How do you like the Tudor? I've always wanted a day date that fits on my wrist nicely

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love it! Its a smaller size, but I feel that suits the vibe. Until Rolex comes out with a steel day-date (never) this is the next best thing, in my opinion

[–] gleamnite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'd guess that you're an associate at a law firm. Conservative and not overly flashy, but no "made Partnership" watch yet.

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very close!

[–] mroranges_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Consultant, golf is main hobby, prefers "safe" upscale restaurants instead of trying the eclectic indie spots

[–] CheGuevarasRolex@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love the Breitling Aerospace so much

[–] yathree@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You probably like either aviation or sailing.

[–] not_old_redditor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Those aren't really statement watches, so they don't say much. Very black & white.

[–] randomrep1234@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That You will soon buy a Rolex

[–] No_Beach2768@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t think that worthwhile people determine much about someone based upon their choice of watches. They’re a matter of personal choice. The trouble comes when you curate a personal collection of watches in the hope that people perceive you a particular way.

[–] asatrocker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You have a WUS account

[–] FRA-Space@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have a life outside of watches, which requires most of your budget, but you still like nice things.

All fine with you. Have fun with your watches!

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds about right... though I do wish those priorities were something more interesting than bills! Thanks buddy

I keep to myself.

[–] Agitated_Cell_7567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You dont like leather.

[–] Throwaway_Alt227@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That Breitling is pure class mate

[–] snowbongo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It says, you like those three watches.

[–] Bridge_Too_Far@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They say you’re a para-legal who knows his place.

[–] lemon31314@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You pretend to hate on horoscopes but secretly find it fun

[–] Spuckuk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are easily influenced by salesmen getting rid of unpopular models

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nope. Only one of these was bought in store from a salesman, and it was the aerospace- which definitely isn't an unpopular model. The other two I bought online (the Tudor from asia), so no sales tactics involved

[–] pawelgrzegorziwaniuk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It says that you like classic design.

[–] RealUltimatePapo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a fair comment, I have thought about that. Just for fun, what watch might you add to get a splash of colour whilst maintaining the same sort of vibe?

[–] RealUltimatePapo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Vibe, schmibe. You need this bad boy in you life, stat

[–] RyoshiTheHunter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes you make bad decisions

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fair enough! Which of the three is a bad decision, you reckon?

[–] RyoshiTheHunter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Strange, since none of these three are a san martin...?

[–] MrPerfume@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A guy who wanted a Rolex so much but could not get one.

[–] OmegaMan1975@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

you dont like color

[–] stef-navarro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun game! You must be GenX, I don’t think many millennials or younger would get the Breitling. You value quality and value for the money. You dislike flashy things. You must be an office working seeing the state of the watches, but you probably like some outdoor hobby as well. You’re probably of average+ height and size if you can wear the Nacken.

(And yes I saw the comment on your age afterwards, decided to leave my original comment 😄)

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All fairly accurate, aside from the age! Very good guesses. Dead on about valuing quality and value for money, and the desk job, and average size and height. I'm curious though, do you think then that Breitling has fallen out of favour with the younger generation?

[–] stef-navarro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I have never seen someone below 45 wearing such a model, but like the datejust was uncool for a few decades, it looks like these are making a comeback as vintage models. Good news actually, those are quality timepieces for sure.

[–] hingee@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those NTH Nackens are absolutely bombproof

Military grade watch 11.5 mm good for 300 meters

Great choice

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks buddy. It really is impressive that such a good package can come in such a small size form. Most 300m divers I've tried are much thicker than 11.5mm

[–] 1ndrid_c0ld@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A desk job is your profession, and you fancy adventure.

[–] Velorion@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You make more money than me

[–] fourth-disciple@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You work in the STEM fields not law as someone else mentioned.

[–] glassestinklin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love the Nacken. I bought that exact lume dial last year and enjoy it so much, I just snagged the blue version. These bad boys look great on a tropic too

[–] mrlogicpro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You are able and willing to tell the time

[–] gregusmeus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Aero says you're a no nonsense superstar who can make the ladies pregnant just by walking into the same room as them.

Why yes I do have an Aero myself, what made you ask?

[–] cuequestions321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did we just become best friends?!!

[–] megbaby227@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

you’re a man who inserts his opinion where nobody needs it :)
