Should men always wear wristwatches?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 21st, 2018 9:52 PM Author: Shimmering depressive private investor I have not worn a wristwatch since sometime in college. I hated how within a year the face would always get some kind of weird scuff on it, the strap eventually tear, or the little knobs would get bent somehow. Granted they were garbage fossil brand watches.
Should I start wearing one again? Can I even be considered a man without one?

Date: June 21st, 2018 9:58 PM Author: French jew Only if you get one with a cool complication like a reserve de marche, or a perpetual calendar or a minute repeater or at a minimum a cool skeletonized watch. A Grand Seiko with a reserve de marche function for like $7k is my suggestion for entry level.
If all it does is tell time -- boring. |

Date: June 21st, 2018 10:26 PM Author: French jew After the quartz crisis all the better manufacturers learned to police supply to the point where the waiting list for a lot of Vacheron and Audemars Piguet and even the better Rolex models is something like "sometime after 2025." You put down a deposit for the pleasure of waiting 8 years. They sell for way, way, way over retail on the grey market. Like Ferraris. This is generally all for shit over $30k. At the $10k price point it's easy to fall for a model with resale value that's less than half of retail. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4007686&forum_id=2#36288060) |
