Still waiting on the call for the BlancSwatch?

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

You need at least 6 more Blancpains.

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

Mate, that’s like a new watch every fortnight!

[–] lmmo1977@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You bought 11 watches, of which 5 are Blancpain, in 6 months?

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

My watch friends tell me black on black is a lot irl. That they look better in photos than irl. But it looks like you went black and didn’t look back

Is there such a thing as too much black on a watch?

How are you liking the swatch collab

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

Love it! Nobody complains about seeing a bunch of Rolex. Enjoy the BP’s. They are great.

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

Calm down with the blancpain

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

6 months huh

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

Holy Blancpain Batman!

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

Absolutely not, tasteless and overpriced.

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

Jesus lol. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone post Chanel before. I’m gonna have to google its specs due to the brand being more for show typically.

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

You realize watches come in other colors, styles, with different complications, and from other companies, right?

Unless you just want to flex that you have a bit of disposable income in which case "cool story, bro."

[–] External_Key_3515@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Spending too much, and flexing even more...... Not impressing anyone........ Jus sayin

That bulgari chronograph is beautiful

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

300 fathoms

The biggest danger of jumping to the fast too quickly for any hobby, is that you need time to refine your taste. Or you are filthy rich.

Don't know what you see in those Blancpains tbh.

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

Don’t know what people see in Rolex

[–] The_W4n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn, r/watches is toxic as fuck.

[–] The_W4n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

All jealous they bought a normie sub instead of a fifty fathoms. If you changed out the Blancpains with subs and GMT2’s they would’ve praised you.

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

Exactly…. If it was all Rolex…there would be a ticker tape parade for me on reddit…

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

These clowns have no idea that the Chanel in service has an in-house AP 3120 movement(which is outstanding) and the Flyback Blancpains run Piguet 1185 which also power AP Royal Oak chronographs… all they want is rappers pumping Rolexes out so they can flip them

[–] The_W4n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah normies only take their opinions from articles and influencers. They are “enthousiasts” only because they like what the broader opinion on watches is. Aka Rolex, AP, PP, Casio, Tissot, Cartier, Seiko and GS good. Everyone collecting less “diserable” watches bad!

[–] afla7un@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not for me but at least it’s fresh. Cheers mate enjoy the ride

[–] karleoneSub16610@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice collection of divers! What about a Submariner?

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

Not a Rolex fan, except for sky dweller or Milgaus which I’ll have by year end

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

What do you do for a living? holla if you need an assistant ✋🏻

Is your last name Hayek? Jesus Christ

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

And imagine… I lost a host of other bids on blancpains… there’s an all gold trilogy I’m eyeing

[–] Weary-Independence12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I know you didn’t buy these in six months
