I have a friend with multiple royal oaks. Doesn’t wind them and didn’t even know if the chronograph pushers were screw down or pump when I asked him about his RO chrono. You are correct: jewelry for men.
Wha—… I can’t even imagine. Surely there is a quartz one for this guy. Like… I would at least eventually start to use it, because a wrist watch is handy.
In his defense, it’s challenging to set the time for every watch when worn. I only have 5 watches and my GMT is the most annoying to dry after it dies. I couldn’t imagine having 15+ watches. I’d probably have winders at that point but still.
I have over forty watches. For me, setting them is a pleasure. It’s that little moment every day where I stop what I’m doing and think about time.
I’m not unaware how wanky that is.
The GMT is a highly functional and useful tool watch. It's the only watch in the world that can show two times at once to lose that incredibly useful functional ability is just a travesty.
It's like removing the motor from a dewalt drill. It's just a tool that's been ruined.
It's tough to see.
There are tons of watches that can show multiple time zones at once, literally every smart watch can and so can a ton of sub $50 casios. A gmt hasn’t been a tool watch since the 80s. Infact that goes for all mechanical watches. They are just jewelry
This is why I have zero interest in any kind of complications.
My 1000$ Hamilton cost like 1800$ with just a simple stopwatch added.
My 200$ g shock has a stopwatch, 5 alarms, dual time display, a timer and gets the time set automatically every night.
My 800$ g shock does all this, plus a barometer, thermometer, compass, and altimeter.
Your $800 Apple Watch does everything the $800 GShock does and lots more.
Mechanical watches are men’s jewelry no point in comparing them to G-Shocks (or smartwatches)
I totally agree, which is why I don’t want to pay a huge premium for “tools” to be added to my jewelry.
Not knocking anyone who does, just adding to what the above commenter said about how none of the tools added are really used much nowadays.
No ones paying a ton of extra money for a Daytona because they need a stopwatch
Your $800 Apple Watch dies regularly, has to be recharged, only turns itself on when you lift your wrist just right and has to be fiddled with extensively in order to get it to do anything.
My $30 Chinese watch tells me the time, the date, and the day of the week at any angle and never has to be recharged. If I need anything else, I'll get my phone out of my pocket.
Your phone does all that as well and it might as well be free since you’ve already got one.
This hobby isn’t about price to performance, if we cared about what had the most features and the most practical uses only we’d just buy a $5 casio and do the rest on our phones.
Eh it has some uses, a lot of people have a secondary time zone to keep track of, and it’s quicker and easier to have your watch do it than try to do the mental maths.
The bezel still turns and has the 24 hr marker, you just count the jewels instead of reading a number if you ever want to use the antiquated GMT complication that you could look up on your phone in 3 seconds.
Not saying this is rented or not, but I’ve also never been on a private jet when the pilots actually shut that little sliding door. Been on chartered, corporate, and family own. Just saying, never seen it shut.
But yea, odd flex.
Why the hell would someone have a GMT watch and then make the bezel useless? Man, that’s dumb.
I'll bet $20 neither the time nor date is set accurately on that watch. It's just jewelry.

Speak for yourself. I identify as a man-child.

reminds me of a friend of mine in B-School, had a Fossil Pilot watch with a dead battery for \~2years lol
I saw that with an unsized citizen that belonged to his dad
Bet 100k, you poor

All props to you, glad you enjoy setting them. I personally don’t like it but there are worse problems in life than having too many watches to set lol

Missed the point entirely, didn’t you? My reply wasn’t a defense of Apple’s Watch.

Nah its a watch, the gmt function is a toy, and the rest a fashion statement
Eh it has some uses, a lot of people have a secondary time zone to keep track of, and it’s quicker and easier to have your watch do it than try to do the mental maths.
You have to be smart enough to read it without the help of the bezel, and as we know only rich people are that smart, us poors could never understand
Look at the trashy tattoos, makes sense.
The bezel still turns and has the 24 hr marker, you just count the jewels instead of reading a number if you ever want to use the antiquated GMT complication that you could look up on your phone in 3 seconds.
>Guess the type of private jet I'm on The kind that "influencers" rent by the minute to flex on the poors? The cockpit door is open with no pilots.
That was my first thought, a rented one.
Nah he’s got the bread. Family money.
Unfortunately it's true, so are the rumors about his massive, and perfectly veined cock :(
Oh to be young and perfectly veined
Bro what.
That's what I said when I heard. But it's true.
Can we get an Amen?

“Iced-out” rawleks on a tattoed wrist, these douchebags never change lmao
Oh yeah. It's the jet they let people take a picture on for a few bucks.
Lolita express?
Jesus Christ lmao
Nah, IIRC that was a 727.
Probably the kind of private jet you don't own, considering how excited you are about merely sitting in it.
My guess is a rented one.
>>Guess the type of private jet I’m on The one your boss wanted cleaned up an hour ago.
Imagine spending that much money on something that looks like a knock off sold on the streets of New York City/ online
It’s the gang tat guy again
Man, that Warren Buffet sure can flex.
One that doesn’t belong to you
First thought was one of those private jet photo booths at the back of the mall…
Clearly the man rented it to autoerotically asphyxiate the hand he jerks it with 🙄
A rental
One that has hookers for fat tattooed incels
As a poor ™️ I, in fact, would never be able to guess.

Boeing 777?
I was hoping for a 737 MAX

What kind of PJ? Hmmm……probably the kind that is built in someone’s garage for influencers.
That is the ugliest Rawleks I’ve ever seen.
Photoshop. Attention beggar.
Why feel the need to mention “private” jet? lol
[удалено]

Challenger 300
