Why would we roast that which you enjoy?

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Only in good fun! This sub has quite the reputation for specific brand fanboys and some serious holier-than-thou watch opinions … so it can be fun to see what folks like to say with some good tongue-in-cheek roasting.

[–] DrSeuss19@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I see. My only critique would be quality of quantity. But either way if you like it, then you’re good

Great stuff! I like your spread. Cheers!

You have too many Casio watches. Roasted 🔥

[–] Kevin_Jim@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

That’s not a real thing.

Your Baltic is too silver. Should’ve gone for the salmon 🤦 (/s)

[–] plannerphil@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is that a limited edition Pepto Bismol G-Shock?

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

😂🤣 it is, for when my GI system is just completely fucked up.

Great collection! Any regrets on the Baltic? Have my eye on that one but am also considering a Lorier Zephyr. Slowly coming around to the Baltic i must say.

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No regrets in the Baltic. It is a beautiful little watch. It is small, thin, and light which can make it feel not very substantial, but it is of great quality, fit, and finish. I don’t know much about the longevity of the Hangzhou 5000A Micro rotor movement - but so far it has been solid. I get around +10-12s per day with regular wear.

The Lorier Zephyr is also beautiful and is on my list of possibles in the future. I really love the Alpina Alpiner Heritage Carree, but the Zephyr is definitely up there.

Right to left top to bottom what's the teal one at 9? I've been looking for something that color!

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I am honestly confused as to which watch you are speaking of. :)

[–] steelthumbs1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Looks like a San Martin.

[–] Knifeheaddd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like you cant help buying watch to fill a meaningless life

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But maybe the watches have created meaning!?

[–] AlfredSwahn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Watch nr. 8, the Salmon one, what brand and model is that?

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where did you get the box? I like the rustic look

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was a gift from my partner a few years back. She got it through deferichs.com.

[–] robertereyes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you! She's a keeper!

[–] ABSelect@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If "I don't have the patience to save for a nicer watch" was a person.

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] PantyPixie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn't care what anyone says. I like your variety.

What Laco is that? Looks fantastic

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That is the Cuxhaven. This is an OG version, but It has just been rereleased this month!

[–] BGrady@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Very cool, thanks!

[–] PeterPandaWhacker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is Cuxhaven a place where cucks get together?

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I believe so!

Vostok Scuba Dude would look nice.

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

On a macro level, this feels like the roastiest roast of my collection. The only thing that may have turned the knife a bit more would have been a question mark.

As a spirit owner I'm just hurt by that Pagani spirit

[–] Letossgm@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's the one with the most colors I've seen so far.

I have that same Seiko in the top row and never thought about putting it on a band like that.

Why would anyone roast someones collection. That is just an impolite way of saying I don't like what you like

[–] xtc24seven@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What’s in the top right corner?

[–] GRXXN@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Sugess breitling homage

[–] FeatureRemarkable349@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Outrageous_Read5838@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What is that watch third from the top left? Looks like a neat piece

[–] u_rang@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice to see the phoibos. The best watch logo imo.

[–] korolew@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Top box bottom right?

[–] kennyfromschool@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You could trade the whole thing for a baconator

Did you get the box first, & then decide that you just needed to fill it?

[–] NeverAppropriate@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just had a bunch of watches - because I was new to the game and wanted to see what I liked. So I decided to get the large box. However - it seems my “taste” is vast and I haven’t consolidated like I had hoped.
