD plus take 2 years to do !

The main thing that matters is the feeling you get when you look at your wrist. My Patek transports me to a little envelope of space and time every time I look down

OK. i have 3 Oris Big Crown Automatics - one of which is declared by oris themselves as super rare.
I have a Bell & Ross BR-01 chronograph - again - not common.
i have 3 rare Seiko Pogues. one of which is so rare the UK service centre of Seiko had never seen one previously. i have approximately 60 automatic wristwatches (most vintage or rare) + 4 waveceptors and one citizen that i bought in Japan 2001
perhaps i overdone it?

Think of it like Coke or Pepsi...huge parent companies owning LOTS of others

In the watch world this happens too...yet companies can maintain their standards and heritage. Look up A Lange & Sohne , one of the BEST watch manufactures out there, owned by Richemont (don't quote me on that) yet still are their own brand to anything else owned by the parent company.

Buy a timepiece that speaks to you and enjoy the shit out of it. If you like watches as a hobby well you only live once so might as well enjoy what is on your wrist!

I had 3 invicta watches at one point but flipped them

I miss mine

I know this. Thanks for the fucking reminder you cretin.

One of the best things I ever read when shopping for watches before buying my patek was: if you died and met Jesus would you want a rolex on your wrist or would you want a Patek? (From a craftsmanship and beauty standpoint)

Very few people feel the need to wear a watch anymore, so it's virtually pointless owning one, let alone three of them.

Anyhow, Grandad:
how's your inscribed commemorative retirement pocket watch & fob chain running these days ? Also, do you remember to wind it up every day, or is the Alzheimer's already kicking in ?

QB. Can you remember what my first question was?

here was the closest watch I could find to my old one

That's the most important thing to me. I guess I need to do more research

Watchmaking is all about heritage and the name

Each manufacture (most anyway) has a very rich history with their own contributions to advances in the industry in some way or another.
Read up on as many as you can, what budget are you looking at for a watch Ican suggest some companies

>standard of fucking people over
>heritage of hating poor people

worth every penny I guess when you have gullible faggots willing to shell out for trinkets and baubles

I own an apple watch? Does this count?

Bro look at the shit people spend money on in the world, shoes, cars, etc

Why be jelly and hate to those spending money on something they enjoy ? Jelly because you can't? Chill out bro

Coming from the generation that thinks black socks with sandals is a cool look...

No.

If you don't own at least 3 sports cars you're basically a failure as a man.

Why would I spend more than $5000 on a watch when I can get a sports car for that much money?

People with at least a minimum of style that don't walk around in their pyjamas all day

I'm thinking like $8k. I really like speed masters and the JLC reversos for obviously different reasons

Imagine being this guy. He both thinks people don't use their phones to check the time and is so self-conscious he can't POSSIBLY consider doing so himself.

Things with batteries aren't watches, they're toys for children

Does your mom accept your homosexuality?

It feels amazing wearing an obsolete mechanical timekeeping device worth more than some classless fool’s sports car that they worship because it makes them feel fancy

If you have 8k, go JLC, arguably better watchmaking / high horology

If you like sports styles, JLC also makes beautiful sports watches and chronographs

Reverso is a classic and can have many nice complications like chrono, moonphase, GMT, etc.

See my pic of a JLC ceramic chrono I owned

Nigga Fuck you and your watches. Bet you wear a tie too that you wrap around nut sacks

My 3 are a Citizen eco drive sports chronograph, citizen eco drive bracelet watch and a rotary chronospeed.
The bracelet watch is elegant and slender, for dressy occasions. The citizen chronograph is nice and bigger and daily work wear. I alternate between Hugo boss orange, g shock and the rotary chronospeed for daily leisurewear. Depending on outfit.
I'd love to own a massive Invicta like Zeus bolt, Breitling avenger and a Citizen navihawk in the near future.
Nice watch. Invictas get a lot of attention. I have a nighthawk and had some other one with a silicone strap I sold cause I didn't like the feel of the strap.
Pretty cool if real. Seen some very authentic looking rolex submariners in my time so dunno, not an expert. If real what's the story of how you got it? Where do you work?

Otay!
