He needs something to fill that void in his he.. ear

[–] nerawkas88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The watch is nothing to brag about.

[–] Necastiva_Sila@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If price is the only noteworthy thing he has to mention about the watch, he either is clueless or the watch is overpriced.

I was gonna say, it looks like a cheap piece of garbage

looks like a cheap fashion watch

[–] potua@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oddly enough, and unrelated, but I've recently discovered that jewelry brands actually make insane watches. Bovet, Bulgari, Harry Winston, Chopard, and of course the usual suspect, Cartier - they make insane watches as they partner with watch movement manufacturers such as Agenhor, Flurier, and Chronode. These independent movement makers are partnering with MB&F for projects, and that's insane to me.

What’s a cheap fashion brand?

[–] ObjectiveDizzy5266@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Genuine question: what makes you think that he’s bragging about this watch?

[–] JJ-Rousseau@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Watch is as awful as those tatoos.

[–] zagggh54677@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why all the hate? He likes his watch. Live and let live.

[–] LordPoppinCherries@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

For a while I thought this a r/watchescirclejerk post 😂

1.) Does he actually think that impressed anyone?

2.) Does he exactly think that the $300-400 that low quality fashion watch costs is a lot/brag worthy? Oh honey…an entry level Omega or Rolex is worth 20 times as much, and those aren’t even true luxury brands.

If a man brags about the price of his watch, most likely it is a fake, but you should avoid that person regardless.

[–] Mpuls37@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Look, I know it isn't expensive to us watch nerds, but $400 is a chunk of money to spend on a luxury item for a lot of people. That's months of spending money saved up and allocated on (basically) jewelry.

That said, dude's a clown to brag about the price of his watch, as is everyone else who does so. If I ask you what the price tag is, sure, flex a little if you're proud of it. Don't bring it up unprompted.

Tell her that her watch is shit and that she looks like Sinead Oconnor

[–] mrporque@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

One man’s trash another man’s treasure. Trash in this case.

[–] FinishingDutch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That man’s lucky he never met a poster from here :D

Sure, $400 is more expensive than a $20 Casio, but when the cheapest current Apple Watch runs you $400+, that’s not exactly bragging material.

And to brag about THAT particular watch? Man, get the fuck outta here. That guy wouldn’t even get roasted on the circlejerk, we’d take pity on the poor guy.

[–] Franglais69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's trolling you are redditors in the comments aren't getting the joke (unsurprisingly)

[–] 445323@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Could you explain it to us then oh wise franglais69

[–] Lolzyyyyy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know what's worse , that this guy is bragging wearing a dogshit fashion watch or that he payed close to 400$ for it.

[–] Pargula_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like a piece of junk you buy from one of those live TV adverts.

[–] Archtects@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That is a Hugo boss watch. It’s about 300$ for a quartz watch that most likely was a 40$ fossil watch so brag away, dude has 300$ to just burn I guess

[–] NemethSzilard@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bragging about a watch's story, quality, rarity is completely fine, even if it's a $50 watch.
Bragging about the price has nothing to do with the watch. It's about the insecurity.

[–] taizzle71@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, what a joker. Not that he's wearing it per se but the fact that he's wearing a fashion brand and bragging about how expensive it is. $300 tops.

[–] ItsTommyV@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

HUG OMEGALUL BOSS

[–] reihem@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Brickwx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Probably worth around 500€

So many wannabe rich snobs in here. I don’t get “watch guys” and never will. It’s like they spend a few grand on an over priced watch and learn a few industry terms and then all of a sudden they are high class snobs. My sister in law who is customer relations for patek in nyc and the watch maker manager there laugh at people over paying for Rolex, omega, and they never heard of Hamilton or tissot. All of you “watch guys” are over paying for a status symbol , as much as you don’t think it is about status. The watch maker manager and I were chatting at a gathering and I mentioned a MK watch I have had for years and the second hand came loose. He offers to fix it in his spare time. The point is It was not benefits him knowing it was a Japanese movement.
