I have a Ferrari watch and I like it. that’s all there is to it.

oh oh you have a fossil… one does not do that here!

/s

I also don’t care about what you’re wearing. I don’t like however when most people here see a + 39mm and automatically go “deym it’s to big”. I personally hate small watches and a 38mm is already too small for me. I also don’t like to see such a small watch on a man’s wrists.

But I never even once commented or said “it’s too big for you” here. That’s why I can’t stand the way people complain about watches being too big. And it’s way more usual to see people complain about watches being big than otherwise. Here or on YouTube.

Just wear whatever you feel comfortable with and please don’t come to me “snobby” and tell me (or others) that their watch is too big.

I’m confused… the Gentleman is an amazing watch but why are people suggesting it if it’s closer to a 1k than 500,which is his budget?

I’m also assuming that for graduation he would like a new watch.

Btw it’s an often suggested watch but just about the 500 range and also being a little different than the stuff you have, there’s always the Bulova Lunar pilot

if you’re looking for other suggestions

I’m loving this kamasu. Also very good specs for the money. Also the dial looks very good on sunlight.

200 WR and sapphire crystal. I find the build quality a little above to the other 2 seikos I own.

But the seiko you wanna buy it’s also very good

the amount of snobbery here… as usual

TLDR: it’s a kind of a rant below, sorry. But Mido, Longines, tissot, etc are very good watches, well built and many people just diss on them to feel superior.

Despite what many people want to make you believe, in this world and economy, if your watch cost as much or more than many people’s wages, it IS a luxury item. Then you enter the discussion of “entry level luxury”, “mid level” or “high end luxury” which is a vision forced by this industry to justify abhorrent high prices and to endorse the need to show your status from very high income people. This might hurt some people but it is what it is.

Sure I can admit that there are some watches that are pieces of art built by hand and have a tremendous engineering process. I can understand some of these watches costing thousands. Then throw out some precious metal or gems to the mix and then bang!, we’re talking hundreds of thousands… add a limited edition and now we have millions! I’m cool with that. But now we’re in the same territory of those guys who eat steak bathed in gold and stuff like that. Just stuff that very rich people do and/or buy to reinforce their status or just because they’re bored.

The problem is when this vision is forced upon all of us. “wow that powermatic 80 shit”, “mido, tissot, longines aren’t worth it and are all shit”… such fucking toxic nonsense is just baffling… sorry to break that to you guys but your Rolexes, Panerais, AP, Pateks that you use to shit on other less expensive brands aren’t worth what you paid for them.

“oh some parts are made in China so it’s trash”… even if this is true, I hate to break it to you but a lot of high end goods (technology, furniture, clothing etc) all have some sort of production in China and other countries alike. Still doesn’t affect their quality.

In the end you enjoy what you enjoy and I’m cool with that. You can and you spend 20-50k on a watch, ok. I’m happy for you. Just don’t go dissing on other brands (and by association what other people can or not afford).

love that bracelet

praise to you. I work mostly with elderly but sometimes I do some shifts with younger patients in that spectrum (and some other stuff as well). it’s not an easy job. So don’t be stingy and treat yourself with a very good watch, you deserve it 😁

From where I’m from, pretty much anything besides a smartwatch or a fashion watch (Hugo, Armani, Fóssil, etc)
