Am i wrong or does this mean lab grown diamonds are now (i) 5% the value of a natural stone a couple of years ago and (ii) sold at Walmart for the price not more than a Nintendo Switch game. |
Date: November 13th, 2025 8:24 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship seems like it which means the is the perfect time to capitalize on the delta between a birdbrain's perceived value of a diamond and its market value.
my prole gf has never been gifted a diamond before and i'm getting her a 2ct solitaire necklace and i expect her and her family to be over the moon at the extravagance. |

Also feel bad for any guys who paid out $10,000 or more for an engagement ring the past few years. |

Date: November 13th, 2025 10:02 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship sure but ultimately this is just buying shinny rocks to dazzle birdbrains and any amount spent is stupid. the whole point is demonstrating your devotion by wasting money on shinny baubles. louboutins and hermes bags probably cost like 2% in materials.
as i've grown older i've come to appreciate this birdbrainedness. especially since i'm financially secure. trading a shinny rock for enthusiastic fucking and sucking isn't a bad deal. |

Date: November 13th, 2025 10:24 PM Author: Yellow public bath stock car There's a growing trend of people buying really old Louis Vuitton shit that's falling apart, cutting it up and repurposing it for new shit and selling it. Apparently LV has gone ape shit trying to sue these people, they'll send someone to your house, try and stalk you. Because they believe the "IP" of a piece of leather with their logo on it is still owned by them. They make you sign some shit when you buy it saying you'll never cut it up or repurpose it. Such a joke. Of course there's nothing illegal about this and never will. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5797570&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=4593694#49428993) |

You know what else I learned about the EU? You cannot purchase the copyright to a piece of artistic work from its creator without them having an attorney present. You can't buy, say, a business logo from a dude and say ok I own this now and can use it over and over royalty free. Even if they agree, the court will say no he had to have an attorney. Which I think the EU actually pays for in some capacity. Like they will actually use tax money to pay some random artist for an attorney in order to sell the rights to their art. This is for movies TV music everything. Kind of bizarre lol |

Date: November 13th, 2025 11:07 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship there's a difference between something phony and something real though. it's like the difference between a lab diamond and natural diamond, and a diamond and a cz.
if you buy a high-quality chink watch of its own design that's not phony. if it's made to look like another brand it is. same with high quality handbag versus one imitating a brand. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2025 11:09 PM Author: Yellow public bath stock car Wait what? I don't get it. So you're saying the only difference between a real and a fake is the quality? So if some chinks clone a Rolex to the point only an expert with a microscope can tell is it a real or a fake? I have no idea what you're saying.
What is wrong with a high quality fake watch? |
|
Date: November 13th, 2025 11:17 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship a diamond is a diamond. there is no diamond brand.
a rolex is a rolex. a perfect imitation is still not a rolex, just like a perfect imitation of a work of art or historical artifact is not that thing.
if you have a high quality *watch* that's just as good as a real rolex that's not fake. but if it's made to be an imitation of a rolex it is. and if you wear it you're representing something that isn't true. it's per se phony.
nothing "wrong" with it but i think there's a qualitative difference between the real mccoy and a fake versus two different things of the same quality but one costs 1/100th of the price because it's not a high-end brand. ones pretending it's something it's not, one isn't. |

Date: November 13th, 2025 11:33 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship if you really believed that then you wouldn't buy one that imitated it. if you want a high-quality mechanical watch there are plenty that don't ape other brands. if you're buying one that is, then you want people to *think* you've got a branded swiss watch. so you *do* care, in fact you care so much that you're willing to trick people.

Date: November 13th, 2025 11:38 PM Author: Yellow public bath stock car the people who buy real swiss luxury watches ALSO are desperate for people to believe they're wearing an expensive watch. That's what's so crazy about this. Both the realmos and the fakemos want people to think they own a nice watch. The fakers are just doing it for less. This is covered in this thread with the lab grown vs real diamond shit. Fakes are 180!
If someone thinks you own a nice watch even if it's fake, it's REAL to them! Fakes are real! |
|
Date: November 13th, 2025 11:46 PM Author: cerebral cruise ship yeah and those people buy the REAL watch, so it's not FAKE.
lab diamonds are REAL diamonds. a more apt comparison would be CZs versus diamonds.
you're being obtuse if you can't understand the difference between a FAKE and a REAL thing, versus two things of the same quality but one costing less because it's not branded. |
|
Date: November 13th, 2025 11:54 PM Author: Yellow public bath stock car But people who have fake ones, most people can't tell that they're fake. So to many people they're real. They cannot be known to be fake or real without an expert and a microscope.
You're just saying that people who don't have cslg money shouldn't be able to enjoy the same social status one gets from owning something other people believe to be very expensive. And I'm saying everyone who can afford a cheap Chinese knockoff ought to be able to enjoy it too. I think it's wonderful. Democratizatize social status. The ONLY people who are invested in hating people who wear fakes are people who feel like they are entitled to luxury goods and those who cannot afford it are not. And frankly, those people are sickening. They disgust me, and I hate them. |
|
Date: November 14th, 2025 12:02 AM Author: cerebral cruise ship that's not what i'm saying at all dude.
first of all, i don't care personally. i'm just pointing out that there is a qualitative difference between something FAKE and something REAL. a FAKE ROLEX is a FAKE ROLEX. a chink watch of the same quality that isn't aping a rolex isn't fake.
second, i think social status through veblen goods is gay anyway. ljl that i'm sitting her maf that proles are buying fake watches. i don't wear a rolex! frankly i think people who try to generate status through veblen goods are a bit pathetic. which makes those that try to *imitate* that even more pathetic and insecure. plus they're lying! they don't *HAVE* a rolex! you might as well drop a fake ATM receipt. |

Date: November 14th, 2025 12:09 AM Author: Yellow public bath stock car They don't have a real one but people think they do because they can't tell it's a fake that's the beauty of it. The other day I saw some goat jump off a ledge and land perfectly and I didn't realize it was AI right away. It was fake but my brain thought it was real for a second. If people think you have a Rolex it's real to them. Artie Lang told a chick in a club he wrote Jurassic Park to make out with her in 1995. What is even real? Don't hate the playa hate the game.

Lab-grown diamonds have inclusions too. They are chemically indistinguishable from natural diamonds, but may have some different growth characteristics from the seeding process that you would need a microscope (not a loupe) to see. |

edit: oh yeah i'm talking about just eying them with a loupe and using their diamond lasers or whatever. i'm sure there are methods to dig even deeper than that. what i mean is that even an experienced jeweler using ordinary tools would not be able to distinguish a quality lab from a very high quality natural. |

But plenty of old money rich people are still buying diamonds and commissioning diamond jewelry. Though there is more interest in emeralds and sapphires lately, and color in general. Also, gold at $4,000 per ounce is preserving some value for smaller pieces. |

Date: November 13th, 2025 10:51 PM Author: vivacious bat-shit-crazy school I have deep connections to the high-end jewelry world and this video is 100% accurate (though mostly focused on engagement rings and not diamond jewelry more broadly). China was a big driver of the boom in diamond prices and now the rise of lab grown. They are also being fucked by how few zoomers and euros get married, let alone how many want diamond rings. They are more “experience” focused and would rather splurge on a honeymoon or buying buttplugs or whatever it is these weirdos do behind closed doors.

Date: November 14th, 2025 6:27 PM Author: vivacious bat-shit-crazy school Bro, wear a "rep" at your own risk.
Just this week, I got called out for wearing a rep.
I was out with my wife on our 20th wedding anniversary. Big night, fancy restaurant, reservation I booked a month ahead. I wanted to look the part. I’d been saving up for a real Submariner but… you know. Mortgage, braces, life. So I got myself a rep Daytona. Everyone online said, “Even ADs can’t tell.” Cool.
Dinner’s going great. My wife looks incredible, I’m feeling confident, like maybe the watch is the missing piece that finally makes me look like I know what I’m doing.
Then he walks in. You could feel him before you saw him, that posture, that presence. 6'5", shirt hugging his chest like it owed him money. Hair that looked both effortless and expensive. REAL Daytona shining on his wrist. He was a brunchman, if you know what I mean. He wasn’t even trying to dominate the room; the room just… adapted to him.
He's walking past our table and spots the watch. “Nice watch,” he says, friendly smile, hand on my shoulder like we’re old pals.
“Thanks,” I say, voice cracking slightly.
He pauses. Tilts his head, curious. “Mind if I take a quick look?”
Before I can say no, he pulls a loupe from his pocket, like he just carries one for moments like this. He studies my wrist for about half a second and nods slowly. “Yeah… that floating M gives it away. It's a rep, right?”
He says it kindly. Like a doctor breaking bad news gently. My wife’s looking down at her drink. I can tell she’s fighting a smile.
He pats my shoulder again, firm, reassuring. “Don’t worry, man. We all start somewhere.”
Then he looks between the two of us and says, “Do we dance?”
I stammer something like, “Not really,” and he laughs softly. “Shame.” Then, to my wife: “Would you mind if I showed him how it’s done?”
I don’t even know how it happens, but seconds later, they’re out there. And he’s flipping her. Not twirling, not dipping, flipping. Eight times. Perfect form. Controlled, elegant, powerful. The kind of flips that make you realize gravity’s just a suggestion for some people.
Everyone’s clapping. She’s glowing. I’m clapping too, because what else can I do?
He walks her back, nods at me with this friendly, devastating smirk, and says, “You’ve got a great woman there. Maybe one day you’ll get the real thing, the watch, I mean.” Then he winks and walks off like it’s just another night for him.
That was three months ago. My wife doesn’t bring it up, but something shifted. She goes out more. Laughs louder. Checks her phone more often. I tried to ask once if she was okay, and she just said, “I’m fine. You wouldn’t understand.” I looked at her phone and it's filled with screenshots of real men wearing real watches. I mean so is mine so I guess I can't be upset?
Our son calls me by my first name now. Keeps talking about some guy named Terry he met on Roblox. Apparently Terry “has a real Rolex” and “does back flips" and rides a bmx. He says Terry wants to be his real dad and asked me for money to fly to Romania. I feel like Terry is probably a predator but anytime I try to say anything to my wife or son they just ask me if I have a real rolex. My son leaves for his flight in 2 days and I'm a tad worried.
The other night I asked if he still thinks I’m cool. He shrugged and said, “You’re fine, for a starter dad.”
I just nodded.
My wife feels cold now like all respect is gone, she was wearing new sexy underwear when she went out with her tennis coach Brad at 8:30pm the other night. She said it was the only time she could train but I'm pretty sure the tennis courts are closed after dark? She said don't worry Brad's Rolex lume actually works so she won't be out too late and just laughed at me.
Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I replay that night the flash of the loupe, the faint smile, the perfect flip. I just wish I never tried to be a man that I'm clearly not. The worst part it I know that alpha is out there, flipping other peoples wives, calling out reps. Please take note of my cautionary tale. |

Gold is much more scarce in the universe than diamonds since most natural gold is created by exotic, uncommon, and poorly-understood phenomena like neutron star collisions, whereas diamonds can form on pretty much any large-enough planet with carbon beneath its surface.
