Watches

Dive watches don't look nice. Submariner is just to show off.

The high amount of bb58, including the blues (and their discounted pricing) should show how people really feel.

They were rolex placeholders until people "got the call"

It's why I like the unique pieces like the pelagos.

Watches are status symbols and because it's a scene dominated by men we can't accept them as jewellery and attempt to intellectualize the topic. I don't see women justifying a Chanel bag because of the specification of the leather stitching. Just get over it. It's ok to just like watch a more than watch b

Rolex is dull and overrated

Watches can be a good investment.

Mechanical tool watches are an oxymoron. A G shock will outperform any 25k watch.

Dive watches are ugly. I get their use as a tool watch for divers before digital existed. Their popularity now is baffling.

Field and pilot watches are dope. Also dress watches on leather bands. Also Casio.

lololol fear of down voting

Grand Seiko is just another name for Seiko.

Watch lovers with small wrists should make their complaints directly to the watch companies and stop flooding watch reviews and release videos with useless and pathetic "WHERE MUH 35MM VERSION!?!?" comments.

Elitist mechanical watch snobbery based on "craftsmanship" makes no sense in a world where Swatch exists and is a successful company. It makes even less sense when that same company saved the entire mechanical watch industry from being killed in the Quartz Crisis.

The waffle dial on the PRX automatic is ugly. It is also ugly on the Royal Oak.

Even worse than the flippers are those who purchase watches just to keep them in safe deposit boxes.

Hype is a valid reason for buying a watch.

There's nothing wrong with buying a Rolex because you see it as a rite of passage or a symbol of success.

Casios- and g-shocks in particular- scream middle/high school dork with a zip up binder to me. Value for money is definitely there and I can't discount the pure practicality of them but I cannot appreciate their aesthetic.

I don’t like the oversized watch trend. Even if it doesn’t feel heavy on your wrist, I don’t think it looks good at all.

Longines Conquest's bezel is just too overwhelming

Tudor has completely lost touch with their purpose, they should cost as much as a Tissot

-Tissot PRX is disgusting -Seiko and Grand Seiko are all ugly -An entire collection of watches with only black faces is cool -Rolex watches are the most aesthetically pleasing and far too many people just hate them because they’re popular -date windows are beautiful

Burgundy BB58 is hideous

NATO straps make any watch they’re put on look cheap and also aren’t meant to be used on watches that have spring bars, they put tension on them and make them pop out. So anyone claiming they protect the watch is unaware it’s fixing a problem it’s caused. They were designed for military watches where the case had slits to pass the strap through because it was the cheapest way to do things.

I hate Tudors hour hand.

With that large square block. Just make the hands more luxurious and I would have tons of their watches

Esthetically, Seiko is the Cole Haan shoes of watches. If you try to be everything, you have no identity or your own.

Low cost/Chinese homage watches are a low risk way to help downselect between 2 high price watches where you’re unable to buy both.

Grand Seiko spring drive watches are too thick compared to other watches, but it rarely gets mentioned given how unique the movement is.

Also, lug to lug measurements are more important than case size measurements for a good fit.

I cringe out of my skin whenever someone calls a luxury automatic watch a "tool watch" or balks at a watch because of water resistance or something similar. If you want an actual "took watch" just buy a fucking G Shock. Automatics are, predominately, men's jewelery these days, and it's OK to embrace that.

I like the cyclops on Rolex. Makes my GMT date easy to read

I absolutely love Michael kors quartz watches. I think they look great and you can often find them for less than half of retail.

I also understand why folks would criticize paying full price for them.

Not a fan of the Rolex Daytona. There I said it.

Panerai should be commended for never faltering or compromising on their wild fucking design language.
